Of late I have turned into one mean bastard online. I don’t take the usual amount of prodding I once did because I have been attacked in various ways, for too many years, since putting up the Anvil. My patience has run thin.
I would like to thank the hate mail tossers that keep me entertained. They also make me utterly aware of the deficiencies of the average follower of Islam. It is this sort of ignorant bile that I would love to see cured from the minds of people all across the world at some point, but wishful thinking, right? Mankind has been and will always be plagued by people that wish to control others through the use of dogma and mysticism and hypocrisy and lies.
My friends, I am alive and well. However, the Anvil has been the victim of a barrage of hacking since March and I have reached a point where I do not know if I will be able to contend with it for much longer. Bots are automatically sniffing my site and looking for any vulnerabilities 24/7. The ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ article was yet another instance of hacking — this time not bringing down my databases, but somehow inserting code that managed to close comments and remove the body of text from the article itself.
I was just brewing my coffee and decided to turn on FOX & Friends. Geraldo Rivera was on promoting his new book. Then the talk turned quickly to immigration. I couldn’t help but notice that, as has become all too-frequent, the phrase “illegal immigration” was not in use. Disturbing.
More disturbing though was the attitude of Geraldo Rivera, an attitude that I have witnessed several times on his part in recent memory. Geraldo, obviously an Hispanic-American, says that most Americans are “overreacting” to the “immigration problem.” This irritates me to no end. Overreacting? Geraldo you should be careful — your cultural-bias is showing like an old lady’s slip.
In January of 2007, I promised to give the Anvil more fuel than I had ever fed it before. I know that I have been true to my word in that regard. However, I also said that by December I would have some tough choices to make based on the success of this project. The Anvil has been more successful than I honestly anticipated; it has proven beyond a doubt that one man or woman can still make a difference in this confused and crazy world. Yet, I can not honestly say that it has been enough for me.

OK, I’m going to put this very plainly this afternoon for everyone that reads the Anvil, but mostly for a tiny few commenters that in recent weeks have spun more and more out of control.
If you come here and curse like you are in a sports locker room or the local pool hall, I will immediately delete your post. Your time will be wasted and I will not blink an eye.

Always on Watch alerted me to GM Roper’s blog being hacked by yet another disgruntled member of the ‘Religion of Peace’, just a day ago.
Part of a statement to the hacker from GM’s Corner:
There is nothing more juvenile, childish and more stupid than a moron who hacks a blogsite just to prove he can. A little while ago that was me, hacked by one Abu Jneya which I have on good authority translates into “Pork Lover,” well, maybe that is not an exact translation.

I’m being pressed, pestered and bothered; a long few weeks of dealing with the results of censors and attempts to destroy the traffic flow to the Anvil. And still I am winning.
However, I am definitely being distracted by this useless waste of my energies.
It doesn’t look like such attempts are going to end anytime soon either. Today I noticed that my most harmless web presence of all, my music profile on MySpace, has been mysteriously deleted without warning. I just sent an inquiry to MySpace.
