ReplyDeleteWell... some of you said you wanted comments. So, here we go. Welcome to "civil discourse" in 2018. God, help us.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? Themyscira?

ReplyDeletePlease don’t remove the comments. We are adults. We can tell the difference between sincere opinion and dribble likely to be read in crayon-written pro se pleadings. Your blog without the comments was just too dry. But lord knows we all needed that break after the last crazy election cycle. Anon!
Anon, I will continue to flush comments as necessary -- but, bowing to popular demand, I will make an effort to pass through some of the more, er, robust comments. For as long as I can stomach them.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about the Internet that turns otherwise rational, well-educated men and women into drooling, hateful monsters? I'm not just talking about my poor blog -- where anonymity, certainly, is part of the attraction -- I'm talking about Facebook, where, despite having to post under a name, often the same, clearly-identifiable name on their law licenses, people casually spew the most vile things. And then there's that sewer called Twitter. Why? Don't people realize that they may be damaging themselves by giving unfiltered vent to their most visceral reactions?
Oh, sure, this is the 'culture' to which we have descended. Everyone is doing it. So it must be OK.
But it's not OK. Why do people think it is?
Jack:
ReplyDeleteYour blog is like a voting booth. It is here where we can allow our IDs to run free and unleash on the egos of our oppressors. Come on, Jack, you know it’s true. #dumpthemall2018
I voted today! I retained Coghlan and voted to dump all the rest. Thanks for that advice JAPAC!
ReplyDeleteI did what JAPAC said and dumped Santiago.
