      <![CDATA[I read USSMariner and enjoy it, but I certainly wouldn't say Cameron is more deserving of a scholarship than say... someone who expends a huge amount of effort applying for a scholarship from Research Councils and private funding organisations. It's a nice baseball blog, but if Dave Cameron is one of the best thinkers you've ever read then you probably don't have a great exposure to great thinkers. Let's not forget that competing with academics is a slightly more difficult task than arguing against the ideas of Geoff Baker and Joe Morgan. If he's not as gifted academically as those people who do acquire college scholarships in his field then I can't see the justification for donating money to fund his studies.

      <![CDATA[Ahhh, feels good to have had a part in taking down both the USS Mariner, and Lookout Landing from one lonely little computer.  Just knowing that I could have riled up the tidal wave of the mighty KOS with a few little posts makes my heart go pitter patter.  Whats more, I could give a shit about KOS, or the dipshit that they promoted.  The Lookout Landing boys should know that they caused the loss, moreso than Dave's own site.  Jeff Sullivan put the nail in Camerons' coffin, shouldn't talk shit starting a local  blog war when stumping for votes, douchebag.   <br />
<br />
It was so easy to manipulate these guys into hanging themselves, but it was fucking beautiful.  Almost as pretty as watching them cry now.

Non, I rather think that Jonah's concept of trolling is asserting a virtually untenable position with one sentence and no supporting details, that is likely to piss off a majority of people. Sports are a waste of time, indeed.

      <![CDATA[Don't you guys see how essential professional sports is to civilization? Think about the humble advertisers, underpaid athletes, civic-minded team owners, and even brilliant bloggers who dedicate countless amounts of money, time and energy to this most noble of pursuits. And to those who complain about misuse of taxes and "corporate welfare", think about the children. Would you want them to grow up in a world without television-worthy stadiums or even decent teams to root for?

      <![CDATA["commie pinko political site"<br />
<br />
You are way out of line JSL and disregard a site that was a straight up game-changer (to use your sports lingo) in the "blogosphere", its importance in the Political process, and the relevance of your very own little Slog.<br />
<br />
Sports are an existential waste of time, and blogging about such only compounds its complete and utter lack of societal utility.
