What about Realtors Are Liars = Realtors Are Clowns = Dave in Seattle = Mark in SF = War = Darrel in Phoenix?
I've got to admit though, it is kind of fun to "egg him on."

I would be pissed to if someone was trying to turn my site into a Fox "news" propaganda mill. I think you said it well here:
I was just getting pissed at looking at my home page every day and seeing yet another poorly-reasoned anti-Obama post or just plain slander from one of the same 4 or 5 people. I'm not even an Obama fan, but I don't want those couple of hate-mongers to turn my site into the anti-Obama show.

None of them are banned, but I asked "Realtors Are Liars" to chill out, even though I agree with him in general.
Yes, it is true that War = Darrel in Phoenix. Realtors Are Liars posts from a different IP address.
None of the other names seem to exist anymore, but were not banned. People can change their usernames.
Could be. They might sometimes post from a different address, cafe or library or something.

I'll miss my morning laugh at ruki stupidity even if 90% of it was cut and paste fox news. Baiting him was like pulling wings off a fly, but I found it hard to resist the fun of it.
On the dark side I think ruki/shrek really believed in what he said (actually what fox/beck/am radio told him to think and say). I find it concerning there is such a large number of ruki types out there totally willing to be lead by charismatic exhortations without thinking or questioning. What happens when a malevolent power hungry political version of beck/rush comes along? Especially if the economy should turn really bad. I could picture the ruki types goose stepping all too easily.
I just keep the last known IP address in the users table. I'd have to dig into the web server log files to look for an overlap in addresses used, but that's work.
So you're probably right, but the proof is a pain to get.

Corn Pone Nazism is what James Howard Kunstler called it.
Today on Patrick.net, Shrek has once again been banished. We now go live to the scene where Shrek is being removed from the forum.

funny and scary.
I tried to be patient but even after many warnings I got up this morning to see yet one more inane anti-Obama image barely concealing Ruki's intense racism, so fuck that. I'm done with patience.
While I think that is is obviously legitimate and necessary to criticize politicans if one disagrees with their policies, I believe that a large degree of antipathy that is driven towards Barack is driven by race. It is almost as if his race and cultural background serves as oil in a frying pan to many of those who oppose him. I am confident that if Barack had a a background as a white liberal professor combined with his current record as president that the antipathy and contempt towards him would have been way less from his opponents.

I think that's true of the rank-n-file religious nuts in the Republican Party, but as for the people calling the shots in the Republican Party, I think Clinton disproves that theory.
The rich, powerful republicans just hate all democrats because they stand in the way of turning America into a two-class society: a ruling class and an economic slave class. These ruling members of the party wanted to impeach Clinton for any reason, a point made clear by the fact they that used a blow job as an excuse for trying to remove a president from office. That's basically a failed coup attempt without the violence.
Given all the shit that Clinton had to put up with, I'm sure there's a lot on non-race based hatred and lies in the Republican Party. Heck, just take a look at the postings of the right wingers on this site. They always talk about liberals as if we're trying to destroy America because we believe in Habeas Corpus.
Of course, the non-racist Republicans have no problem using racism to get the others to vote for them. But the bottom line is that you got two distinct kinds of Republicans who are only in the same party to defeat the opposition. One type wants to get rid of all non-whites from America. The other type wants to concentrate all wealth and power into an aristocracy. The only thing these two groups have in common is that they must defeat rational forces to win.
Having a black president is making a lot of people crazy. It manifests itself in the Birther movement.
I'm sure he'll be back before long. Some people never get the hint.

As soon as he figures out how to spoof his IP.

He is not Black. He is Mulatto or Bi-racial or mixed. His white mother and grandparents raised him and his father did not want to know him so he is more white than anything.

Pretty easy to do, but may get him in trouble if he tries to do this at work.

Which might make some folks even crazier. Can't mix the races!

I agree with your premise, but I think Clinton was an unusual case too. He was never considered "one-of-them", since he was poor, white trash, hillbilly. He also posed an existential threat to them with his DLC style.
That's why, not unlike the birther movement, he was subject to his own form of de-legitimizing, along with wild accusations about hookers, blow and the "murder" of Vince Foster.
A regular Democrat would have just been mocked incessantly a la Gore or Kerry. Nasty Lee Atwater style nonsense, to be sure, but not meant to question their "right" to be President, just their inability to be one as a (D).
He was never considered "one-of-them", since he was poor, white trash, hillbilly.
Um, isn't that the very definition of rank-and-file republican?

DLC? Is that some kind of sex thing? Oh yeah, we're talking about Clinton. Nevermind.
But I woulda clicked the "love" button only you don't have one!!!
Honey he's got a love button, you just have to look harder.
Speculation on my part, but the way Ruki was posting (volume, inane talking points) it really looked like he was one of those guys who gets paid to post on blogs and keep right leaning threads at the top. Saw an interview a year or so ago about a guy who just sat home and posted crap on blogs and was raking in enough $$ to live on. Kind of like this:
Patrick,
I mentioned in another discussion that what ever you do with
Patrick.net that someone would complain. Well here goes.
We want Ruki, We want Ruki. ROFLMAO

I find it difficult to believe anyone would pay for Shrek's posts.
Well there goes my chance to ask Ruki just what tbe $%&#$ his avitar was.
You can't really fault him though, he was only "obeying the tripods"

It was from a game just like his Shrek avatar.
There's a tineye.com plugin for Firefox that lets you right-click an image to do a reverse-image search. Or you can just copy-n-paste the image URL in the form on tineye.com.
Reminded me of something from a Demestos commercial:

If you have to look that hard it's probably not worth clicking on.

What about all the people turning trying to turn this into a CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Yahoo "news" liberal propaganda mill?

I have nuked the account of Ruki, who was previously nuked as Shrekgrinch. Can't remember if I deleted MarsAttacks.
Anyway, they were all the same person, which I could see from his IP address. Leo707 was right about that. Good call.

Good riddance to Ruki and all his ilk.
