On the Relationship Between Bloggers and Trolls
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

Personally, I could not believe the venom coming from some of the bloggers at first. Or they way they gang-up and attack.
People like to say they're for freedom of speech and all, but they really don't like it when you disagree with them!
And I agree with your quote too.
Live on your feet or die on your knees. (however that goes)
or like Bob Marley says..."Get Up Stand Up!"
"so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Please tell us of your military career. Thanks.
The rest is classified. Take a hike.
Both Nam and Iraq were supported by both sides of the aisle til there were problems. Then folks started jumping ship. Like long haired rats from a sinking boat.
It is not for me to suggest what is noble. Just to do what my country asks to the best of my ability.
Trying to out quote Neddy puts you right in their camp. No original thought?
Please bring a towel for your sitdown. Ned can do a caricature of CCToday's finest.
You just saying that because you one of those crazy vets still wishing you had a loaded gun that somehow could knock off a few bloggers on this site electronically.
I know yer just trying to crank it up a notch!
Besides, I would be scared *hitless that cru would drop her towel.
P.s. Just noticed the hair on Nedskie!... OMG - Not that I am jealous but isn't the Arlo/Alices Restaurant look ~dated~?

Where is Dali when we need him?
I'm just a hairy guy.
I'm hairy noon and night...
Hair that's a fright!
I'm hairy high and low...
Don't ask me why.
Don't know...
It's not for lack of break/
Like the Grateful Dead (ahhhh)
Darling.
Gimme head with hair...
Long beautiful hair...
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen.
Give me down to there / hair...
Shoulder length or longer...
Here baby, there mama...
Everywhere daddy daddy!
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it...
Long as God can grow it...
My hair!!!
What the frig is your problem? Neddy and I are just good friends. Not that it's any of your damn business. If you're that damn curious, jump in the truck with Mav and possee and come to Boston for steaks... If they can tolerate you maybe I can. Stop with the BS already.
I have to tell you I don't eat in those cheap joints so if my company blessed I expect some really good bloody Pittsburg prepared moo like...
I am not expecting anything real here because mav like most the rest are (cluck, cluck...) Chicken *hit; and NEVER EVER follow thru with invites/challanges/dares.
No BS here woman.
Not like I want to get paid professional.....right?
As mav would say:
hmmmmmmm...
Relax, it's saturday morning. Sooooo, I can come for steak now?
I can't deal with you two anymore. And don't ever refer to me as the "broad" again. Save that for the women at the local bar.
I can't deal with you two anymore. And don't ever refer to me as the "broad" again. Save that for the women at your local bars. I can't believe I finally caved in Mav. Sorry for the pressure sailor. I have a temper. You'll have to sit between us.
We don't need Mav or Possee, let's just have a nice juicy filet. I like mine with blue cheese and a portabella, medium rare...sweet potato, broccoli and a Grey Goose and tonic with a lime.
Dutch treat... I've heard how you like to eat.
I'm confused now... What's to settle?
Wasn't mav part n' parcel & looking for one of your first editions hot off of Nedski's press?
Nope... No complaints dear in the lay department. Hope that not a problem w/you still.
Speaking of Ned... He's a good egg I think & can dish it out with the best of us.
What "lies" do you speak of anyway?
You seem REALLY frustrated.
Were not for his scarey hair I might let him do mine for er posterities sake...
He gets a good trim & who know what might happen.
In the meantime, thanks for the tip on MFA...
Oooooeeee!
Do we all meet there first or will it be dessert after the Grille?
Lastly...
This "envy and displaced hostilities bit...
Not true!...
'Boys just want to have fun!'
Buzz... Got a tip from a booze salesman last summer. Said that Goose's sugar content is high in keeping with the US general tastes....
Note, when you keep it in the freezer (of course) Goose gets cloudy & that is what tells you it is sweeter & therefore you are more apt to feel it in the morn.
Lately, gins been my thing so no current recomendations on the better potatoe types.
Is this soriee going to be a toga nite?
We have built in flack jackets & are built for fire-power!
Yeah, I like it all that bony ass thing too: "Visions of sugar plums dancin' in my head."

