>Comment by Chuck Adkins on 5/21 @ 6:15 pm #
Left in my comment section of my Blog.
Chuckie, Dan Collins, Jeff Goldstein’s mini-me, is calling you a bad person. This is from a guy who stalks his exes on the internet, calls Glenn Greenwald a faggot, uses the word “nigromancy†as a clever allusion to Obama’s charm, and knows people in his grad school hated him because he wore a crucifix! Dear Lord, Adkins, what could you have done to be a worse person that Collins?Oh, yeah, defend Keith Olbermann’s obvious meaning from his special comment. If there’s one thing the Right hates it honesty.
PS Is it weird that a site dedicated to “intentionalism†is once again parsing an author’s words and telling him he doesn’t mean what he said he said? Or, is that just another reason to hold Collins in contempt?
It [sic] signed “Timâ€Â.
Interesting what you learn, when you own a blog. :)
– Sock puppetry is apparently alive and well on the intertubes…
– Good day to you Sir!
TIMMAH!!!
Timmah! is a pathetic little freak, isn’t he?
Well shoot, Dan, the moonbats don’t like you? I’d say you are doing something right then! My advice – open a nice scotch and toast your success!
– Maybe he would prefer jimcronancy?
– BTW – How would you know a ghey sock puppet? (….his banjo is pink?)
Now I’m definitely glad I turned down that invite from Chuck to Linkedin…
As for Timmy…how sad that he’s still lurking here, fuming over all the injustice. Sad in a funny way, I mean.
Heh. Heheheheh. Heh.
BWAH HA HA HAAaaaaaaa
Jeff, I suspect he’s doing more than lurking.
I’m glad you did that sic thing cause that was bugging me.
dedicated to intentionalism
Intentionalism?
Damn.
All this time I’ve been reading this site and moron-commenting here and I missed that part. Unintentionally, of course.
Pie!
Bam!
Hypocricy!
I agree with the comments here, but I still recommend scotch. In fact scotch is good for all that befalls you.
Headache – Scotch
Cold – Scotch
Stomachache – Scotch. Unless it was caused by scotch. In which case, Alka Selzer and then more scotch.
Broken bone – Seek medical attention and then scotch
Moonbats – Lots and lots of scotch
Unless you’re a total heathen; then you could substitute bourbon.
Just kidding about the heathen part. Now as far as vodka…
DENOUNCED!
Scotch and Cheetos…
“Dear Lord, Adkins, what could you have done to be a worse person that Collins?”
How about attacking a man’s dead wife? What a pathetic little shit timmah is. Fitting that Chuckie’s is the only blog that will have him.
Good God.
I thought we ran The Thing That Ate Cleveland off the IntarWebTubes.
Looks like I’m going to have to crack that bottle of single barrel bourbon a little earlier than planned.

As good an excuse as any, really…
That really should be MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann really. He’s a child and a choice.
– Feets….If you insist on posting that name could you at least give us a little warning so we can anert our eyes?
– Actual whenever it appears in text on my screen I feel an impulse to break out the Lysol and start spraying the monitor down.
*snort*
should I be worried about the man-crush he seems to have on my husband?
Oh. I only see him sometimes on the YouTube. It always sounds like parody when I click on those.
maggie your link didn’t work for me
aw nuts. I don’t think I can get it to work…. comment here seems he always does that after he’s mentioned. and it’s always dis and accuse of sockpuppeting. *yawn*
Cheezit, maggie. Talk about unrequited love.
I found it. I don’t get how you can link that either.
Tim is not talented at playing sonic-drive-thru wife.
but dopey blue coconut slushie guy? he was born for the part!
I don’t need to remind you guys that Chuckie is from … Detroit. Another strike against us.
WILL OUR MISERY NEVER END?
You have used the word “nigromancy”? Is that some sort of fetish for dead black hookers? Nevermind. I don’t want to know.
It means “black magic”.
And it *is* a real word for the dark arts, if you wondered.
That Collins fella is an erudite muthafucka.
I never actually bothered to find out what Keith Olbermann said in the first place. All those Worst Person in the World thingies just blur together.
