Bye Bye Nico!

nico3.jpg ThinkProgress would like to bid a fond farewell to our dear friend and colleague, Nico Pitney. Nico has accepted a position with The Huffington Post, where he will serve as a politics editor.

Nico helped launch ThinkProgress in January 2005, and has been a dynamic, eloquent, and thoughtful contributor ever since. He inspired and taught us to become better bloggers, and the success of this site has reflected his tremendous guidance and leadership.

Please send your goodbye wishes to byebyenico@gmail.com. HeÂ’’d love to hear from you.

As a token of our appreciation, we’ve compiled some of our favorite blog posts authored by Nico over the years. Enjoy the trip down memory lane:

    Thank you, Nico, for providing us with the information we need to know. Good luck in your future endeavors!

    Some of my favorite TP topics turned out to be Nico’s. It’s going to be hard to replace his wit and energy. Best of luck, Nico!


  4. Zooey says:

    Bye Nico, best of luck to you at HuffPo. :)

    Best of Luck and all at Huffpo.
    Mayhaps you could get some clues from them about troll control…??


  8. mikey r says:

    Thanks for all your hard wok, Nico!

    Please take Ringo with you.


  9. TripMaster Monkey says:

    Bye Nico. You’re abandoning the sinking ship just in time.


  10. DreamCrusher says:

    Good luck on further propaganda efforts, grasshopper.


  11. Ringo says:

    Anyone know the age of this kid?…He looks as if he was still in diapers when the first Bush was in the White House.

    Good Lord, this explains a lot about TP.


  12. hellinabucket says:

    All the more reason to enjoy the Huffington Post. Leave Ringo here. He can be handled like luggage at JFK.


  13. Tundra says:

    Goodbye Nico,

    Thanks for the posts and good luck in your new postion.

    It’s not suddenly a “sinking ship” because you got yourself banned.

    You should learn to behave better.


  15. Zooey says:

    The rightwing authoritarian trolls have to trash every thread no matter what the topic.

    TP Users: Please freeze out any and all trolls, no matter what they say. This needs to end.


  16. CT Scantonocity says:

    I’m guessing that Amanda will be appointed the next deputy director.


  17. CD says:

    Thanks for kicking ass Nico.


  18. bill says:

    does this mean you’re hiring?


  19. Princess Sparkle Pony says:

    Nico has been a real credit to this site. Best wishes, mate!


  20. Egreggious says:

    Everyone have a good day.

    There is obviously not much to be learned on the threads today.


  21. TripMaster Monkey says:

    CT Idiocy sez:

    It’s not suddenly a “sinking ship” because you got yourself banned.

    It’s a “sinking ship” because legitimate posters are censored and banned, while idiot trolls like you are allowed to post your filth, even to the point of namejacking legitimate posters and ridiculing fallen servicemen.

    You should learn to behave better.

    That reminds me….you never answered my question from the other thread. How exactly did I violate the TOS again?


  22. hellinabucket says:

    CT, you dissapoint me. Other threads show you wanting to express views without insults but here are glaring examples that you feel perfectly at home being the “Troll”.


  23. Krazny says:

    Goodbye Nico, and good luck.


  24. Ringo says:

    Is the age and life experience of a political blogger not a legitimate issue?…I mean, this guy is clearly younger than the average Playboy centerfold.

    I bet he was barely old enough to vote in the last Presidential election.


  25. Zooey says:

    That being said, far too many posts from trolls are only for their own self pleasure. An odd form of a digital jerk off. Heavy on the jerk.
    Comment by hellinabucket — July 30, 2007 @ 3:04 pm

    Obviously, there is no debate today….


  26. CT Scantonocity says:

    Comment by hellinabucket — July 30, 2007 @ 3:06 pm

    I simply think that you carry a good, logical debate, Mr. Bucket. My apologies if you feel dissapointed at my own behavior, but Mr. Monkey is banned and I’m not (at least not yet). If I do end up banned, I pledge not to mingle with any IP address to get back on.

    Mr. Monkey should respect the wishes of our thoughtful and intelligent TP administrators and leave.