I'd like to invite you along for a fabulous meal at the capital grille in burlington sometime if you are interested in meeting the boys. The guest list is mav possee myself and I'm breaking my own rule by giving in to buzz and adding smahPeck. Let us see if I'm calling their bluff. I'm a woman of my word. If I say I'm going, I'm there. Tired of debating with cyber ghosts. Rather have a sit down and hash it out. Are you up for it? I'd like another woman to bring perspective and balance. Who knows maybe hatchets could be buried.
Or might we have multiple tables. As in some on each side of the bistro.
Don't let this crowd get you down. They chased the "Magician" and his Sis back to "Deliverance" or Cambridge. Not sure where they went.
ps...I love bunnys. Have a yard full of them.
If I must tolerate that shrew buzz, you can handle peck. Neddy I hope will join us with his wit and unique intellect. We will have to stress civility and smiles in the face of disagreement. Come on Mav, don't let me down. You're the only one hedging. It's taken a lot to get me to allow that annoying windbag to join us. Must we wager? Whomever is a no show has to pay those who do a C note. Cash only! Okay? Put your money where your mouth is boys and let's see who the real men are.
don't judge me until you meet me. after that, fair game.
Either that or we start w/Mohitos in Cambridge which might not be a bad idea anyway...
Walter says you start to mumble after two.. Or was it Mambo?
Speaking of windbags... Should't we invite the blogfather?
Beleive me, he's more on your side than mine... These threats to boot me again if I don't watch my mouth.
Makes much more sense to do the Grill in Beantown... Agreed?
mav is playing you crus... He loves me & he knows that the wind farm will only serve to increase the amount of fishing in ACK Sound. Likes to play the old curmudgeon type. Don't be so cheap Jack & treat your bride to a Hotel for the nite in the big city.
My turn to be honest... Either Nedski gets a haircut or I can't sit within touching distance... Long hair on guys gives me the eege-bee-gees!
You are unfairly casting a negative light on me mav with 'Tarball the "Magician"...'
You know he was one sick dude & Wally ulitimately thankful we drove him nutso.
I haven't spoken to mav in a while..
I'll wait til he gives me a shout, so we can meet and ride up together!
Love to see you dig in on the recent state plans to raise all hell with gas taxes, toll increases, and the like..
Do an expose on Mass state legislators..
their corruption would make Cape Cod look like the boy scouts...
Could be a best seller!
Call Ned for the front cover graphics.
possee
Now it is strictly my "hunny bunny". My bride.
Cru...I am not sure your ready for this entourage. Let's invite Walter's buddy the magician for entertainment. Better yet Carl B. Freeman to sing songs about the "wind factory".
Now that I have lost my appetite we can bring in Nedi to do portraits at $5 apiece.
Where is Dali when we need him?
Walter knows nothing of my rare social drinking since the only times we met were at the red barn for breakfast after meeting at the office and when I gave him a decorative table top tree during the holiday. That was 05', many blogs ago. How large is this party going to get? Don't think Walter would mind. Or do you need permission? Are you afraid of what you can't handle without your editor? It makes no difference to me so long as there are only friendly attendees. If we keep it small, 7 max, we could talk openly without discomfort of those outside our daily posts. If it gets too complicated, mav, possee and bunny are it. There is always the spring boat cruise.
I'll await a tentative date to include bunny.
Possee,
I'm sure our discussions of the state will be of great interest. I know I will agree on most points if not all.
Enjoy what is good of the cape and ignore the rest. The stronghold must be the Mayflower bunch and their benefactors.
Towel talk & now nipple fetish... You going to scare mav off!
Silly wabbit is quite good especially over a campfire...
I don't really care if it is 4/5/6/7... Agreed it could get unwieldy with too many mouths... You decide.
Any case I think it would be fun & needless to say, we would all have to agree to honor the privacy & identity of each other going forward.
What's / where's your blog so I can email to confirm etc...
I'm getting tired of being so damn nice!
I identified myself from day one in the wind debates. And where to find me. No takers.
I will be glad to meet whomever, whenever. I can be very nice but am not sure this crowd will bring out the best in me.
Cru and I are on the same wavelength with no agenda other than the truth.
Those with an agenda violate the circle of truth I surround myself with. Enter at your own peril.
Simoneemerald@gmail. com
It should still be attached to my cru poster neddy made and avatar on my cctoday crusader blog. Whatever we discuss at the table stays at the table. That should go for all of us. Anyone who violates will be tar and feathered on Mavs boat. LoL. Just kidding mav, but you will be labeled a blogger snitch.
Good for you...
Us younger folks may not want to put our puss out there before we reach the ripe old age of 80 like you & have less to deal with as we a-g-e.
Bring your mouth & other weapons if you feel the need...
And stop sucking up to tha woman you want to see the towel drop you dirty old man!
Speaking of "circle of truth"... CAPE WIND!: Coming soon to a sound near you...
NANTUCKET SOUND!...
("Enter at your own peril.";~)
I'd join you but evenings in Burlington just don't work, what with all the kids' activities, etc. Thanks anyway.
I beg you to desist with your inflammatory rumors or we will force you to eat a burger from the childrens menu. Mav's dedication to his wife is read here almost daily. He loves his wife as he should and has no interest in my commissioned painting by Neddy. Do you understand privacy? That is a private matter and only wanted to share for Neddy's recognition. So drop it already. Also I'm not planning to contine more useless dialogue about the case. It's behind me. If something surfaces it's in a higher powers hands now. Let's keep it general and lighthearted.
If you are referencing crappie44 and gang of cyberstalking rogues, this is members only invite, just like her "I'm done" forum they dedicated to their relentless personal attacks on me. What are they bored and sent you to ruffle my feathers? Give them this message: I'M DONE! Get a life! Foff! Is that clear enough? Hope they are reading it lol, no guts to come on here so they sent you? Sorry you wasted your time and mine.
Aka cappie44, of cctimes forums. Claims to be a relative of towelman, slander should be her middle name. Most vile creature I had the most unpleasant experience of encountering on that forum. She claims to be admired by all posters, but many have spoken out or choosen to ignore except for like minded juvenile deliquent followers such as herself. Virtual freakshow of madness, worst than here. If you can believe that! LoL.
Take a peak my dear: MAV is guilty as charged. We all know it...
Not I, should be relegated to the youngstas menu indeed!...
I do take offence heretofore.
Consider it dropped towel & all...
Who the heck is cappie44?... Been known to rattle a few cages on the Times online rag but not come across this one... '"Virtual freakshow of madness" -No way Jose`!
Who cares?...
Whats the blogsite/email to confirm & git it dun already.
Do you suffer from ADD? I already posted my email. Get a damn pen, well you? simoneemerald@gmail.com
What are these lillies you mention repeatedly? What is their significance? If you grow up you won't get served ground beef. So please stay in line with the rest of us okay? Goodnight I have homework.
I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad, I got so sick of having sleepless nights; I went and told my dad.
He said, 'Son now here's some little something'... And stuck them on my wall.
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all.
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful...
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night.
Pitcures of Lily solved my childhood problems.
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright.
Pictures of Lily, Lily, oh Lily, Lily, oh Lily. Pictures of Lily.
And then one day things weren't quite so fine... I fell in love with Lily.
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, 'Son, now don't be silly'
'She's been dead since 1929'
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Lily's time
It would have been alright...
mav & pictures of crus aka 'Lily' - Came to mind.
Maybe if I hear the tune, I will recall it. By the Who? Pete Townsend, Roger Daughltry that Who? Is Lily made up or was she real? Leave mav alone and stop making things up. He is dedicated to his wife as he should be. I bet she's a love and I'm sure they compliment one another nicely.
Sure, sure mav is a fine chap & a good family type... At home.
Get him in front of a keyboard and he becomes...
An wild animial...
Out on a boat... Don't get in his way!
Overheard his nickname: ~The Shark~
I'll have to hear the tune. Love Suz Vega's "solitude stands in the doorway...." solitude standing...
Great tune, Smokey and haunting like Mazzy Star another favorite.
Any chance you can pull up the poster & download to your site?
I was simply commenting on the fact that you're using a public forum to invite specific people only to your soiree. It's kinda rude.
But whatever. Have a good time, kids, and keep the weapons safely locked up.
Peace.
Cappie and rogues alluded to similar gathering. I will not apoligize for the exclusionary intent but will only add that there are valid reasons for this decision. Maybe you should start your own gathering. There are too many who seek to exploit and humiliate others from various sites, I will never condone. This will be an evening of talk and great food anong bloggers who shared posts of common interests. No spies welcome. Too bad if they are bothered by it. People have a right to gather without interference from others.

