how some trolls find some blogs?
It is interesting to me. I can go and post on all kinds of topics and get one, maybe two, comments - usually from my faithful readers. Then I post something from the news media about NFP or contraception or such like, and all of a sudden I get somewhat (ahem) 'interesting' comments from persons who I have never heard from before. Of course, these same commenters rarely leave a legitimate email address or webpage.
I do try to put up interesting content just before I go into my peri-call blog hibernation (wherein I am usually too busy to even get on-line, let alone put together content!).
Still, it could be worse, I guess. I could be Mark Shea or Amy Welborn.
BTW - could one of you who is on aol contact me privately? I have heard that there is a way to check the identity of an aol user, but that it is only available to members.
did you ever wonder

Does St. Blogs let you see the server logs for your site? When I get a post like that from the Black Bearded Dutch Internet Troll, I tend to go to my server log. From there I can usually find (by timestamp) the entry where they posted and figure out how they found me by looking for a "referrer". It's almost always via a Google search on some terms that matched that entry.
Nowadays, I have all my archives masked from the search engines. Only the front few pages are indexed. I got tired of random hits from strangers.
When I saw your troll, I was initially miffed, but thought, perhaps satire would be the better (slightly more charitable) response. Hope I wasn't out of line there.
I've gotten many trolls through technorati.
Here's how I think it works. Some jerk with nothing better to do gets in a hizzy about his pet topic. So he goes to technorati and types that topic in. Bingo! A whole list of blogs who have recently touched on that topic. He then can go one by one and leave obnoxious comments. of course, 9 out of 10 times he will never come back to see your rebuttal or actually carry out a conversation.
Sounds like a great way to spend your Saturday nights, huh?
