Given a more thorough analysis of all SU folks with interesting things to say, a may very well have chosen to write about a woman. I did talk about TheNanny612 in this post, as well as Aivsdog in a previous post, so I know what you mean.

>>The cloak of Internet anonymity (or whats left of it) somehow gives people the impression that just because they have the ability to flame, they are somehow entitled to it.
Depends on the people; I’ve seen text boards in forced anonymous environments that are filled with normal non-insulting discussion. Though usually I see good amount of people with a razor-sharp wit like Travisy, which I consider a good thing. (´・ω・)つ(・(・

The cloak of Internet anonymity (or whats left of it) somehow gives people the impression that just because they have the ability to flame, they are somehow entitled to it.

Its the social equivalent of a person with a level 90 billion character saying “I pwn you n00b” to someone who really doesn’t set aside 40 hours a day to get to that point.

Granted, respect on digg or anything else is something to work for, and frankly, I don’t give a flip about what you tell me to consume. Golden Grahams is on the menu.

I’ll leave you and Dan to fighting it out. I’m tired too. Enough already.

Besides Dan. Eat shit, Dan, or something similar. I dunno, I’m tired, insult yourself for me.

And sure, plenty of folks would call him a “troll.” But he’s way smarter, way more talented, and way more literate than any troll I’ve ever seen, and he does the essential job of saying things nobody else is brave enough to say. He, and a small handful of other Stumblers like him, perform the essential task of being really good trolls, eloquently and acerbically dishing out caustic and brutally honest reviews, so that we at StumbleUpon don’t have to deal with an entire army of the worst kind of trolls. In other words, thanks to TravisKab, we have far fewer of the “u suk” and “die looser” trolls – we leave them all to Facebook and MySpace. You don’t have to love Travis, and you don’t have to love the carrion eaters, either, but the world would be an uglier, smellier, and more mindlessly filthy without them.

Unlike mere trolls, he’s an equal opportunity hater, regardless of race, color, creed, and especially gender: “I hate stupidity in all forms, whether its reproductive system is internal or external.” All too often, women online (and anyone claiming to be a woman) are treated with kid gloves, not expected to do much more than post glitter-graphics and banal personality tests. TravisKab blows that kind of weakness right out of the water, and holds everyone to the same contempt.

And besides, with the right mindset, and the due respect for proper vulgarity that any lover of the language should have, Travis’s reviews are some of the most enjoyable on SU. Who else could write, “About as much depth as a puddle of the pope’s semen, and probably doesn’t smell much better.” Poetry – and grammatically correct.
