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!

[leeson.livejournal.com]

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

[amythest-n-ice.livejournal.com]

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]

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

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

Best. Answer. Ever.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

OMG icon love!!!

You're probably right though

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

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

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

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

which makes me go back to wondering WHY anyone would bother to do this....

[amythest-n-ice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did that and found them on the apneasupport website. Seriously, this dude/dudette/robot needs their circuits adjusting.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

At least they are polite about it....

[leeson.livejournal.com]

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

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

I'm thinking 'bot, but that still leaves the question of why you'd make a 'bot to do this.

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

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]

some people have WAY to much time on their hands?

[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!*

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

I think that's a good bet.

[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?

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

It's hyper-inducing and prevents me from sleeping thus explaining why I am, in fact, not in bed.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

aha... sorry. no blue frosted sugar-bombs in your future then (obscure Calvin and Hobbes reference, sorry)

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

someone is testing a bot.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

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