Test Pattern

I’ve had it with blog trolls, hateful e-mails, and the general idiocy that seems to overwhelm otherwise normal people when they connect to the Internet.
I just don’t understand it. Where is your humanity? Do you treat people you see in real life the way you treat me? Do you go out of your way to insult and belittle people? Is your life so miserable, so empty and meaningless, your self-esteem so low that you need to attack me? Honestly, what have I ever done to you? Really. What have I ever done?
Dealing with this shit has become a huge and unecessary distraction, so WWDN will not be updated for the near future while I finish “Just A Geek” and take care of some other RL stuff.
I just . . . I just need a break. In the meantime, check out the archives. There’s some stuff in there that I’m really proud of.
. . . I’ll be enjoying Channel 2’s TEAM COVERAGE of STORMWATCH.
Heh.

  1. Don’t quit because of some lowlifes with nothing better to do than hassel people. If its any consolation within 3 generations their gene pool will be so dialuted through “brotherly and sisterly love” that the only trolling you’ll get will be a meaningless string of letters caused by a combination of eating and attempting to mate with their keyboards. Keep your chin up fella, rise above it.

  2. Wil,
    Please don’t let the bedwetters get you down. There will always be the emotionally arrested that try to make their tawdry lives seem better by attacking others. Understand that most of us appreciate your work and want to keep in touch in some small way. Work on your book and hang in there.

  3. Gosh…this is disappointing — the trolls I mean.
    Wil, you had a good-spirited, creative community going here. So sorry to hear it’s been spoiled. After reading a couple of the messages, I’m too afraid to leave my real email, in case I’m attacked as well.
    Sad.
    Happy and creative wishes to you and your family.

  4. Wil, I just wanted to add my name to the list of people who visit your blog every day — because we enjoy reading what you write — but who haven’t posted to let you know we were here, and having a good time.
    I hope that this isn’t a permanent goodbye … but if it is, thank you for everything you’ve written here!

  10. The post from CATCH AIDS YOU F*CKING FAGGOT illustrates what happens when people are deprived of an education and the fundamental guidance of parents with IQ’s over 20.

  11. Mob mentality…One flamer starts the fire, and then a few other gutless sheep join in. Humanity has zero to do with it. A detached, socially retarded individual seeking a cheap buzz by seeing his post on a respected and respectable site (like yours). Jon, do everyone a favor and unplug.

  12. Also a first timer here.
    No sweat man, take a break & come back fighting.
    The trolls are just bitter because their tiny penises are really sore from all the compulsive masturbation.

  13. I’ll miss your updates!! Good luck and creative thoughts to finish your great book!!:)…and I thnik you are not “Just a Geek”!;)

  15. Just be happy that the bastards waste more of their time writing that crap than you do deleting it. 🙂
    Seriously, you can control how you react to insulting material, putting the power back in your hands. You know it’s not worth your time, so shrug it off.
    Furthermore, you rock, so you have nothing to worry about.

  16. Wil,
    You rule the web!
    Most trolls are either little kids who like the chance to fight w/ no consequences, or adults who live pathetic lives and can’t get laid.
    They have no right to breathe the same air you do, much less be on your website.
    Best wishes for continued success in your career! JTM

  17. Wil-
    I enjoyed your humor and wit on the site. Sorry that the world feels that just because you’re in the entertainment biz that it means they can treat you like shit. Good luck with the book and hope to see you back here someday.

  18. man
    i’m so sorry.
    i never post, just read stuff.
    while it’s true i never liked Crusher,
    you rock.
    love your blog.
    bring it back soon.
    down with trolls.

  19. Wil
    Sorry to hear you are going offline for a while and I hate the reason why (some people are complete assholes). Please keep us posted on the release date of your book. I can’t wait to read it!
    Best of luck!

  23. I just want to say how funny it is that people say that “trolls are just a part of life on the internet, get over it!” The sad thing is that that doesn’t have to be so. It’s just a few children that ruin things. It’s a possibility that the world wouldn’t have to be filled with mean, horrible people who have to belittle others to make themselves feel good, unfortunately, it’s not a probability.
    However, there are small sections of the net (and many of us here know of one very close by) that are havens against hate and abuse, and we can hold those places close and make them examples as to what life can be without the people who are there to do nothing but hate and tear down. Trolls ARE a part of ‘net life right now, but we can fight against that behavior. Don’t just accept it!

