Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 28, 2013
Transcript:
Trff: No talk yet of a restoration. Duke: What a surprise. Earl: Good morning, men! Trff: I don't understand it... Earl: How're we all getting along? Duke: We're not! Trff: We are, but for a few cultural differences. For instance, I crave and miss the company of goats. Your father does not. We're something of an odd couple. Earl: He's a riot. Duke: No! We are in no sense a couple!

If PETA isn’t involved, they should be! Another strong argument in favor of condoms!

Just because he misses the company of goats, doesn’t mean he wants to have sex with them. Maybe he just wants to pet them or take them for a walk or talk to them. Maybe he misses the taste of fresh goat milk. Perverts, the lot of you!

I’m posting this here, because yesterday’s comments are already very lengthy.
Tea Party posts nonsense that’s completely unrelated to the strip, just to stir up arguments. He posts the same things over and over (almost all of which are BS). This behavior is the very definition of trolling and spamming.
In addition, his comment yesterday about his military service (something that I, as a 21-year military veteran myself, find disgusting when it’s used to try and give credence to hatred and lies) is identical to the claims about military service made by “GuardSGT”, a former member banned for just exactly this type of behavior. Several of us have said that Tea Party is actually GuardSGT posting under a different name – he does not deny it.
I’m flagging everything he posts (I’m sure he’ll whine that this makes me an enemy of freedom of speech, demonstrating once again his complete lack of comprehension of the concept) and I’m going to send a message to Gocomics about him (click on “Contact Us” under “HELP” at the bottom of the page if you want to join me).

What I just sent to Gocomics, so that “GuardSGT” AKA “TEA Party” can’t whimper that I’m talking about him behind his back:
I’m writing about a member who posts comments (mostly under the “Doonesbury” comic) under the name “TEA Party”. He is repeatedly posting comments that have nothing to do with the comic, and posting comments that have no purpose other than to stir up arguments. I believe that this fits the definition of “trolling”. He also posts the same comments over and over, which I believe fits the definition of “spamming”. He also has made numerous comments that lead me to conclude that he is actually the same person who posted under the name “GuardSGT”, who was banned for these very same behaviors. I have been flagging those of his comments that I believe violate the terms of service for this site. I enjoy Gocomics very much, and the comments sections are usually enjoyable and friendly. It’s a shame for someone like this to potentially drive people away from your site with their annoying and offensive behavior. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
