This isn't the first. His recent forays into commentary here include "racist children of Republicans are only labelled racist because their parents are racist, regardless of how racist they actually are", "you shouldn't paraphrase for emphasis while being clear that it's a paraphrase, because that might be confusing to the stupid", "the perception of Republicans as bigoted assholes is wrong even though the only exclusively-Republican positions are bigoted and assholey and also they emphasize those as the only reason to vote for them", "the Oxford Comma is the one true comma-delimiting element in a comma-delimited list"[1], "a cop shooting kittens with his sidearm in front of small children is just Job One for Real Po-Leese", and "Paula Deen's critics are a lynch mob of PC gone mad and WHITE people are the real victims of racism".
I still haven't banned him, because despite holding and expressing a great many ignorant, racist, and stupid opinions, he's been expressing them like something CLOSE TO an adult manner. See also the Tom Kratman[2] rule around these parts: "Being so obnoxious that you're disinvited to participate is a mark of *obnoxiousness*, and says nothing about the relative moral standing of banner and banned, or the correctness of what you were saying."
I'd link him to any number of the various LJ-killfiles, but houseboatonstyx is demonstrably fuckwitted. And I have no interest in seeing *if* I'm one of the people he's pre-emptively banned despite never having anything to say that might interest me, just to provide a comment on his journal.
[1]: Hey, he's not always wrong.
[2]: Hi Tom. Did I ping your Google rule again? My bad. Your Facebook is still banned, because you evidently can't play nice under your real name. If the sock puppet (of the kind you, historically, create whenever you're banned) is less of an asshole, it can stay.[3]
[3]: Hint: Your last sock here was "jim braiden". If that helps you find the login info, come and play. But I'm going to start by linking you back to the last time you gave up and saying "Hey, remember that time you gave up on defending the indefensible? Defend or admit you can't."
