A commenter gone wild.

Big_mouth After I posted about some ageist comments I found on  a few sites last week, one of the ageist bloggers took offense to my statement of facts.  She was civil enough with her comments but some disturbed (to put it mildly) reader of hers calling himself Micky (Mouse?) left such a diatribe of profane comments trying to prove that I was wrong and that he was a tough guy, that I blocked him and deleted some of his posts.  So he decided to use her site as a ranting point where he called me a "self-centered narcissistic prick" and said he wanted my "head on a platter, with my balls hanging out of my mouth" (he must be missing the Sopranos.)  He also called me a moonbat  and goes on to liken me to a terrorist .  Well, perhaps I was a little rough on him in my comments but he really was such easy pickings and begging for it.  Oh yeah, he showed his own ageist prejudices when he suggested that I blog about "Roid treatments, Discounts for seniors at Dennys all you can eat buffet and Looking for a strong bone like Sally Fields ?"  Charming chap!! 

His IP address has accessed this blog over 100 times in the last 4 days.  Maybe deep down he is just enamored with my sultry prose.  However, I have given my wife that IP address just in case she wakes up like Woltz did in the Godfather only instead of a horse's head, she finds my head on a platter with..... well, you know....

I almost hate to mention such a fine lady in the same post, but Shelly over at This Eclectic Life has some more interesting views on ageism.

My goodness, isn't Micky the little fellow who told you "Seems like someone here has a little too much time on their hands and just cant find quite enough to complain about"? It looks like he has some time on his hands, too. And now, you stinker, you sic 'em on me! LOL. Oh well. I have a delete button, too.
