SOLD OUT!!! Today's soup of the day is Troll Stew (Now extended to the weekend!)

John has left a new comment on your post "Update on the 90A": 

Long time reader/first time caller etc ... 

Okay, I've held my tongue but I have to say. I know comments are moderated but doesn't anyone else feel the perception or tone is skewed because CJ has ultimate say on what gets through her filters?

I know you talk about trolls and hate mail CJ but honestly, no one else has been negative about how you handled this situation. I feel you handled it splendidly and fairly but I really would like to hear the objections. I don't care about the count. Let them through.

For today and the rest of the weekend, I've disabled comment moderation so y'all can get a taste of what I deal with and why I moderate comments. I've already let several through on the post mentioned above. And when comment moderation is turned off, CAPTCHA is automatically turned on so you'll have to prove you're a person. I can't help that. Blame Google.

 Commenting is now closed on this post.

    ya let's see how quickly this descends into off-topic flaming about cars, home prices, poor people, white trash, etc., etc.
    Every website allowing user comments require moderation and it is the moderator's prerogative what gets published.

    It is criticism of a transit system and some of the behaviour of those who use it. It's not bullying to point out when people or businesses are being dumb.
    Guessing 'anon' and 'rachel' had their dumb behaviour pointed out previously?

    This is such a bizarre social experiment. I can't believe there are people who actually take the time to sit at a computer to just write nasty things over and over. How sad.

    I am taking it all in stride. Apparently I have struck a nerve! Woohoo!

    CJ knows who I am. If she didn't want to post my comments or doesn't approve of them, she doesn't have to post them or she can call me out on them.

    For your information fuck face, I don't act like an ass on the train but picking on people isn't funny. She's gotten away with it for too long and when people call her out for it, she uses her cats to hide her meaness. I mean really? She uses cats to deflect the fact that she's really ganging up on people for expressing opinions they're entitled to. Then she gets all of sheep to also gang up on people. It's pathetic. It's like really low and dishurring. Even more stupid is that go employees play along. It's all fake.how we do know she's not making this shit up?

    What I find amusing is that people really do think CJ is the one commenting under different aliases. Happens every couple of years.

    And Rachel does have some major anger issues. Makes me think she was a target of the cattorneys.

    So much anger. Oh so much. I would be talking to a professional about that. And maybe your poor math skills.

    I counted less than 5 Anons (and Rachel) as haters. Fewer than I thought there would be. Definitely overwhelmed by supporters - real or imaginary.

    @ Rachel - calling somebody a "stupid fat bitch" is picking on people based on physical characteristics.

    CJ Picks on people's behaviour, not the way they look.

    But for some reason, you think what she is doing is horrible, but what you just said is perfectly acceptable.

    Big difference there sister.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!! The vulgar name calling is completely uncalled for!

    Calling someone out for putting their wet, dirty feet on the seats is okay. Calling someone a stupid fat bitch is NOT.

    When someone resorts to name calling and cussing, it's usually because they can't come up with a valid argument. Sad, really. Y'all probably should have joined the debate club in high school. Learned how to debate with civility.

    I cannot get over how much rage is out there directed at CJ. She does not deserve that. This site is to poke fun at the ridiculous we endure riding the Crazy Train.

    All you name callers. You okay with someone calling your daughter/sister/mother some of the names I've been reading? Think about that.

    I mean really, if you don't agree with the blog, why are you coming back to read it every day?! Makes no sense to me whatsoever.

      There are scripts I can write but I've tried in the past and it doesn't prevent abuse as people use mobiles, tablets as well as PCs so if you block one, they can get around using something else. I've had to outright delete some of the gross, vulgar and degrading; bordering on pornographic comments. I have to be mindful of the level of garbage people can spit out, only because they can.

    My faith in human stupidity is reaffirmed. Thanks Rachael your dimness in the matters of life is today's inspiration. Your lack of language skills, unawareness of what the internet is and your complete lack of social graces makes everyone else in here feel so much superior to a pathetic little trollerina like you.

    Thanks for making my day.

    Angry and spoiled entitled snots, why so mad? Yall need to lay off the TV and find whats really important in life. Yall bitching and complaining about a fucking blog. If yall don't like it start your own and be miserable on your own piece of cyberspace. You know how damaging salt is to leather? It fucking eats it. So get your bloody feet off the seats. People hitting on CJ who is married. I ainte no church boy but that shit is off the wall. Yeah moderation is off weeeeeeeeee. The trolls are just like the crackheads of Oshawa, don't know when to go away and do something constructive. At least crackheads try to make money anyway they can, trolls do and say retarded shit for free. What I am getting at is trolls are like crackheads minus the 40 stones lmao.
