Just don't respond to Tim. He nitpicks on purpose and uses a sea of information
that I share on the Web in order to find something that can be criticised.
Here is his favourite Web page:
http://diggcomments.headzoo.com/Default.aspx?user=schestowitz
He just sits there, admittedly modding down comments systematically
and 'corrects' me whenever I say something he disagree with. The tool above is
called "Comment Stalker" and Tim definitely uses it (it was only days ago that
a friend, msaleem, told me about this).
Let the trolls mod me down, post comments under new nyms (Gary Stewart has had
at least 4 Digg account terminated) and they cite some of these comments in
COLA as though they come from 'real' Diggers. They spread a lot of lies and
slander there. Tim and the Gand have become worse there than they are in COLA.
They found a new venue for trolling.
It would be best to just ignore them. Digg has blocklists, which are trickier
to use than *plonking* and then using KNode's viewing filters.