  27. squegeeboo says:

    Bye Nico, and good luck in your new endeavor.


  28. hellinabucket says:

    Ringo, his posts show a far superior understanding of the political landscape than the ignorant postings from the likes of you.

    If your upset that someone younger than you has shown to be successful than say it. It’s ok to acknowledge you aren’t the smartest one here, or in your house, or county, or………..


  29. Nirvision says:

    Best of luck, Nico!


  30. mikey r says:

    Is the age and life experience of a political blogger not a legitimate issue?

    Comment by Ringo — July 30, 2007 @ 3:09 pm

    It’s clearly not a legitimate issue when talking about commenters on TP threads. The trolls here demonstrate all the wisdom, political acumen and manners of thirteen-year-old boys, getting wired on Mountain Dew and indulging in the twenty-first-century equivalent of prank calls.

    Ringo included.


  31. veritas says:

    Thank you, Nico, for your fearless presentation of the Truth. I have no doubt that you will be a wonderful addition to the Huffpo writers! Best of luck and thanks again for bringing relevant news to people who care.

    Comment by TripMaster Monkey — July 30, 2007 @ 3:05 pm

    Of course I wouldn’t precisely know, Mr. Monkey. TP administration figured out that you violated some standard and banned you. That says a lot, given your monkey status.

    Your banning, they possibly feel, helps preserve the quality discourse on this site.


  34. Larry from C says:

    Isn’t he the kid from “The Wonder Years”?


  35. CT Scantonocity says:

    Mr. Monkey talkz:

    ….even to the point of namejacking legitimate posters and ridiculing fallen servicemen….

    You’ll need to post the technical evidence (matching IP addresses, etc.) proving the fact it was indeed a “troll” who name-jacked any dead soldiers.

    If not, I suppose you don’t understand the “proof” issue, after all.

    You’re all talk, Mr. Monkey.


  36. Zooey says:

    No. Although thats coming from a youngster with less life experience, so my view on this may be biased.

    Sorry to hear that. Welcome to my world.

    That clearly an erroneous assumption, C**T, when they let trolls like you and Mr. Pee ransack threads with impunity.

    “Quality discourse” is clearly not what they’re seeking to preserve.


  44. BARTLEBEE says:

    Good luck Nico.

    And while you’re over there can you see if you can get me unbanned?

    Yup, but I’m pushing Smirking Chimp because the topics are much more in-depth, and the comment system is much more advanced (user registration and threaded discussions).

    nico – thanks for all you’ve done here at TP…

    so sorry that the comments have turned to shite,
    sounding more like a hatefull idjit chat room at times…
    it’s not ALL your fault…

    best wishes at huffpo!
    you are a great writer, imo…


  49. mikey r says:

    Perhaps I should have added, C**T, that “quality discourse” is also clearly not what you nor your cohorts seek to promote, judging by your contributions to this forum.

    Comment by TripMaster Monkey — July 30, 2007 @ 3:21 pm

    That’s not proof, Mr. Monkey. It’s called your own unsubstantiated opinion.

    I’m guessing that doing research isn’t your interest, after all. Being a poser, however, is.

    Put up or shut up, Mr. Monkey. Again, provide the evidence and put away the arrogant and dismissive remarks.

    “Actually, I don’t,” says Mr. Monkey. Don’t ask anybody in here for anything until you provide the neutral proof. I’ll monitor your statements to ensure that you’re not doing so.

    More blather from our in-house expert on name-jacking dead service members and blaming it on progressives.


  55. TripMaster Monkey says:

    CT Idiocy sez:

    That’s not proof, Mr. Monkey. It’s called your own unsubstantiated opinion.

    Your request for “proof” was sheer idiocy, you dolt. I don’t need to prove that a “troll” namejacked a dead soldier, when the very act of namejacking a dead soldier is one of the things that defines a troll.

    Of course it was a “troll” that namejcked the dead soldier, since committing that act makes one a troll.

    I really don’t know how to make it any clearer to you, CT.


  56. CT Scantonocity says:

    Mikey has something to hide. His patterns are easily recognizable.

    Your credibility is entirely shot, as you’ve been banned from TP.

    You need to leave.

