“you don’t think Pats a troll or trollette do you?”

Sure don’t. I was defending the hard work Wretchard put in to make a do-it-yourself filter capability. Within the last few years there were constant cries to “ban” this guy or that guy. I think W brought this capability forward as a value added to his fervent admirers without having to put himself in the “banning” business, which would suck. Like so many capabilities, it is a deterent to those who might otherwise may not be restrained, and plays to a future and not yet relized threat should DoS type counterblogging ever evolve. I wont install it until I get real good and pissed and that is going to take something for me, I can dish it out as well as anyone when motivated.
