Mr. Anonymous

I was a bit worried this weekend. Anonymous didn't make any comments linking to the bjcp site. Disappointed, too. Deleting them always gives me such pleasure. I was so worried that he'd given up and I'd be deprived of the thrill of chucking his daft comments in the bin.

But today he was back again. Hoorah! One little bit of fun before I had to head off for work. I'm so relieved.

Abuse

Whorst (and others too cowardly to sign their name): I don't tolerate abuse on this blog. If you want to be nasty and insulting, go to BeerAdvocate, where such behaviour seems de rigeur. Any abusive posts here will be deleted as soon as I see them.

I hope this makes things clear. I want this to be a civilised and civil place. I've no problem with views that differ from my own. As long as they are expressed politely. This blog's been going for over a year and until this last week I've never had need to delete any comments. Apart from the occasional spam.

Goethean the troll

There's an argument going on in the wikipedia beer pages. Sorry, discussion. Seems like there's always an argument about something. This time it's about . . . . no, I can't be bothered to go into it here. These disputes are dull to an outsider. To an insider like me, they're still dull, but with a large order of annoyance on the side.

Whenever such arguments start, a charming chap with the handle of Goethean always crawls out of the woodwork. A troll with the manners of a warthog and the social grace of a hyena. Maybe I'm being a little unfair on the animal kingdom. Goethean is set on the removal of anything that disagrees with his homebrewer/BJCP brainwashee view of the beer world. And he's prepared to kill (figuratively) to get his own way.

Goethean is the main reason I no longer actively contribute to wikipedia. Unfortunately, he's typical of the type of sociopathic loner that bullies more reasonable contributors into submission or departure.


I'm pleased to welcome creepy Goethean as a reader of my blog. Look forward to entertaining you over the coming months, creepy Goethean.