TITLE: Marlene on the Wall
Lyrics and Chords
[Capo 2]
Even if I am in love with you
All this to say, what's it to you
Observe the blood, the rose tattoo
Of the fingerprints on me from you
/ E - / Esus4 - / F#m - / Asus2 - /
Other evidence has shown
That you and I are still alone
We skirt around the danger zone
And don't talk about it later
{Refrain}
Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every soldier passing
But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing
Marlene on the wall
/ 1st, 2nd, 3rd / GD DCmaj7 / D Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 /
Well, I walk to your house in the afternoon
By the butcher shop with the sawdust strewn
"Don't give away the goods too soon"
Is what she might have told me
And I tried so hard to resist
When you held me in your handsome fist
And reminded me of the night we kissed
And of why I should be leaving
{Refrain}
{Repeat first, second and fourth verses}
{As refrain}
Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every man who's been here
But the only one here now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing, changing, changing, changing, changing
{Refrain}
Moving forward, I posted my email to be used for meeting date and time discussions. My email can also be found on my blog. We should refrain from using the site to disscus details. It must be a distraction to others who wish to read blogs. Apologies. .
Have a good day. Off to enjoy the sunshine (finally).
We are planning a boat ride this spring. Maybe you would like to come along. simoneemerald@gmail.com
Neddy can attest to my valid heightened vigilance. Cappie44 would derail all my posts with personal attacks. I don't know who she is, but if we met, it would be ugly. An Eastham fireman squatted my Brewster home after a series of poor decisions, splitup with Cape beau of 8 yrs, lots of upheaval. I'm okay now. That's life as Frankie would say. Take care.
LOL....be nice, you two egging each other on isn't helping our group efforts.
We tentatively planned postponing past summer's boat ride to late Spring 09',if mav is still game.
Can you post a photo/ poster and maybe a brief blog of LILY? Really like to see her. Would be of interest to us.
By the way, Ned: Isn't it too late to fall in love with Sharon Tate?
Cru...I agree with somebunny. Move on. This crowd is here for entertainment at your expense. Anyone who tries to express an honest opinion is villefied.
Stay in touch, love you, and have a great day.
It's too late
To fall in love with Sharon Tate
But it's too soon
To ask me for the words I want carved on my tomb
So I think it's time that you all start
To think about gettin' by
But what about that need to go out and find somebody to love
It's too late
There's no one left that I even wanna imitate
You see, you just don't know
I'm here to give you my heart
And you want some fashion show
But it ain't no contribution
To go and rely on an institution
To validate your chosen art
And sanction your boredom
And let you play out your part
It's too late
You know when they got nothin' to give
They only part their legs for what's negative
And they're so decadent . . .
Until their daddy's money from home's all spent
So I think it's time, 'cuz it's too easy
To rely on worshipping strangers and devils in bed,
Though they do get good drugs, and they do give good head
It's too late
You shoulda realized I was worth the wait....
A man had my woman and the blues had me
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Oh can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
I ain't no doctor but the doctor's son
Can't do the doctor till the doctor's done
Tell me how long
Must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
I got the hesitation stockings, the hesitation shoes
Oh my Lord I got the hesitation blues
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?"
I can has Tayt?
She slept with the Kennedy's?