I never actually bothered to find out what Keith Olbermann said in the first place
And you are a better person for not having done so.
The word is “necromancy”.
nope not so much.
John Doyle is not a reader?
John Doyle is not sentient.
I went and looked at the wiki entry and I felt all racist after. But in a good way.
Dan, you have in effect allowed timmah! to comment here once more, in clear circumvention of his banning. I therefore DENOUNCE YOU!
Sorry, Mr. Slartibartfast, I am not this person you disdain. I am apparently a different person, who I’m sure you disdain.
Maggie, wikipedia is not actually a source of anything, but as it gives reference to the word from medieval sources, and neither dictionary.com nor the Oxford dictionary online has a reference to it, I submit this Timmah was right — Dan was being too cute by half and used a word he found in Milton or Dante.
Which is a bit like me approaching an African-American and calling people the names I found in Tom Sawyer. Then I could explain that words change meaning over time and you can’t screw with the classics.
Oh, well, I imagine this is falling on deaf ears. When a group of people is bound and determined to remain ignorant, Wikipedia can be their guide.
…unhijacked by inaccurate non sequitur…
Fixed that for you.
Eh, WTF?
#41, I feel that’s rather niggardly of you.
neither dictionary.com nor the Oxford dictionary online has a reference to it
Liar.
Directly from the OED:
nigromancy, n.
[
Hmm… ate the cite. Let’s try this again:
nigromancy, n.
[-Norman nigremancie, nigromancie (end of the 13th cent.) and Middle French nigromancie, nygromancie (1378), négromancie (1572), alteration (with substitution of suffix -ie -Y suffix3) of nigromance NIGROMANCE n., prob. after post-classical Latin nigromantia (see NIGROMANCE n.). Cf. Old Occitan nigromansia (13th cent.), Spanish nigromancia (c1250; also negromancia (1495)), Italian negromanzia (late 13th cent.), {dag}nigromanzia (14th cent.), Portuguese nigromancia (14th cent.). Cf. also Middle Dutch nigromantie, nigramantie, ingromantie, Middle Low German nigromanc{imac}e, nigromant{imac}e, Middle High German nigromanz{imac}e, nigromanz{imac}.
For the forms agremauncey, egramauncye and an archaic 19th-cent. example see EGROMANCY n. (see N n. 3). Cf. the Middle French form ingromancie (c1375).]
a. = NECROMANCY n. 1a.

The word is “necromancyâ€Â.
Actually, I think the word is “lying retard”. Hint: that would be you.
Spies, on a site full of people who act like churlish dolts, you rival JD for unrelenting, mouth-breathing hostility and inconsequential rants.
Here is my link to the Oxford English dictionary form the “askoxford” website: http://www.askoxford.com/results/?view=searchresults&freesearch=nigromancy&branch=&textsearchtype=exact
I can expect an apology for the “liar” comment? Nah, didn’t think so (see reference to your mouth-breathing hostility from above).
You, as usual, miss the forest for the tree, take the tree, eat it, shit out a brick of sawdust and jump up and down pointing to it like it’s a brick of gold. The point, proved by your cite just as much mine is that the word is not common usage and was reproduced to play with other “n” word. Hence, my analogy to Mr. Twain.
I’m glad you have a membership at OED (whereas I must use the AskOxford site) where you can ascertain a word was used 5 times since 1726 and assert, dumbfoundingly, that this means it is in common usage to this day and thus exonerates Mr. Collins. But, as usual, you are wrong.
Thus establishing… what, exactly?
Come along now, no need to be niggardly with your wisdom. Let’s have none of this niggling about.
that he’s a tool? a douchenozzle? a crapweasel!
ZOUNDS!
I can expect an apology for the “liar†comment?
1) That’s not the Oxford English Dictionary.
2) It wasn’t “used five times since 1725”. Those are representative citations, not every single use. See: this and this.
3) You bloviated about how Wikipedia was supposedly a substandard source, while using a crap source yourself.