  24. Sorry to say that I am just a lurker, I read all you have to offer and enjoy it, but usually do not post anything because of the lower 3% fill the net with grime, clogging the paths of education.(I know more about people and communucation since I started reading here)
    come back when you are ready… we will wait.

  26. Sigh, well… now I’m sad. This is the only blog I read. Whatever shall I do.
    Wil, don’t let the bastards get you down. I spent some time working as a moderator on the message boards on Excite (well, you know, before it went belly up) and, after having to deal with what I can only assume should be referred to as board trolls, had a really hard time relating to people after the experience. I learned there are more morons in the world who are willing to express their opinions than those with something to say. I will leave the question open as to what category I fit into ;).
    Anyway, have fun with Anne and the kiddos. Pet Ferris for us. Good luck on the book… can’t wait til it’s published!
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

  27. HI MY NAME IS JEFF I AM AN ADMIN AT FARK DOT COM AND I AM SOME LIFELESS LOSER WHO SPENDS HIS DAYS WORKING ON SOME LAME ASS WEBSITE! I ALSO SPEND MY DAY AVOIDING LEGIT QUESTIONS ABOUT FARK DOT COM AND I MAKE UP FOR MY LACK OF A MANHOOD BY BEING ALL TOUGH AND SHIT ON FARK DOT COM! PLEASE SUPPORT FARK DOT COM EVEN THOUGH DREW CURTIS SPENDS THE BEER MONEY ON TRIPS TO EUROPE AND CALIFORNIA! WAAAH! FARK DOT COM IS POOR AND WE DEMAND MONEY!
    *makes lame party analogy here*
    (Hi Jeff, hope you’re reading this. Allow me to tell you to fuck off, you insignificant piece of shit. Go back to eating your Doritos and syadmining Fark.)

  28. Well, that sucks.
    I’m another one of these readers-who-never-comment people. I’ve enjoyed your site over the past year and am sad to see it go. Good luck with the book!
    Oh, and for the record, I certainly hope you don’t “catch AIDS”. Hey, maybe he meant it for Wesley – I mean, Wesley was quite rude to Geordi on several occasions. I’m not aware of any hardcore Geordi-defenders taking over blogs, but you never know…
    FTB

  29. Fark said it all. “Asshats harass Wil, no more updates for awhile.”
    When you’re ready to deal with the asshats again, you’ll always have your loyal fanbase backing you up. ^_^

  32. You f*cking pansy ass. I used to think you were cool in “Stand By Me”, but as you grew up you just became more of a puss.
    You sucked on TNG, you suck on G4, is there anything you don’t suck at?
    Oh, wait a second, your .4 second cameo in Nemisis was pretty good.
    Ass.

  33. Wil,
    You’ve got to get some zen about the trolls, but I also second the notion of a “troll watch” so that those of us who would defend your honor can do so. Although it’d probably get you in trouble for doing unto others as they’ve actually done to you. Good luck with the book, and come back soon, please!

  35. The solution is simple; gather as much information you can about the trolls, and post it in your weblog.
    Your droves of loyal fans will take care of the bastards post-haste. =]

  36. HAHAHA I AM JEFF I GOT 824,000 PAGEVIEWS AND YET NOBODY WANTS TO BUY MY SHITTY ASS CRAP THAT WE SELL ON CAFEPRESS! EGADS, NOBODY WANTS CRAPPY THONGS! HERE COMES THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHMBULANCE!

  37. Not sure if I’m alone here… But I love boobies. They’re great. Such wonderful little sacks of fat.
    That is all.

  39. De-lurking to say, Wil, you rule.
    I have long admired your killer sense of humor and your deeper understanding of life.
    Jerks like that are JUST trying to get a rise out of you and push your buttons because you’ve become so well-loved by most of the Internet community. Ignore them! Easy to say, hard to do, I realize, but they don’t know you; they’ve never met you, they have no idea who you are as a person. So don’t take it personally… take a break for awhile, realize they’re just turds with warped moral perspectives on life, and go on being the hilarious and charming guy that you are. 🙂

  40. I hope finishing “Just a Geek” goes well, I’m looking forward to it! I hope you know that even though a lot of us don’t respond to your blog (like me, this is my first time) you have countless fans out there. It be a real treat to be able to meet and talk with you, and I don’t mean because you’re an great actor but becuase you’re a sweet, funny, handsome, down-to-earth guy.