Is this the Lily that Smahpeck was referring to? She also sings it in English, but I like it in German. Dear old dad taught me some German too, since he was raised there before Nazi Germany.
She was quite beautiful.

Nedi...let's start a new post about "who slept with who" on Cape Cod. I'm sure you could reach a thousand comments.
And you could name the post "blog chowder". You know, throw everything into the pot, and it tastes good.
You and "the magician" have a lot in common. Might that be "nothing".
I don't need any. Just a tired old dog that enjoys trolling. Some folks watch soaps. I fish offshore and troll at my leisure.
Have a good day.
Time out....found a tune I remembered as a flowergirl at my cousins wedding...sure was a favorite...add it to your list...sing it to you lovely wife...dad always sang it to mom...I remember it well.

Looks like fishing is over for the year.
Hey Possee,
Do you make ravioli from scratch? Having squash/marscipone rav's, w/nutmeg cream sauce, boiled chestnuts on the side. Nibbled on croccantini and Ponte Reyes blue. Panforte with tea, later. Polenta tomorrow. It's great with cacciatore! Maybe you should start a recipe blog.
Made them a few times a long way back..a lot of work!
If ever on Federal Hill go to Venda Ravioli..they make the best in R.I.
For the time involved, rather make Braciole..there's hundreds of recipes depending on which region you're from.
(Don't enjoy the Sicilian ones with raisins).
I'll see if Walter is open for a recipe/food story blog..not a bad idea!
Thanx

Could not find your post of yesterday insisting on "you bring clams, drinks come to the Cape and meet my friends from Chatham". Who are they, since those from the guest list, except for Ned do not live in Chatham. Maybe you know enough about me now. I have no desire to meet two faced backstabbers. If they are friends of healthy minds unattached to this site, I'm happy to meet them. If not, don't bother. There would surely be one ugly scene at the clambake. Someone would be wearing sour clam juice and it would go well with the rest of their stench. Let's just drop it, if you can't meet on terms mutually agreed upon. I know Possee, Peck, Bunny and I are definites. If you fear someone will be offended for non being included, say so and we will move away from this BS. I don't really care. I won't be played.
Have a great day.
Add me to your list..

