When I received an anonymous comment submission saying that an obsessed blogger appeared to be up to his old tricks again, I was faced with a dilemma. Should I, or should I not, respond to his apparent 'insinuations' on one of his blogs about an unnamed 'someone' allegedly 'trolling' him, or just ignore it. I know from past experience who his usual nominee is, and I'll likely be damned either way whether I address the matter or not, so I decided to meet it head on.
However, I find it hard to garner the necessary energy or enthusiasm, so I'll content myself with a few brief observations. Portraying himself as some kind of persecuted martyr in the 'cause of comics' is perhaps this individual's way of feeling validated, but I wish he'd get some help with that as it's now become really quite tiresome. Maybe he thinks that if he suggests it loud enough and long enough, eventually everyone will believe it, and no doubt some will - and do.
I see on Twitter that he's already trying (clumsily) to preempt any possible suggestion he might be manufacturing this latest controversy himself, a notion which I suspect is unlikely to have occurred to him unless it were true. Or am I being too harsh and perhaps it's someone else who's stirring the pot? Maybe he's only trying to increase blog visits or punt something, but you'd think there's surely an easier way to do it? Now, if only I could rid myself of a nagging suspicion as to who submitted that anonymous comment.
Anyway, I'm off to turn my attention to more worthy and rewarding matters. If only he'd do the same.