    That’s rich. CT observing someone else’s credibility is shot.

    CT is mean-spirited, narrow-minded, intolerant, bullying, dogmatic, a poor judge of character, hypocritical, prone to panic, inconsistent, highly self-righteous, and contradictory.

    Talk about embarrassing….

    I’m disappointed that you seem to have abandoned the Keith Ellison thread, just as I asked you an intriguing question, C**T. I’m sure the two events were unrelated.


  71. mikey r says:

    “Dogmatic” is not necessarily a pejorative word.

    Zooey, like so many other lefties (I’m looking at you TRoS) tends to pick up words and phrases from others, which she then misuses because she does not know the meaning of the word or phrase.

    Comment by Mr. NeoCON — July 30, 2007 @ 4:20 pm

    This from a troll who throws out phrases like “Islamo-Stalinist” as if they actually meant something.

    Perhaps YOU don’t know the meaning of dogmatic. Dictionary.com offers the following as its second definition:

    asserting opinions in a doctrinaire or arrogant manner; opinionated

    That certainly sounds pejorative to me. Especially on a blog that seeks to celebrate open-mindedness and reasonable discourse.

    Give it up, Mr. Pee. Your name has changed but your game is the same, and it’s your game that got your name banned.


  72. PatrioticLiberalChristian(PLC) says:

    Best wishes, Nico, and thanks for your efforts.

    To, CT: Nico does appear to be young. And he appears to be very bright and knowledgeable. Some people, like Nico, use their years to become more informed. Others, like you, just use their years to become more inbred in their thinking, more socially obnoxious, and more detrimental to society.


  73. BARTLEBEE says:

    What is this an english class?

    We’ve got inbred neocons born in backwoods doublewides and educated with a TV Guide, trying to sound erudite by expounding on the meaning of the word dogmatic.

    Hey folks. Sanity check.

    These are the same inbreds who elected a man who by his own admission “don’t read much”.

  78. BARTLEBEE says:

    If you hired a carpenter to build you a house, and 4 years later all that was on the property was a broken foundation, a leaning frame and a roof full of holes, would you ask the carpenter what you needed to do next?

    Are you cereal?

    You accused Zooey of not knowing the definition of the word “dogmatic”.

    The only evidence you gave for that suspicion wasyour contention that “dogmatic” is not a pejorative word.

    I proved you wrong, and you STILL have not given any good reason why you think Zooey used the word incorrectly.

    Ah, well, what should I expect? It’s only Mr. pee and his World of Fuzzy Logic. This is from a guy who uses phrases like “Islamo-Stalinist” and thinks Saudis aren’t Muslims.

    You’re a good projecting idiot, Mr. UnpatrioticIslamud. You wouldn’t know how to determine the intelligence of anyone.

    Picking on people from poor backgounds, again? Double wides and T.V Guides? Your a smart on you, picking on us down cheer! You smart educated city folks got it made, with your divorce lawyers and big screen T.V.’s. I wish I was as educated as you, that way I could make fun of my neighbors, with their food stamps and shoeless babies running around the double wide, hungry all the time. That’s real funny. I might even be able to go to college, but aint smart enough as you, so why waste my time. I just saw a show on the History Channel, (thank you T.V. Guide) about them German people back in the forties. Says they started a revolution, going from beer hall to beer hall, some little guy with one testicle. They was preaching change. I believe their movement was called “Progressive” at first. Then what do you know, Nazi’s. Time to ggo beat the dog and shoot my gun at nothing in particular, ya’ll be good now, you hear.

    There you are, C**T! I’ve been looking for you. I wanted to run something by you, regarding a couple of seemingly contradictory statements you made earlier. I asked this on the Keith Ellison thread, but you seem to have abandoned it just about the same time as I posed the question. Weird.

    Anyway, the statements were these:

    You’ll need to post the technical evidence (matching IP addresses, etc.) proving the fact it was indeed a “troll” who name-jacked any dead soldiers.

    Clean up your act, TP. You cannot simply stonewall. We’re too informed for that.

    Mr. Mikey, the investigation is over.

    You are the culprit. You mocked two dead American heroes.

