Comment stalkers. And robot defenders of man-caused global warming?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>As noted in <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/?p=5240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my prior post&#8217;s opening sentence<\/a>, I have comment stalkers who land at online article\/blog comment sections hurling personal attacks at me in response to whatever basic comment I&#8217;ve made on the global warming issue. One in particular follows me around to specifically respond by placing a link to Desmogblog&#8217;s worthless profile of me. Now, allow me to first demonstrate it in the following funny way <!--more-->with a pair of visuals (click to enlarge).<\/p>\n<p>First, at a Daily Caller piece&#8217;s heavily trafficked comment section (1500+ comments), a person attempted to suggest that I indiscriminately engaged in name calling:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DJ-CB-no-stalk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5283\" src=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DJ-CB-no-stalk-300x133.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"133\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DJ-CB-no-stalk-300x133.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DJ-CB-no-stalk-768x340.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DJ-CB-no-stalk-500x221.jpg 500w, http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DJ-CB-no-stalk.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not two days later, the very commenter who I said was a comment stalker of mine showed up out-of-the-blue at <a href=\"https:\/\/capitalresearch.org\/category\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a blog page collection<\/a> which has practically no commenters, with the following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CB-Cunud-stalk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5280\" src=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CB-Cunud-stalk-300x243.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CB-Cunud-stalk-300x243.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CB-Cunud-stalk-768x622.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CB-Cunud-stalk-370x300.jpg 370w, http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CB-Cunud-stalk.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And when you mouse-over the upvotes for my stalker (I had to take an actual photograph of my computer screen to show that), who is one of the individuals seen there? &#8220;Cunudiun&#8221;, the comment stalker I featured in my blog post <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/?p=2951\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There was more context to what the &#8220;Dave James&#8221; commenter was saying, but the key point is that I wasn&#8217;t tossing out an unsupportable label. The &#8220;CB&#8221; commenter is a stalker of mine, and it is altogether too easy to find additional instances of this happening, as in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesgmartin.center\/2017\/05\/tribal-politics-turning-us-science\/#comment-3300688769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this recent example<\/a>, where I was again simply making an observation about the unsupportability of a commonly repeated global warming issue talking point. To &#8220;CB&#8221;\u2019s credit there, he\/she didn&#8217;t link to Desmog&#8217;s profile of me. Not so at <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CB-out-of-blue.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this older example<\/a>, where I &#8211; <em>again<\/em> &#8211; just made an observation, albeit via a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/environment\/2015\/10\/justin-trudeau-canada-climate-change-keystone-pipeline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">directly quoted article headline<\/a> straight from the Mother Jones organization.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding that second photograph above, there&#8217;s something of an irony to the way commenter &#8220;cunudiun&#8221; upvoted &#8220;CB&#8221;\u2019s comment. As near as I can tell at the present time, &#8220;cunudiun&#8221; was one of the first to link to Desmog&#8217;s profile of me, as seen in a May 10, 2015 blog post, screencaptured <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Cunud-1st.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. Go straight to the comment at <a href=\"http:\/\/dialoguesonglobalwarming.blogspot.com\/2015\/05\/tom-harris-exposed.html#comment-2019120525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this link<\/a> and then mouse-over the upvotes. <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CBupvotes.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">There&#8217;s &#8220;CB&#8221;<\/a>. (There&#8217;s also more to <em>that<\/em> particular &#8220;Dialogs on Global Warming&#8221; blog situation, which I detailed in the 8\/13\/15 update at my post <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/?p=2792\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>However, there are two more elemental details to this &#8220;CB&#8221; commenter that beg for further inquiry:<\/p>\n<p>First, what caught my initial attention about this person was not his\/her growing number of repetitions of linking to Desmog&#8217;s profile of me, but rather it was how I ran across more than one of his\/her repeated questions, as in this example <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CBs-regurg-line.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>, which I noted <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CB-a-bot.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">further down<\/a> in the comments at that 2015 piece. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webhp?tbm=#q=%22CO%E2%82%82+so+high%22&amp;tbs=cdr:1,cd_min:8\/1\/2014,cd_max:8\/1\/2015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google search results<\/a> showed a significant number of repetitions, which is why I wondered if the person was not actually a robot computer comment-generating program.<\/p>\n<p>The second elemental detail here is something I noticed only just very recently &#8211; in looking at this person&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/disqus.com\/by\/CBlargh00\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">commenting history<\/a> (the quantity increases daily), as of <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/CB-Disqus-hist.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this time of writing<\/a>, he\/she\/it has 31,856 comments posted since joining the Disqus system on 8\/2\/2014. If you do the math via a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeanddate.com\/date\/workdays.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">business days counter<\/a> of regular five days per workweek, that ends up to be 31,856 divided by 708 days, which equals a rounded up figure of 45 comments per day. Figure 8 hours per day, and that ends up being a bit over 5 and a half comments per hour, or <strong><em>one just short of every 11 minutes<\/em><\/strong>. For comparison, do the same calculations for my commenting history to date, and you end up with a figure of around 1 and a half comments <em>per day<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Then I happened to notice the comment count of another of my comment stalkers who is routinely seen in close conjunction with &#8220;CB&#8221;, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/disqus.com\/by\/disqus_QOcJ4Yma9K\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert<\/a>,&#8221; who joined Disqus only two weeks after &#8220;CB.&#8221;\u00a0 Put that person&#8217;s 22,354 comments into a workday calculator and you get 32 comments per day, 4 per hour, one every 15 minutes. And there&#8217;s commenter &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/disqus.com\/by\/disqus_Jcu89NMxfe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jmac<\/a>&#8221; with his 19 comments per day history who <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/jmac-hurls.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hurls ad hominem attack against me<\/a>. Go directly to his comment and mouse-over his upvoters and <a href=\"http:\/\/gelbspanfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/jmacupvotes.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">who do you see<\/a>? &#8220;CB&#8221;, &#8220;Robert&#8221; and &#8220;cunudiun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We have one of two things here. Professional commenters paid to toe the &#8216;man-caused global warming line&#8217; or robot computer programs designed to throw off amateur critic commenters or to spread misinformation and lies about people like me.<\/p>\n<p>If the collective idea that the science supporting man-caused global warming is so solid, why would anybody even think up the idea of having either paid professional commenters or robot program commenters?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As noted in my prior post&#8217;s opening sentence, I have comment stalkers who land at online article\/blog comment sections hurling personal attacks at me in response to whatever basic comment I&#8217;ve made on the global warming issue.
