This guy?

Never heard of him.

I found your site through someone's blogroll quite a while ago. Before Greenwald went to Salon, as I recall. [I hope my memories aren't disordered. I was under sniper fire at the time.] I liked the anger - as I had quite a bit of it myself. Maybe it was when the Military Commissions Act passed.

Jumping ahead to 2008, I was proud to be one of the 168 Utah Democrats who voted for Mike Gravel. [Mock if you like. The world needs laughter.] Then shortly after that, this Obama guy started to get to me. I decided that even an illusory hope was better than no hope at all.

So I went to the local Obamabot Assignment Center. [It's in a mall location that's been empty since the Olympics merchandise seller closed his doors.] You're under a local anesthetic during the chip implanting procedure. And afterwards they give you a cool "YES WE CAN" pin. I wore it last night while stealing Hillary posters off my neighbors' lawns.

As if now tuned in to some clandestine radio frequency, I found my way to Kos - whose clotted layout had always driven me away before. I signed up to comment and was soon having great fun hanging out with the cool kids in the mosh pit.

The few remaining Hillary supporters there always got the worst of it. But they were useful in helping keep me honest. For example: they got me to (grudgingly) admit that Hillary has as much claim to court the remaining superdelegates as Obama does.

When I visited here again, I was amazed to see how "delusional" you had all become. It wasn't so much your resentment of Obama. I can see how the unconverted might find his presentation just a bit too smooth. "Slick", even. And it's not like Hillary doesn't push our buttons the same way. The invention of the Hillary Nutcracker was not an accident.

It was your continued support of Hillary after the disgraceful campaign she's run. [That's not just me talking. You'll find plenty of former Hillary supporters at Kos who say the same thing.] Shrug off Ferraro's race-baiting as a rogue action, if you like. But Hillary's own teabagging of McCain as having "crossed the Commander-in-Chief threshold" was treachery, pure and simple.

So I decided to ask for entrance to the clubhouse here and probe a few areas. I have been mindful of keeping my antipathy focused on the candidate rather than her supporters. Is the "another one" comment your official notice not to expect a similar level of courtesy?

Either way, it's cool. It's just that if you find my feeble jabs too much of an irritant, you needn't waste your energy insulting me. Just do your admin thingy and revoke my account. In its way, that would be a more damning judgment of Hillary's candidacy than anything I have to say.

If there was a notice somewhere that this site is intended as a pro-Hillary forum, I apologize for overlooking it. In that case, I will trouble you no more.

If not, I ask you to observe that my posts have simply addressed - with my own unique flair, of course - what I perceive as Hillary's flaws as a candidate. They have not used vulgar or sexist language. They have not insulted other members. These behaviors are my definition of "trollish".

So where's the beef, exactly? If my "talking point du jour" - whichever one you might be referring to - is some easily debunked canard, you are quite at liberty to debunk it. Consider it a opportunity to deprogram an Obamabot for the advancement of Senator Clinton's agenda. If you're too wearied by the battle to manage that, you'll be better served by ignoring me or banning me. Your substance-free dismissals of my points - married to an unwarranted impugning of my motives - don't do your site or your candidate any favors.

Rest up. It's a long way to the Convention.
