Michael Crook, the troll to beat all trolls. You may have heard of his use of Craigslist to out people seeking sex. Or you may have stumbled across his rather ill-informed blog, where he goes on about how he revels in the deaths of American soldiers, among other things. Typical lifeless blogger stuff.
Normally, this wouldn’t warrant much attention at all, aside from the occasional snide comment you might wish to make on his blog just to see if he gets all pissy at you. Unfortunately, conservative bloggers like to reference him as evidence of the evil that is liberalism. They aren’t intelligent enough to grasp the idea that there are liberals and then there are crazy liberals. Crook falls squarely into the latter camp. He’s like the Alex Jones, only more inane. At least Alex Jones backs up his crackpot theories with fake evidence. Crook just rants about something and deletes all the comments people make about it. I mean, what other reason could there be that few of his articles have comments?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it yet again: don’t judge an entire group of people based on the crazy fringe members of that group. This applies in religion, politics, and even social cliques. Not all geeks play Dungeons and Dragons and are obsessed with Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini; remember that now.
