Huh?

[donutsweeper]

Apparently someone has been leaving drive-by comments all over LJ that just say:

very interesting, but I don't agree with you
Idetrorce

I got one on a link at ds_noticeboard 

Why would anyone bother to do this?  (I'm not upset about it, just confused)

A very genteel troll that has the urge to spam but is compulsively polite?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

lol, good answer!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Best. Answer. Ever.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

True! If only more troll had that person's sense of decorum!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Hee! Yeah. Seems to have hit a wide variety of forums (fora?) if you google the username...

[leeson.livejournal.com]

Oh, Idetrorce is all over the 'net. People still haven't figured if it's a real person or a bot.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

seriously? But, why? What's the point?

[leeson.livejournal.com]

I don't know. it's a mystery. Internet fame? Boredom? A code gone rogue? Who knows? lol.

A sad Herbert with nothing more worth doing with their time, and an overwhelming compulsion to disagree with as many people as possible in one day?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

OMG icon love!!!

You're probably right though

Just found your post, and that makes me suspect it's a spam-bot because you didn't express an opinion to disagree with... but doesn't LJ have that typey-wordy mechanism to prevent spambots?

*Should really go to bed*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

good point- the post was just announcing a fic, there WAS nothing to disagree with

*bed is good, it must be terribly late for you!*

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Half two! I have had blue food colouring.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

errr... what does blue food coloring have to do with bed?

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

someone is testing a bot.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

probably right, but who knows what they are testing it for?

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

testing the security/permeability of the 'net? We are at war and the 'net is one of the battlefields.

[eumenidis.livejournal.com]

Ah. The invisible worm that flies at night.

Some people have too much time on their hands.

Remember the good old days, when virus' happened to other people and did silly, funny things like filling your screen with Red Dwarf quotes?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I don't think I'd mind a virus like that!!! "waiter there is a fish in my trousers, please fetch me a spade..."

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

*snicker*

"Fetch the porter, there's a frog in my bidet" was always one of my favourites. *grin*

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

And this is where I have to add "Smoke me a Kipper, I'll be back for Breakfast" as I should be off to bed too.

So long Ace Rimmer!