So are you saying springtime? Pass along the dates and get emailing.
I've got great recipes of Northern Italy to share, homemade ravioli's included and risotto w/porcini mushrooms. I can still smell the musty drying mushrooms sliced and laying on screens all over the dinning room and kitchen after our trips to the woods of Concord for mushrooms. My dad loved the walks and finding prized mushrooms were his specialty. I even have an old photo of him in the local paper with one that was enormous. I hated mushrooms then, but love them now...but wicked expensive.
Time for another post. They shut down CM comments. bitter was trying to upstage you all by her lonesome.

Sound from Wind Turbines:
Noise is a Minor Problem Today
It is interesting to note that the sound emission levels for all new (Danish) turbine designs tend to cluster around the same values. This seems to indicate that the gains due to new designs of e.g. quieter rotor blade tips are spent in slightly increasing the tip speed (the wind speed measured at the tip of the rotor blade), and thus increasing the energy output from the machines.
In the guided tour section on Wind Turbine Design we have explained how turbines today are engineered to reduce sound emissions.
It thus appears that noise is not a major problem for the industry, given the distance to the closest neighbours (usually a minimum distance of about 7 rotor diameters or 300 m = 1000 ft. is observed).
The concepts of sound perception and measurement are not widely known in the public, but they are fairly easy to understand, once you get to grips with it. You can actually do the calculations yourself in a moment.
How she gonna slep at night Peck know'in those big blades are coming after her? What about the children?
Unknown
I stand corrected. As far as the lit'l buz (she ain't that little anymore) she likes Vieux Boulogne, keeps the vampires away.
She has no real reason to fear.
And if one or more should loosen up and cause something to break free and or catch on fire...
The D'alliance would be there already standing by 24/7 ready to save her & the rest of us from the big bad turbines.
You see, there actually will be jobs for the members of the cabal once the turbines start popping up all over the place...
I can see them too out in their little S.O.S. boats standing guard with cameras, fire extinguishers & rocket propelled missles...
Perhaps, with Billy Delahunts help they can form an adjunct branch of the Coast Guard...
It's only mission to alert & protect us from the enevitable...
Explosions, gazillion gallon oil leaks, planes & birds stripped of their wings and the total destruction of the ferry & fishing fleets that will run into the monopiles the very first foggy day.
Ayeeeeeeee!

That article is unbelievable. Everyone here should read it. The line that got me the most..."Well, consider the alternative: 535 members of Congress have a lot of talent, but this is not one of them" Dodd referring to congress and their attachments of conditions. Remember, this bill went from a few pages to several hundred pages including promises and pork for congressman but they can't have the damn intelligence to make sure they know how the money is being used? Pitiful, they should all be fired.
Tis but a tip of the old iceberg..

don't stop there..... start at "a" and move to "z" alphabetically.
Who had any incentive to see or speak up that there was a looming problem out there?
it seems pretty much everybody had an incentive to talk up real estate and endless loan capacity.
govt officials, federal mortgage agencies, banks and mortgage lenders, rating agencies, realtors, appraisors, assessors, construction companies, etc. etc. and yes even borrowers and home owners wanted "the music to keep playing" so that they too could borrow, buy, and sell. And then lets do it again.....
Nobody was incented to take the punch bowl away from the party......
Is it me, or the fact that 2 politicians who got caught are black? Does someone want their seats that badly? There are crooked politicians everywhere. I'm not saying they should not be held accountable for their crimes, but they way they are portrayed, it's as though they invented the phenomenon "corruption"...such an ugly word, but looks like a suit most want to wear.

About This Blog
Ned Sonntag is an artist who lives and works on Cape Cod. His genre is nearly impossible to describe because it's "Sonntag-specific." It's a little like India or anchovies: you either love it or hate it. We love it. He has called himself a "Subculture-Pop Culture Crossover Cartoonist."
Ned will offer samples as often as the spirit moves him on these pages. His online gallery can be seen here, and he maintains additional art here, and you may send him an email.
