The guy is over-reacting; sure, Heidelberg made a ridiculous mistake, but it was so obvious as to be totally non-damaging (to his targets, at least). And I sort of admired an early prank of his, involving him posing as a Muslim in comments at this site—the intention being to draw racist abuse that would expose right-wingers as evil. It didn’t work; people were mostly fine with old “Mushtaq”. I think someone once called him a raghead, only to be quickly put to rights by other commenters.
(Actually, maybe he should try this again in a few months, but at a lefty site. Quietly establish a faux-Muslim presence in comments threads; slowly build friendships with his tolerant multi-culti co-commentators; then begin denouncing homosexuality and feminism, and calling for the imposition of sharia law. Hilarity ensues!)
In other local blogging news, Mark Bahnisch sets a great example for knocked-up men everywhere by swearing off alcohol during his pregnancy. Although, judging by those crazy eyes, a drink or two might actually be beneficial.
You arr a very, verry bad man, Timy Blair.

Musthaffah BeirPosted by andycanuck on 2006 02 02 at 10:56 AM • permalink“I was good a building rapport with people face to face”-Heidelberg.
Typical bit of delusional self-congratulatory better than thou delusional crap from a lefty. A loser, a failure, admitted lazy incompetent, closet con-artist, and unmitigated fool. Hit the road, Jack (ass) and don’t ya come back no more nomore.Not according to Heidelberg.
That’s because he makes the typical lefty mistake of treating almost any criticism as though it’s an ad hominem attack on his very being. Multiply that with a fake persona that was expressly designed to draw ad hominem abuse, and well, maybe he started believing his own propaganda on that one.
As far as I’m concerned, “were mostly fine with” is an accurate description of what happened - David-as-Mushtaq wasn’t treated any better or any worse than John Q. Randomtroll coming into here for a round of clueless pontificating would be. In fact, as far as I remember people had a lot more patience with him when he was Mushtaq than when he had been Heidelberg before. :)
At any rate, perhaps it wasn’t very nice that people kept bringing up that episode anytime he posted comments on righty blogs and used it to disqualify his opinions on basically anything, but them’s the breaks for abusing people’s trust…fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. He really has nobody but himself to blame for destroying his credibility.
Still, best of luck to him in his future endeavours.
So the Heidelberg crashed and burned a second time?
Posted by Mr. Bingley on 2006 02 02 at 11:42 AM • permalinkHeidelberg certainly shot himself in the foot with his “Mushtaq Omar” impersonation. But he was lame long before that. Indeed, “cognitive dishonesty” seems to be his lot in life.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 02 02 at 12:17 PM • permalinkPerhaps my heart has been rendered cold and black due to too much booze and too many videogames, but he wenting from a sneering, gloating lefty to a polite and apologetic regular guy way too quickly for my tastes.
“Holy shit, I really screwed the pooch this time, have mercy” is not an apology.
Posted by Drunk Fade on 2006 02 02 at 12:17 PM • permalinkThat guy was Mushtaq? That’s hilarious.
Posted by Jim Treacher on 2006 02 02 at 12:32 PM • permalinkWell I’m not going back to being the “designated leftie” on this blog. Last time, McEnroe made me wear a gray long hair wig tied at the back, a Cherokee hat, and sandals. And blather about LIES!!!, illegal wars, and crimes against humanity. I had a freaking script.
The abuse that was thrown at me by the denizens here was horrible. I still have scars. I’m a shell of a man after that shellacking.
But that’s OK. I’ve written each and every person’s name down. I plan to give it to Karl if he ever mentions the need of a blood purge. Our very own Night of the Long Knives. But then, it is a very long list. Be more like a Two Weeks and One Day of the Medium Size Butter Knives.
But I’m waiting. I can be patient.
Posted by wronwright on 2006 02 02 at 01:57 PM • permalinkPssst! Wronwright! Over here, behind the statue of Kosciusko. No, no, that’s the statue of Lafayette! KOSCIUSKO, THE POLISH GUY!!! Right.
Listen, a word to the wise. You know that list of people you’re planning to “get”? Every single person on that list was recently promoted. By Karl. On his express orders. SDD was even invested with the Order of the Plastic Turkey (Second Class). So, unless you want to wind up in the HOV lane to perdition, you might want to, you know, cool it for now.
#14 I don’t talk to statues. Whether Polish or French.
Posted by wronwright on 2006 02 02 at 04:07 PM • permalinkWell, at least he proved he was ignorant.
Posted by Hucklebuck on 2006 02 02 at 05:39 PM • permalinkWow, first Margo, now Mushtaq. Who should we train the guns on next?
My vote is Loewenstein.
Posted by HisHineness on 2006 02 02 at 11:39 PM • permalinkBlood purge? Wronwright, that’s so 1930s. I’m afraid you’ve been spending entirely too much lifespan with the time machine.
Posted by Michael Lonie on 2006 02 03 at 12:03 AM • permalinkPaco, that was YOU?
You stole Wron’s list and substituted it in to the promotion listings?
I finally made senior minion after 27 years of hard graft because of YOU??Jeez that’s evil. And right-wing. And backstabbing. And…
And… and… sheesh, words fail to express my admiration.I’ll send over some fresh Trilobites and a photo of Mohammed humping a camel. The Trilobites Wron left here last time we polished the time machine for him and hid the empty bourbon bottles have been breeding in the
dungeon... erm games room drainage pond.MarkL

SDD was even invested with the Order of the Plastic Turkey (Second Class).
They still made me paint over the “Mugabe’s colon” stencil on Mr McEnroe’s SUV, and wash & wax it, and, worst of all, give it back. Sigh. Still (puffs out chicken chest with big gloaty pride) you’ve gotta admit, this is SOME medal, eh? How about it ladies, does this go with my outfit, or what?
Posted by Stoop Davy Dave on 2006 02 03 at 01:27 PM • permalinkPaco, keeping the little Trilobites so they grow to a good’n hearty size is OK, but you have to keep them away from goldish. They will scarf them. We feed them up on minced moonbat after the Evil Lord Howard and the Lord of the Dismal Science get through with them.
Crack’em, clean ‘em, and wok-fry them with garlic, onion and ginger. Very tasty! Hehe, you should have seen that paleontologist’s face when we served him up a plate of Trilobites in garlic and ginger, and whole fried Ceolocanth!
SDD, the minionettes say you look devine, but I asked you not to boast about that, now the Margronk has seen your photo and is snarling and barking in her cage AGAIN.
Oh, it’s OK, the minionettes have got the cattle prod and extra chains.

Not according to Heidelberg.
