One of the most fun things about being a blogger is watching people you criticize have their heads explode the nanosecond you call them out on their bullshit.

We here at BLACKHEARTCleveland are sick and tired of said bullshit in the Cleveland blogosphere, and said so in our editorial on Monday, say so on our About page, and we are walking that talk.  Get used to it.  Norm Roulet, who presides over what is rapidly becoming the repository of every nutcase in NEO blogdom, no likey that anyone dares to notice.  The ensuing cacophony of CRAZY at REALNEO has me laughing so hard, my sides hurt.

It began as such things normally do, with the oldie but goodie, “Russo’s EVIL!“  It has been empirically proven, over and over, that when your target goes to that, straight outta the gate, on a post I didn’t even write but am merely associated with and endorse, you’ve got ‘em dead to rights.  The problem is, when you unleash the EVIL, where can you possibly go from there?

We found out!  Norm and his commenters have since descended into realms previously unknown.  For example, I don’t know right from wrong.  I’m catty, and I hang with catty people.  I’m engaging in hate speech.  I’m attacking Norm Roulet’s family.  I’m literally fucking children.  I’ve lost my mind.  Just because I linked!  It’s all so great, I’ve been laughing myself into a coma all day.

But the best comment, by far, is this one from Norm.

Has a real hater, neonazi kinda vibe

I’m thinking the KKK or some white supremacy group, but could just be a bunch of tech people who want to disrupt the alternative media movement in town by turning Cleveland into complete garbage… could be funded by the GCP,.

Yes, if you dare take note that RealNEO ain’t all that, you simply must be a “hater, neonazi KKK or some white supremacy group” FUNDED BY THE GREATER CLEVELAND PARTNERSHIP MY GOD THE HORROR! Someone alert Joe Roman, what a terrible mistake he has made!

Really, I have no idea what anyone would find objectionable about RealNEO.  That $10 million grant from the county is surely on the way!

UPDATE:  And further down it sinks, as Norm Roulet’s wife issues a death threat.

Would someone pay me to kill Tim Russo?

Since my husband is not a “trust fund baby” and I only have a part-time job I could really use the money. Too bad fucking scum bags like you don’t feel a need to get their facts right. Come over and I will show you my tax returns. I guess if you are a pervert/ pediphile it does n’t matter what you do in life — everybody will always hate you. Cleveland — and the world would be a better place without you

This case is getting easier to rest by the second.