    What do you have to say for yourself?

    Comment by CT Scantonocity — July 30, 2007 @ 5:04 pm

    Again, Mr. C**T, let me remind you of your own words from earlier today:

    You’ll need to post the technical evidence (matching IP addresses, etc.) proving the fact it was indeed a “troll” who name-jacked any dead soldiers.

    Comment by CT Scantonocity — July 30, 2007 @ 3:18 pm

    Presumably, if another poster needed to provide such proof, then so do you, correct?

    No one has seen such proof from you.

    (None will be forthcoming, either, since you and I both know that you were the culprit.)

    Care to explain the discrepancy between your two statements?

    Thanks.

    I just saw a show on the History Channel, (thank you T.V. Guide) about them German people back in the forties.

    Comment by Johnny Stank — July 30, 2007 @ 4:57 pm

    He won’t do it because he can’t do it. He’ll just keep repeating the accusation over and over because that’s all he’s got: mindless repetition.

    Poor mikey, making up stuff as he goes along. Deliberately mocking the deaths of two soldiers to stir up commotion against the much hated “trolls.”

    You, sir, are the troll. You are the culprit. You are the treasoner who should be deported forever from our great nation.

    and two, care to explain the discrepancy between your statements?

    No, let me make it easier for you to concentrate, since I know that’s a problem for you:

    Then four minutes later, on another thread, the same poster said:

    Breaking: ‘mikey r’ is the name-jacker of the two dead American heroes, Pat Tillman and Stephen R. Sherman.

    This poster has continued his accusations, which he knows to be false, and has not produced any of the same level of evidence he demanded of another four minutes earlier.

    In response, he whirls like a dervish and only gets himself tangled up in the frayed carpeting in his mom’s basement. Poor little C**T.

    Oh and thanks for including this line: How does it feel to be the name-jacker of two dead soldiers, c*nt?

    All you have to do is provide some evidence, troll, and if you had it you would provide it. Pretty funny for you to accuse someone else of “randomly accusing others” under the circumstances.

    I haven’t accused any particular troll but, since you’re unable to actually read and think, you wouldn’t know that.


  114. CT Scantonocity says:

    Comment by mikey r — July 30, 2007 @ 5:20 pm

    And the other posters (libecrats) have no problem duplicating my
    exact
    style of attempting to randomly implicate others without any technical evidence whatsoever.

    Hope you enjoyed the taste of your own medicine, along with the exposure of your hypocrisy. FART&PEE, DUMB*TCH, other libecrats, that goes for you too.

  116. Johnny Swank says:

    Bartlebee- Hope I didn’t really share a fact with you that you didn’t know. When Hitler was running around beer halls in Germany, they did in fact call themselves “Progressives”. Go read an actual history book written during the time. Not the computer which will tell you anything you want to hear. That’s what so funny about most of you. You don’t care about silly things like that. That’s why half of America thanks your scary, and the other twenty five percent hasn’t figured it out yet. You should stick with liberals. Why again is that considered “dirty”.

    Thanks, Eg. C**T’s antics were never more than a tantrum meant to distract, and I knew no one would ever take them seriously.

    You know, in my experience when someone is asked a direct question, if they have a good answer, they’ll generally offer it. It tends to save time and aggravation.

    Obviously, C**T has no good answer, since he keeps avoiding the question.

    Why was “technical proof” so critical for him at 3:18, but completely irrelevant at 3:22?

    I’ve read more books by the time I was 15 than you did in your entire 7 years of education junior. As for the Nazi’s, I suggest you start with “Mein Kampf”, (which I read in the original german when I was 15).

    If you had the least bit of knowledge on the subject, you would know that the brownshirts were radical conservatives, not leftists, although they tried to appeal to the labor party. You’d also know that their words, deeds, and actions are identical to the philosophies of your party of neocon pigs today, right down to removing constitutional protections in the name of national security.

    The only difference right now between the neocon pigs in power and the Nazi party is we haven’t gotten your dumb asses to Nuremburg.

    Yet.

