Orcing

Orcing or orking is a term coined by Kathryn Cramer in a blog post on April 8, 2004 in the context of an onslaught of trolling organized in the comment section of Charles Johnson's blog Little Green Footballs. The controversey was over the death of four Blackwater employees in an ambush at Fallujah.

It was very unwise of Charles at LFG to attempt to launch a new attack on my site in reponse to criticism, given that he knows that the first round of attacks resulted in threats to me and to my family. My referrer logs can presumably be compared to the IP numbers of new posts of this nature. As one can see, this behavior from the LGF folks is so far beyond trolling that it needs a new name. <a href="http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/o/orcs.html">Orcing</a>. (Or should we spell it <a href="http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/o/orcs.html">orking</a>?)
