I would love to see the transcript of the chat session that led to this. Also he had a machete weilding friend come along? Hey Bill, some guy just told me to STFU on-line, grab your machete we've got some work to do. WTF posted by Mr_Zero at 9:20 AM on October 18, 2006

I asked Trotsky, but he didn't answer. I think there may have been something wrong with him. posted by languagehat at 9:30 AM on October 18, 2006 [1 favorite]
My (Muslim) other half has ventured into that chat room, "Islam 10" a few times for his own amusement. He says it's full of the same gang of loons posting "F*** all Muslims" and talking about moongods and the like over and over again. So I'm kinda doubting "both had an interest in the Muslim faith." posted by jamesonandwater at 9:30 AM on October 18, 2006
Attacking someone with a pickaxe handle? Just like arguing in chatrooms, that totally misses the point.
redacted: This is an ongoing argument, going back at least six months.
While I do hold myself to account, the blame here is not on me. While it is constructive to look within for the cause of one's problems, that is not always the actual source. It is only a useful self-help tool.
redacted and redacted have a personal grudge against me, and intentionally provoke me. Anyone else, I'll give at least three posts in a thread to form an opinion that I can respond to.
I have also been wrong in times past. redacted and redacted were not entirely irrational. I may have disagreed with them, but they were smart, and convinced me that they were smart. redacted and redacted, on the other hand, are just jackasses.
...
redacted: This whole train wreck, driver included, is not worth my time. I pay it mind because I'm bored.
What is worth noting is that the cocksuckers (or cocksucker) in Islam 10 BANNED ME over it. I wasn't even talking about this bullshit, but the fucker banned me. I wrote, "You believe I would have cut my right hand off, right?" (or something like that), and the mother fucker BANNED ME.
For the record, I bet my right hand against redacted's lies. Under any amount of torture, he will break first, because he is lying. If I break first, I will surrender my right hand.
I agreed to stop talking about redacted and his lies, though. I instead asked, "You believe I would surrender my right hand, right?" I WAS THEN BANNED.
Say what you will about chat rooms in general, but Islam 10 is definitely full of shit. Bunch of in-crowd mother fuckers, who have no use for reason whatsoever. The individuals among them, I will forgive, but as a whole I consider the venture a whole bunch of bullshit.
To all you fucking worthless pieces of shit in Islam 10: Ask yourself who went too far. You are not all worthless, but one of you has given you that reputation.
BUT... I have forgiven redacted, for at least the second time, and will stop bad-mouthing him. I just ask that he stops bad-mouthing me. posted by mr_crash_davis at 9:59 AM on October 18, 2006

Ohh, illovich your double made me so angry, to think, the contempt you show for us as a group by allowing your browser to glitch in such a way that we had to read your comment twice. You are a prime example of everything that is wrong with Metafilter and the web in general. I bet in your free time you step on bunnies and urinate on the homeless.
You are not just a fascist, you are a commie-fascist.

In May, after the first attempt on Trotsky's life, led by the painter Siqueiros, (Diego) Rivera thought it prudent to leave for San Francisco. After the second, and successful attempt, Kahlo, who had been a friend of Trotsky's assassin, was questioned by the police. She decided to leave Mexico for a while ... posted by R.

Trotsky's Icepick
posted by spicynuts at 9:49 AM PST on October 18
One of the great alternative bands of the 80's and 90's, by the way. They used to call the piercing noise from feedback a "trotsky icepick" (although as many on this thread have pointed out, it was actually an iceaxe, like mountaineers used). posted by UrineSoakedRube at 11:55 AM on October 18, 2006

This is why I like MetaFilter: I'm always learning new things. I had no doubt Trotsky was killed with an icepick until I read this post. Now I am faced with the task of vigorous introspection.

My favourite part of this whole thing was when I was reading the BBC's website about it yesterday. The guy "admitted unlawful wounding". I'm sure it's all boring and sensible legalese, but I love the idea of "lawful wounding" (or being wounded lawfully badly). posted by biscotti at 7:58 PM on October 18, 2006

If you don't think it's a big difference, just ask Trotsky.