    I learn every single day, from books and life. You never started learning. You’re so safe and warm in your authoritarian upbringing that you will follow a loser like Mr Pee the rest of your days. He and his kind will bring you only regret and sorrow, but you will deserve every moment of it.

    CT is a lost little child who feels big and powerful by playing the bully on a political blog. That is sad beyond belief. Our consolation is that as along as he’s here, he’s not inflicting himself on others in the real world.


  138. Egreggious says:

    One more thing.

    Since we are all anonymous here and can change our names if we like, it doesn’t really matter a hell of a lot if I say The Joker did it, mikey r did it, or Egreggious did it.

    The person that did it was scum.

    I happen to believe that person was the one who went by the name of The Joker.

    On the same thread, a poster repeatedly namejacked.

    On the same thread, a poster referred to me as a Cracker, a word I have not seen on this site since The Joker was posting here.

    I began to suspect that The Joker was back, and that is why I brought the matter up.

    Just saying.


  147. Johnny Swank says:

    Bartlebee- Calm down old man. I know who the “Progressives” were back then. I know they were to the right. I just find it amusing that your “movement” want’s to call itself Progressive in light of that. So sad it’s funny. Again with Bush? Republicans belong in concentration camps in Nuremburg? WOW!!! That says it all my friend! Bush is turning on those ovens isn’t he. He’s taking all our rights away, sending us off to concentration camps, he’s killing everyone who disagrees with him. Your so sad, I feel sorry for you. Nuremburg? We’re all still Americans you ass.


  148. BARTLEBEE says:

    And by the way CT, the “Fart&Pee” thingy wasn’t really funny the first time around. It just makes you sound like a 3rd grader making body function jokes. Now if you had said, “Fartlepee”, then that would have been kind of funny, at least the first few hundred times.

    Might I also suggest, Fartlebee, SmartlePee, DumbleBee, StumbleBee, or WartleBee?

    Those should get you going and maybe down the road you’ll have an original thought or two. Unlikely, but at least you can try.

    10 days.

    No kangaroo in the pouch, CT. I’m guessing you already have a mom, and I’m done raising kids. You will simply be a fellow responsible adult. We’ve gone back and forth before, but this will be the last time.

    And, Eg, it IS strange when we treat them like human beings. But then, it’s strange for them to be acting like human beings.

    … I don’t like it.

    That was easy… too easy…

    …could be a trap…

    Funny, guys. :)

    They are human afterall, and it’s what I do.

    It’s not a trap, you don’t have to worry.

    I realize TP having a problem with off-topic postings, and I want to go down the tough road of being part of the solution.

    It very well could be a trap, mikey, I’m willing to take the chance of looking foolish. But what if it’s not a trap….?

    I will not think that you look foolish, regardless of how this turns out.

    Pretty well said. The tough part will be keeping a conversation with my troll friends.

    Have any suggestions for a smooth transition in order to keep everybody happy?

    It’s a tough, but reasonable path to citizenship.

    Thank you, Egg. I appreciate that. :)

    Sometimes, the things most worth doing are the hardest.

    I think the easiest start for your transition would be to change your name.

    I won’t ask you to give up your troll friends, but you will have to keep in mind your own goals, and not give in to the impulse to join them.

    My posts aren’t showing up.


  180. Egreggious says:

    I wonder if it’s because I’m using variations of Mr. Neocon’s former name.

    Comment by Martha Stewart — July 30, 2007 @ 7:16 pm

    Egg’s too? That might be because of the purge this morning. Mine weren’t showing up around then. Keep trying!


  182. Egreggious says:

    OK.

    So Mr. Neocon can be a friendly and reasonable fellow when he puts his mind to it. I hope he might help you out, CT.

    As for the others, I guess we’ll just have to see.

    At least a few posts of mine didn’t show up, but changing my name is a good idea.


  185. BARTLEBEE says:

    Well they deleted my last 3 posts so I gave up.

    I can understand though, being Nico’s farewell and all.


  186. Egreggious says:

    I think TP’s having a few problems.

    We’re probably ALL on moderation today. :(

    I love nachos. So cheesy and crunchy. Yum. :)

    Best wishes, Nico, and keep giving hell to the Regressives *thumbs up* :)