  41. Wil,
    I hear ya on the trolls bit. And I don’t blame you at all for taking a break. Something about the unnecesary evil that they bring about can really get to a person. I’m a ‘troll hunter’ by hobby, trying to understand the menace. And one thing I’ve come to realize with all the trolls I’ve gone up agianst is that their choice of friction over function is a result of some deeper pains in their own life and this is the only place they can vent, make someone else feel as bad as they do. They’ll never admit it, but more often than not, it’s true. So you can deilght in the fact that you can just turn it off, and revel in the blessings you have away from the computer screen. You’ve got a lot going for you that you can be proud about, so like you’ve already stated, take a break and enjoy RL. We’ll still be here when you get back, minus a troll or two if I can get at some of these IP’s…
    First post, long time lurker. God bless, man.

  42. Hi Wil.
    Just been on the phone with Counsellor Troi. She says she feels you’ve been looking for an excuse to stop having to do the weblog every day. She says she’d noticed how you posted more and more rarely as time went on, so it was inevitable you’d find a good reason sooner or later.
    Don’t worry… “We’ve all been there”!! (P.S. Riker says you were really cool when you were younger.) Don’t stop…

  43. I will miss Wil.
    I’ll stay a One-assed monkey, you’ll always be the Silverback.
    Can’t wait for the book.
    Later,
    Dev.

  44. Hi Wil.
    Just been on the phone with Commander Shut the Fuck Up. He said he feels you’ve been a dickwad. He says he’d noticed you were being more and more of a dickwad as time went on, so it was inevitable you’d become one sooner or later.
    Don’t worry…”We’ve all been there.” P.S. Jordy says “Shut the fuck up dickwad!” Stop…

  46. Wil,
    When I first heard about the site I was curious. Then I got hooked. THen my friends got hooked. Then we all realized just how much like us you are (frightening or comforting depending on how you look at it). After that it was decided to make you an honorary member of Conrad Grebel College at the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada).
    I think we all understand why you are doing this even if we wish you wouldn’t. Either way we stand with you. Good luck with the book and I hope to see some new posts summarizing how you kicked some troll ass!
    Cheers Wil and all the best!

  47. Hey Wil,
    I first found this website from one of your apperances on The Screen Savers, and thought it was really cool. Your entire take on Windows/Linux, and how you switched over to Linux and what not let me know that i’m not the only one who does that/thinks that way. I tried to check/read your website every few days, but i’ve never posted a comment till now and just wanted to say Thanks for putting forth the time you did into this site, and even for posting that you wouldn’t be updating for awhile.
    Sorry some people just tend to be assclowns. I’m sure we’ll all be checking for future updates though. Goodluck with your book, I look forward to buying it and reading it when it’s due out.
    –Look at all these good comments? Quite a loyal following. Look forward to your return.

  48. You said it yourself: 50,000 Monkeys can’t be wrong. Let this sit around long enough and you’ll probably get 50K posts about how much we miss you.
    And even then it won’t outweight what some assholes will say.
    Have you ever thought about posting without allowing any feedback? We’d still be here. Or using some system where you have to e-mail in the comments, like a mailing list or something. With a valid e-mail address.
    Anyway, good luck with the book. Be sure to say something real nasty about the trolls in there where they can’t respond in any way. Hah Hah!

  49. Nobody can defeat the trolls! Keep talking, little people, for KING TROLL will live on! If not here, then surely at the Fucked Company messageboards. You think this is bad? FC is nothing but trolls!

  50. Well, the page got Farked, and that seemed to draw even more trolls in. Most of them have not read your site and have no clue who you are. If they did, I don’t think they’d be spamming you.
    It seems to me that the trolls when if you stop posting, and the other 99% of us who visit this site on a weekly or daily basis to see what you have to say are out of luck. Turn off the comments so you don’t have to put up with them. At least give us a glimpse into the life of Wil every once in a while.
