"Over on Olyblog Laurian insists that she's a woman. Her middle name's Martin. The reporter apparently believes Laurian to be Male. Others on Olyblog have made the same assumption. Oh well, you know how it is with some Tranny's in Olympia. Laurian is 48 - no wonder s/he hates music, s/he's gotten old. CCM Fan | 04.08.08 - 12:46 pm | #"

Anybody know who the aurthor might be? I sure would like to threaten the them with a suit or challenge them to a duel.

Sir, I say Sir, those are fighting words.

Ya know, as bad and crazy as the debate can get around here, we are Angels compared to the mouth breeders lurking around the Zip.

Man, I sure miss the Olympian Comments

Ya old tranny, you! If it's who I think it is, s/he's an Olyblog regular.

EDIT: I checked the Oly Comments and I see the "Real CCM" fan issued a disclaimer.  So nevermind, it's not one of our own.  I have no idea who the slandering ccm is.

This one time only I

This one time only I referred to myself there as The Real CCM Fan - I ran into trouble with people posing under variants of my name when I used my real name in the comments, and then later when I switched to CCM Fan there would still be times when someone else posted crap under that name. Pretty much the reason why I rarely even glance in the Haloscan anymore.

I understand many versions of Larry still posts there.

[EDIT: If there's any dueling I want in on the action. To pick at an old scab, I'm surprised - based on what CCM stands for - that nobody's claimed to be "CCM Fan's" Christian Caregiver.

[Edit Again: Wonderful comeback, Mr. Anon! And you're right, at Olyblog's worst we're miles above the bottom-feeders and tapeworms of that other place.]

Hell, Merwyn

There are versions of me on there that I didn't even know was me.

Kinda like the ballgame.  You can't tell a player without a scorecard.  Damn, I'm showing my age again.

Same problem here...

...that's why I'm the Original. Alot of copycats over there.

In a way, we could take

In a way, we could take solace in the fact that we meant so much to the copycatter that we were worth their time and effort to emulate us. Our existence enriched their lives.

Yeah...

...in a way.

What does CCM stand for?

Contemporary Christian Music.

It is so true that things are better here

I don't think the Olympian really has the best interests of the community in mind in maintaining that ridiculous comments section the way it is. It's supposed to be moderated, but I don't see much moderation actually occurring.

For Real!

I thought about going through the archives and collecting some of the worst comments into an archive, but where do you start? I still feel sick to my stomach when I think about the comments from when tent city was downtown. I actually had nightmares about them. Thats real hate on those boards, and it freaks me out.

The comments when an

The comments when an Evergreen student was raped in her dorm a few months ago, and the comments a couple weeks ago when those men were murdered in the woods, bring a whole new meaning to the word "disgusting"
