Naw, I didn't see that. It's a safe bet that when JR-Freki claims to have read something that she's lying, it's only slightly more safe a bet than to figure that when she says anything that she's lying, it's what she does.
I said that I wouldn't take the Wall Street Journal seriously on topics of religion until it became their editorial policy that what we do to the least among us we do to God. And she says that what I said sounds like Trump with a vocabulary. Since Simps seems to have left that out of his cherry picked and edited passage, that's probably the most she read of what I said.
In the end it's all about Brit-style class enforcement to her. Britatheism is one of the most superficial of all pseudo-intellectual traditions. She's a bourgeois Lady Bracknell who just spouts a slightly different line of ignorant and bigoted categorical statements.
Such stuff is what turned Eschaton from what it was a decade ago into the tight little cult of true believing dolts it started to become about that time. It's not an uncommon phenomenon of comment driven online media, it is probably unsurprising that that is what a lot of that turns into. Especially when the owner makes money by serving the audience he attracts. Atrios is the one who doesn't like it when people upset the in-crowd opinion of those who click onto his site with something they don't like. In the end he tries to balance who is going to decrease his revenue more against who is going to be next to leave. It's a Black hole.
Update: Oh, who cares, it's Stupy, nothing he says is significant. He's just sore that I kicked his ass last week. Again. Nothing any of the Eschatots say is significant. There are more people listening to the crappy AM station out of the tiny town next to mine that no one listens to right now than read what Stupy says in a given week.
Poor quality drives out good. I was at Big Blue long before the current crowd was there, and it was a good place.
ReplyDeleteThen the barbarians slunk in and anybody worthwhile left. I'm surprised it still functions at all.
