Ruminations on the passing of "The Big W"

As I noted yesterday in a posting here (Bye, Bye, Big W...), it appears that Robert Spencer's tech genius-cum-henchman, "Marc", has deep-sixed our old friend, The Big W.

I said this in the basis of Big W's wholesale disappearance from two unusually large and very recent Jihad Watch comments threads, days after I know for a fact Big W had lodged at least 10 or a dozen comments apiece in each of those threads.

Well, this morning, while still on my first cup of coffee, I thought I'd dive back into earlier Jihad Watch comments threads and take a look-see.  Doing a Google advanced search, specifying "thebigw" on the Jihad Watch site, I have tentatively determined (as of today) that "Marc" has extirpated our old friend's horrific presence on Robert's hallowed pages only back to about August of 2019:  I.e., one August thread that showed up on the Google page as having "thebigW" had nary hide nor hair of our old friend once the reader clicks on it and goes in to look; however, two threads from May of 2019 did in fact contain his winsomely robust presence.



And that screen shot only represents the top half of a Google page, of which there are many pages following, all with evidence of Big W's past contributions.  Notice that entry from May 19, 2019, which records someone angrily addressing our old friend:

"thebigW: What the hell are you talking about?..."

That happened to be another old friend, one "Wellington", whom I've had many occasions over the years -- here at this little ol' blog, as well as on my wheezingly halcyon flagship The Hesperado -- to analyze for his asymptotic twitches.

Since that was memorialized in May of last year, and as I say, Robert's tech genius "Marc" apparently hasn't yet gone back that far to purify Jihad Watch of the soiled presence of The Big W, let's take a gander at the fuller exchange, shall we...?  Actually, I just revisited that thread, and the exchange is much longer, and involves also another old friend of ours, one "gravenimage" (about whom I've also written many times here and on The Hesperado) -- too long to post here, but I will log it over on my companion reservoir, Resource for The Hesperado (and I better do this quick, before "Marc" continues on his Big-W-cide rampage, perhaps going back month by month, and not yet having reached May of 2019, with his bloody scythe...)

Aside from the responses Big W made in that thread to Wellington and gravenimage pussyfooting around Big W's reasonable allegation -- namely, that even valiant Counter-Jihadists on Jihad Watch prevaricate in mealymouthed ways about the problem of Muslims -- I note in rummaging around that Big W actually did take the trouble to answer, a few days later in another Jihad Watch thread, "The Beer Mat Scheme That Went Awry Part 2":

There’s one for Wellington, what Westman said: “Like casual Christians, the casual Muslim is likely to only have a shallow understanding of the doctrines” when Wellington dared me to find any Jihad Watchers who aren’t against all Muslims. How can you be against Muslims who are only “casual” and only have a”shallow understanding” of Islam? An’ why is this Westman guy assuming Muslim society has to be like modern Western Christian society, specially in a way that’s in their favor? I’ll keep an eye out for more (which I see every damn day IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER) https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/05/poll-finds-overwhelmingly-that-islam-is-unwelcome-in-germany#comment-2101561

And then on May 31, in a thread attached to the Jihad Watch article, "Glazov Moment UK Police Escort Muslim Mob to Attack Tommy":

“It seems most Muslims only give lip service to Islam. ” – that mortimer guy 

Then we have that Wellington feller from another post: Wellington says May 19, 2019 at 3:52 pm “thebigW: What the hell are you talking about? Who here at JW is fine with Muslims in a Western nation but not OK with Islam in a Western nation? The burden of proof is now on you. Please explain yourself.” 

Well, if ol’ mortimer thinks “most Muslims only give lip service to Islam” then OBVIOUSLY he’s ok with Islam in the West (unless ya think Muslims in the West (“most” which = MILLIONS) is different from Islam in the West, LMAO. thebigW says May 31, 2019 at 2:47 pm and by the way, this mortimer guy made that SWEEPING statement about “most Muslims” (= millions) just because they didn’t join ISIS–as if that’s the only kind of jihad they’re waging against us. Looks like the stealth jihad of Muzzies is working–on people like mortimer. 

And by the way, if the reader carefully & conscientiously reads through those threads, he will note that, tellingly, neither Wellington nor gravenimage answer Big W's last word, which essentially vitiates their initial (and midstream) complaints against him.  After Big W delivers his effective rebuttals at the end, Wellington and gravenimage utterly vanish from sight; apparently hoping no one will notice their arguments failed (and they're probably right: no one will notice).

P.S.: And then there was the esprit d'escalier I had here on The Daily Decaf back in June of 2019.