4) I’ve seen the word used in print numerous times. In fact, I’ve read three of the books listed on the first page of the Amazon search results: Ivanhoe, The Once and Future King and Holy Blood, Holy Grail (a total piece of crap, but I digress). I guess I (and Dan) must read more books than you do, huh?
Hint: The Once and Future King was written in 1958 and HBHG was written in 1983.
Dipshit.
Google finds 3490 uses and that, obviously, is just on the internet. It seems you’ve got the wrong all over you, John.
BTW, John: you don’t need “a membership at OED” to use it. We have special buildings which are just chock-full of books, including big ol’ dictionaries and lots of other reference material. They’re called “libraries”.
nigromancy (Greek nigro, “black”; manteia, “divination”) is black magic, in particular, … Retrieved from “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigromancy”
Doyle. STFU
But don’t you see? Now that O! is Teh Anointed™, we are forever barred from using any word beginning with “nig.”
Presumably Dan could have written “negromancy” and that would have been perfectly okay.
We are the keepers of the word, “ni”!
Doyle – Thanks for the kudos. Now, quit showing your hairy ass to everyone.
I don’t need any exoneration in the eyes of John D. Doyle.
It is the same as if I sang “Got a Black Magic Woman” about a black woman. I knew that it would cause squeals of idiocy from the usual suspects.
I don’t see why I ought to give a fuck.
Dan – You shouldn’t give a flying fuck about people like Doyle, or timmah, or fat ass Chuckie.
I issue a blanket condemnation for any and all uses of words that have elements of other words that may or may not express a particular kind of racialism that some, but not others, may find offensive in some way.
That should cover it.
I condemn Negro Modelo. And while we’re at it, all Spanish speaking peoples. Racists.
How do we feel about “schwarz”?
Or Schwarzenegger? I always thought that sounded racist. I condemn him, twice.
John Doyle, “nigromancy” is the “real” word – necromancy actually has a slightly different meaning, at least in etymological history, however often the words are used interchangeably or one substituted for the other.
Dan’s alleged use and reasons for it wasn’t your deal, wasn’t your assertion….you had the stupidity to assert that necromancy is the word we were looking for.
If your point is, Dan selected a “perfectly good” word in order to poke at sensitivities in a sly way, that is a completely different point to make.
SarahW – Don’t go getting all fact-y on Doyle (that name always makes me think about O’Doyle Rules!).
I knew that it would cause squeals of idiocy from the usual suspects.
It worked, too.
I’m still sniggering.
rival JD for unrelenting, mouth-breathing hostility and inconsequential rants.
Spies – Take consolation in the fact that you came in second to the master. I am insouciant too, Doyle. Just ask happyfeet.
You know: you’re soaking in it.
I’m still confused about how Doyle is maintaining that he is not timmah!, and then mistakes a comment I made about Dan letting timmah! comment here by quoting him in the body of his post as further insinuation that he’s timmah!
Methinks he doth protest too much. But he’s evidently taken his toys and gone home, so I may have to remain confused.
I wonder if Doyle took the same Faux Blogging Outrage mail order class as timmah.
I conde… Oh, wait! … Blanket condemnation still in force. Carry on!
Take consolation in the fact that you came in second to the master.
I’m blushing, actually.
Madge – DEVASTATING !
BJ & Slarti – You guys are pikers. Doyle says I am the best.
It really made me proud that O’Doyle/timmah/IJS would single me out for such an honor. I am going to print his quote and hang it in my office.
Would you like a framed copy of my blanket condemnation to compliment your hanging?
Yes, BJ, that would be a perfect addition. Now take notes, and maybe someday you can achieve mouth-breather status like me.
My knuckles hurt.
Dan – You are a piker too. Just ask Doyle. I am the worst/best !!!!!!! Bask in my reflected glory knuckle draggers !!!!!
It’d help if you didn’t drag them quite so much. Or you could use gloves.
Remember that I still hold the triphy for capitalist/imperialist economic oppressor of TEH BROWN PEOPLE!! BY HEREDITY!!
I know, not quite the acme of Doyle’s lashing but not chopped liver either.
?triphy?
?triphy?
That’s what you get for a three-peat, I think.
