Into the creepy - Whaleoil is hounding a 24yr old young woman.
Creepy squared: The Herald on Sunday -- that bellweather of good taste and rigorous journalistic and editorial standards -- crawling onto the moral high ground.
Perhaps the Herald on Sunday knew about the very large piece on Cameron in the Sunday Star Times today.

That SST photo of Blubber is hilarious. Tucking his hands inside his arms to try make them look all strong instead of flabby, just like a pubescent teen would. Poor insecure bastard.

What gets me about this manchild is that he is so obviously an embittered troll - he said as much. His whole thing is, apparently, that he has nothing to lose, and so can be as vile as he wants. So why do people give so much credence to him? Nasty, nasty piece of work.

He gets a free pass because of who daddy is.

So that's what a wanker looks like.

lmfao. this fellow came to mind reading that last paragraph.

From the "so we don't have to" file, the Standardistas discuss Master Slater, man o mystery.
Let’s get this clear then, a 40 year old unemployed freak has spent over a year stalking and bullying a 24 year old woman he’s never met for no reason at all. WTF?
Given he’s one of the National party’s two main bloggers this is not a good look.
And it seems National realises that as well. In the Sunday Star Times story John Key’s main handler, Kevin Taylor, desperately tries to distance the party from Slater claiming he has only met him once. That strikes me as rather odd as Key and Slater seem to know each other quite well and where Key goes, Taylor goes. Never mind.

You'll also note in that thread there's an impassioned post from one of Pearl Going's "friends". The unusual elements of this story do not seem to end with Slater himself.
Just stay very still and breathe quietly. They may not notice you.

I managed to bring myself to read both the pro- and anti-Pearl sites. I agree all seems not well with the mental health of either party in that situation. Pleasant diversion from statistics, so who am I to talk.

Hey, Sacha, let's cut a deal: You cut the fat cracks, and I'll leave the retards, gimps and spastics alone.

I doubt anyone other than you is taking it as a generic comment, Craig. When he's not big-upping his macho self, the guy calls himself Whaleoil. It's rendered from...
-
And I'm hardly anorexic myself. Sheesh.

Speaking as a "Fitness Freak" I promise only to pick on those pretending to be fit. Damn that sand in my eye.....
-
Actually it's the snivelling of bullies that first occurs to me when I use the word in connection with Slater.
-

No, Sacha, just a weirdly bullying response to a bully. One of the more deliicious ironies about Slater is that he does bring out the ugly, prickish and irony-free in people who should know better -- and some, like The Standard, who never will,

Oh yes, the meek shall inherit the earth and all that.

Slater has gone public, waved the metaphorical wooden leg, & fessed up to being a card-carrying sufferer from a genuine disability, namely big-D depression, which has scourged his existence to the point where he is no longer able to live a 'normal' life, let alone work.
As the commentariat Around Here generally extend the greatest concern to disabilities of all stripes, surely the same should be accorded to Slater, tempting as it might be to regard him as the village cripple of the blogosphere, menacing women with his makeshift crutch.
I for one have been scolded for loosely using the term 'off one's meds' in this forum, and while that gym photo might send me thinking along those lines, I now resolve to become a better man. Nor will I wilfully confuse slaters with earwigs, as I've been prone to do in the past.
-
Most depressed people do not make a career out of viciously and gleefully attacking others. While I have sympathy for Slater's mental health, that does not excuse his behaviour. And yes, bullies piss me off. Which probably does not excuse my behaviour either. Guess which cheek I'm turning.
-

Sacha: Nice deployment of the Whaleoily passive into you aggression, but that wasn't meek and you really don't want to start trading Biblical tags.

Some of the oil must have stuck while I visited his lair yesterday. After a shower and an honest day's toil, normal service should be resumed.

So I've noticed. Once we have a clinical term for being a total shit, and it becomes a recognised disability that one may publicly spill one's guts about, there's only plain old suburban depression. You could argue that David Garrett displays more imagination by playing the I-was-traumatised-by-my-time-on-an-oil-rig-back-in-the-day card.
I say give the boy more TV time. In case you haven't noticed, once he's in front of the camera all the bluster evaporates, and he's just another attention-seeking puppy who wants his tummy tickled.
-
Sorry, until we have a clinical term for being a total shit.
As I'm not too up on cutting-edge psychology, it wouldn't surprise me if there already is one.

If anything, he comes across as a Clayton's Rambo in that photo. With friends like him, who needs enemies?

Before anyone feels bad, this from Kiwiblog comments on Paul Henry describing OCD sufferers as "crazy freaks":
Paul has got it right, they are.
This whole culture of ” I’ve got a disorder, so deal with it ” is bollocks. Its about time people took responsibility for dealing with, and overcoming these problems instead of fabricating an excuse.
Personality disorders are not something that can be diagnosed with a blood test and in a sense they are not real, they are an efficient way of categorizing human behavior, and behavior that can and should be changed.
We need more people to combat this PC crap that only serves to weaken society and create a bunch of namby pamby excuse welding fruit loops.Except for Whaleoil, presumably.

Riiight. So we all just sit about playing nice and waiting for the day he slips in his own oil and does himself some major damage. Oh, maybe he just did.
