. . . get a life?
Michele is running a poll, and is looking "to get a wide range of political views," so I expect some of you bomb-throwing anarchists could participate if you want.
She also mentioned a few days back that. . . well, see the entry. It's probably really not my place to say anything on this one.
Did make me curious about any long-running bad-blood feuds going on between people who have never actually met in person, but then I realized that anyone doing that sort of thing probably isn't that interesting. So I didn't do the usual research. Anyone can think of any off the top of their head, let me know.
I mean, yes, AMCGLTD will never be linked here again, but that's different.
It just is.
Shut up.
There's a guy I tossed out of my comments section about a year and a half ago for being a jackass. (I don't care if he and I live physically in the same city--we've never met--and went to the same university, he's still a tourist.) I hardly ever think about him unless he thrusts himself into my consciousness.
When I posted something about my experience attending a "pro-life" rally in October or November of last year (went undercover for my local Planned Parenthood affiliate, thanks), he went around making snarky comments about it on other people's blogs. That's what this made me think of.
I've killfiled people on mailing lists or BBSes that I just couldn't stand because the community positives were higher than the negatives of the individual's presence, but blogging feuds? Why bother? Shut the browser window and get on with your life.
the only flamers i ever get are fellow sufferers of mental illness who can't sustain the amount of attention span required to keep a decent war up.
and that's what i love about 'em.
people anal retentive enough to actually keep notes or a score of some kind usually run screaming from my blog after the first couple of sentences. it's pretty much pure chaos.
if somebody actually held a grudge against me or told people not to link me, i think i'd have a sally field style orgasm. but i'm likely ever to get noticed that much.
Don't make me bring the cage down on the ring, don't make me do it!

Blog feuds. feh.
Some of it is to build traffic. And some is because folks can be obnoxious fucks.
And actually, I'm a heartbeat from banning a particular person who seems to come from the "first one who gets pissed loses" school of debate--sociopolitical dozens, man. He just found out I sing that song:
P6, I been trying to build up heel heat with a feud with Oliver Willis, but he usually refuses to take the bait. Damn him.
Scott, don't make me pull out my JOB Squad t-shirt.
(1-2-3 4 Life, baby!)
Not that I would J.O.B. on the P.P.V. to the S.C.O. double T.
r@d@r, I still say the Golden Age of Flaming was on USENET, before this stupid WWW thingee came along, and suddenly it was Three Septembers and a January all year 'round. . .
Damn, do I need coffee.
Ginger, hadn't thought about the folks I've had to IP ban and suchlike in this context. Good point.
