Self Link? October 3, 2007 2:16 PM   Subscribe

Or are we just sick of self links?

The first blog linked to in this FPP has author Jason Fenimore Sattler. The bio for Jason Sattler links to The Valley Jew blog - which is the blog listed in PeterNicely's profile.

He got so much grief for his "What the hell?" deletion reason that now he is trying too hard. Just let it flow dude.

Oh yeah! Looks like his previous post linked to TenCarTrain too. But at least that was another author on the blog.

Thats just a terrible post with a lot of random links. Poor quality is an adequate reason to delete it.

Jason Sattler writes for the Databazaar Blog, http://blog.databazaar.com/.So he's either a huge fan of Jason Sattler's work, or a spammer and future banhammer victim.

It's definitely a self-link.
posted by drezdn at 2:49 PM on October 3, 2007


There's also a blog post about him on sneakmove.com

Doesn't a link to a deleted self-linking thread sort of defeat the purpose of deleting it?

(And I'm not just talking about Metatalk, but also the blog listed in the other thread about deleted threads.)

In other words, while MetaTalk threads like this are fun, the best thing to do about the way you feel when a self-linker shits on MeFi is to flag it. Hankies work, and keep the tears and runny nose in check to boot.

Man. Looks like Sattler has never made a post that didn't have a self-link or something painfully close (not entirely clear on the sneakmove connection, aside from apparent coziness).

And dude also had a post deleted previously that also linked to tencartrain. Tremendous. Adios, fucko.

There's no much of a connection, besides that they know each other. But it's pretty bad when every post you make can be connected back to you.

Adding "fucko" to my vocab.

My first reaction upon reading that post was, man, this reads just like the oj coupon post. They could have been written by the same dork.

Hammer---you ain't hit in New York! So what you gonna do about that, Hammer?

If I could find it, snsranch, I'd link it... a little birdie once told me about an *ahem* adult video featuring one Fucko the Clown.

As if clowns didn't freak me out already...

bitter-girl: He's not quite Fucko the CLown, but Yucko the Clown probably comes close. (Warning link is utterly offensive to every sensibility known to mankind.)

All of a sudden I have this nagging idea that all of MetaFilter should get together and buy the admins symbolic banhammers.
posted by DMan at 5:14 PM on October 3, 2007


wachoo mean, "symbolic"?
posted by yhbc at 5:33 PM on October 3, 2007


Not that it matters now but I looked at sneakmove through the wayback machine and discovered that he did used to write there. He originally went by pete but changed his name to "fake name" sometime later. Look at the top post here then look at it here. Same guy, different name.
posted by puke & cry at 5:37 PM on October 3, 2007


Ha!!! I'm pretty sure fucko and Yucko are two different guys....
nobody's having sex with Yucko!!!!

Adding "fucko" to my vocab.

Fucko is indeed a great word. I recall it being used to good effect in Goodfellas. I think it's how one of the cops addressed Henry Hill when he got busted, toward the end of the movie. And inasmuch as cortex is a mod, and the mods are kinda like the cops around here*, I'd say it's an especially appropriate usage.

*but don't take offense, cortex. I think you're a good cop.

The guy who accosted Karen said 'c'mon, fucko, you want some?' and then Henry pistolwhipped the shit out of him.

Aah! THAT was it! Thanks jonmc. Your accuracy is appreciated!

Fucko the Clown did PR for the stiffs.com dead pool site back in the day. Haven't seen him around for a while.

Oh, be sure to get your Fucko Love Handle while you're there.

"Fucko, Yucko and Sucko? Wha? Is tha suppose ta be funny? You a a fuckin' comedian now? They're all a bunch a fuckin' fucks!"

I loves me some Joe Pesce!

I always thought Fucko was from The Usual Suspects.

fucko was also used in the Limey when they throw him out of the warehouse.

Oh, and my dog is also named fucko.
posted by docpops at 10:24 PM on October 3, 2007


I think Robert DeNiro also says fucko when telling the FBI agents that he was leaving the diner. The cops at the end of the movie say bye-bye, dickhead.
posted by Bookhouse at 11:07 PM on October 3, 2007


I'm pretty sure that fucko also appears in Captains Courageous, when Spencer Tracy digs Freddy Bartholemew out of the sea, and he's crying and complaining. Tracy sings him that song:

"Yo-ho, little fucko, don't cry, don't cry,
Yo-ho, little fucko, don't cry, don't cry"
