Gribbit Gets Even Weirder

It is perhaps pointless to give this guy so much attention, but this just keeps getting weirder and weirder. In addition to his various threats that he'll "get" people, Gribbit has now posted all of the web hosting information for the blog Thinking Meat. Why? I have no idea. Perhaps he's hoping one of his (few) readers is going to call up the hosting service and say....well, what? "This guy has been saying mean things about someone else, make him stop"? For a guy who claims to be so courageous, he sure is thin-skinned and whiny. If you dare to tell him he's wrong - and even worse, if you document it and prove him wrong - he claims to be "under attack" and responds with insults and threats, while simultaneously criticizing his tormenters for lack of courage. Clearly, someone with far more testosterone than IQ.

Okay, enough of being nice and civil in order to give Gribbit a chance to do the right thing and just admit he was wrong about the ACLU, the Equal Access Act and the Good News Club case. I think this post makes it crystal clear that this guy is just an irrational loony who wouldn't know the truth…

So my fellow SBer PZ is in all sorts of hot water with Catholics over a blog post. I didn't really want to poke my nose into this, but there's been so much noise about it, that it's really unavoidable. But I think I've got a rather different opinion on this than most bloggers I've seen so far.…

Doesn't that describe much of the right wing so-called pundits?

It's almost like he thinks that finding the whois info for someone's website is some sort of super sleuth technique.

I can almost see him in his basement sweating all the negative attention he's getting and plotting his next dastardly move.

What next? Is he going to tell us that PZ has some weird fascination with cephalopods?

The last line in your post reminded me of a wonderful book of essays by Robert Sapolsky, The Trouble With Testosterone. I would advise everybody here to stop reading Gribbit's insane posts and start reading Sapolsky's book. It's fun, educational, and you won't feel like blinding yourself with a salad fork to escape the lunacy after reading it.

I registered partly to tell you I enjoy your posts about this guy, they're funny as hell. I love the picture on the side that says "This site PRAYS for our troops". That's obviously all people like this guy do since doing something to actually support the troops (or God forbid enlisting) would be too hard.

Funny too is the fact that he berates his readers as being cowardly, but has his domain registration through a proxy.

To be fair, Gribbit did serve in the military and was stationed in Korea for a time.

Please tell me he wasn't at Kunsan. I'd hate to think I might have been at the same base as someone who hates our freedom so much.

You wait ofr the moral high-ground he'll think he has for travelling for a fight. He might get brave enough to open his comments again...
