I Also Wanted To Respond to Mr. Williams

I wanted to respond to Mr. "Cristan" Williams bit of drivel...  I mean, while he is welcome to come and comment here, his blog is heavily censored...  He posted a comment to Mr. Sandeen's post...

It’s a shame that JJ is content to spend so much time stalking and harassing people like the huge internet creep (with a misgendering fetish) she’s become. Had she instead applied that drive to actual research, she could have added to the world’s knowledge. Instead, she seems obsessed with negative attention and the price she’s paid is that her opinion doesn’t get to count… Which is a shame because it’s painfully obvious to practically everyone that she needs it to count so badly. She’s relegated herself to being a simple internet troll – something any child can do. She has a great command of the English language and she’s tenacious; she could have done something productive with that.

Well. let's see...  First off, I have to giggle at the childish way that Mr. Williams starts with name calling, but then tries to slide over to sounding almost reasonable...  I guess by "actual research" he means stuff like claiming that Janice Raymond, who is not a person I really like having to defend, actually caused the death pf 50,000 transsexuals.  Yeah, made up numbers like that, unsupported by evidence...is his idea of "solid research."  Of course, in the egotistical mind of Mr. Williams, anything that challenges his world view can simply be dismissed.  This is a man who lacks a shred of intellectual integrity.  I love how he tries, in a classic bit of verbal slight of hand, to simply dismiss what I say.  A bit of argumentum ad ignorantiam.  He just sort of asserts things without evidence as though they are fact.  Oh, I have no doubt that Mr. Williams desperately wants to believe that what I say doesn't matter, but if it didn't, he would not have wasted time trying to dismiss it.

Oh, and to repeat, I don't "misgender"... First off, there is no such word outside of the argot of the transgender subculture.  Secondly, if I honestly, sincerely believe that someone's "gender" that is the wiring of their brain, is male, I will call them male...and vice versa.  It is not based on whether or not I agree with their politics, but on how they actually come across.  It is simply absurd to demand that people suspend reality in order to comply with some imaginary standard of political correctness.  When you have a man, acting like a bad parody of a woman, but are forced by some imaginary social convention to refer to him as "her" and "she," something is wrong.  I simply refuse to play along and pander to deception or delusions because someone wants to "deconstruct gender."

For about 20 years now, she’s wasted her time targeting people who’re actually doing something…

 ROTFL!  Yes, actually doing something...wrong.  Another argumentum ad ignorantiam.  I hope to stop an effort to establish rights based on offensive and harmful behavior. A man wearing a dress might be offensive, but it is not harmful.  A man forcing his way into women's space and demanding the right to expose his penis, because it is really a "big 'ol clit" is offensive, and harmful.  You want to play dress up?  Fine.  You want to parade around naked in women's spaces, sorry, but well, there's an app for that...it's called pepper spray.

[I will be enjoying the fact that I got under Williams skin]

I will admit, I do enjoy taking down a pompous pseudo-intellectual fool.  And yes, the Internet is quite full of them...

She obviously feels good when she gets one of her targets to respond. I don’t think that she gets that most folk view her behavior as just being sad. How many hours has she spent over the past decade making herself into an irrelevant creepy troll?
When I or others respond, it’s because we all have within us the need to swat a fly. She’s mistaking annoyance with interest. That she’s so willingly traded her talents for such a pathetic substitution for interest and actual engagement is just… well, sad. When her name is mentioned on the internet, people just roll their eyes and shake their heads. I can hear her now telling herself that she doesn’t care what other people think while planning her next humdinger of a response thinking it will really put her target in their place.

 Actually, I feel good when I get someone to think.  People like Mr. Williams, are simply a source amusement.  As he leaps from argumentum ad hominem, to petitio principi (i.e. begging the question), to yet another non sequitur, followed by a some post hoc ergo propter hoc before throwing in a bit of bandwagoning (assuming everyone agrees), some card stacking (selective facts), before wrapping it all up in false generalizations, it is sort of like watching a cat chasing the dot from a laser pointer.  Amusing for a while, but you do kind of have a guilty laugh when they misjudge and wind up looking foolish...though they will always pretend they don't.

She doesn’t grasp that I feel sadness, not anger, when someone sends me a link to see what she’s up to. Such waste of talent and such a pale imitation of discourse. How many hours do you think she’s spent involved in her trolling drama? 100? 1000? 2000? More? How many words do you think she’s written while caught up in her drama over the past 10 or 15 years? How many books could that have been?
Such a pathetic damn waste.

Yes, such lofty words, but again, not at all backed up by facts.  Yes, Mr. Williams is so sad...  So, he resorts to an argumentum ad hominem to cheer himself up.  And when he imagines he has scored some point, his self-congratulatory "Booyah!" is just a desperate attempt to hide the heartbreak. All that desperate, win at all costs, intellectual dishonesty coupled with egotistical self-congratulatory aggrandizement merely masks the tears he sheds....

Some might actually believe him... Then again, some people think the earth is flat.  I may mock Mr. Williams, but I mock him with facts.  He mocks with innuendo and insults.  That says more than all his clever attempts to deceive.
