I was actually pointing out the fact that a significant portion of BLOGGERS do not have regular jobs. (Gaius, I don’t know if you do, or not – I don’t believe I have ever heard you make reference to it either way. I also don’t know about Gateway Pundit, one of my other favorites…) I apologize if you mistakenly thought my reference was to a political affiliation, and the tendency of those who have that political affiliation to be jobless/minimally employed in careers that allow them to make large amounts of money for hardly any work.

On the other hand, Gaius, if you DO have a regular job, you rock!! I don’t think I could do everything you do and hold down a job. (I guess my reading speed is too slow…)

Nah, we didn’t do “research” to kill Gore – we just publicized what he said. And no, the internet is not free. That is a grand fallacy. Somebody is paying the bills. Somebody has to maintain servers, and communication channels. Gaius PAYS for this site, in one form or another.

And I think Gaius was actually complaining about the fact that you were violating his rules, not that you were spawning “political debate.” Most trolls (both liberal and conservative) are nothing more than seagulls – fly in, make lots of noise, poop on everything, and then leave. If you avoid pooping on things or making too much noise, then we have no problems with political debate. (In fact, another of my favorites just recently had dinner with ONE OF HIS DETRACTORS – he started out as a troll, learned the rules of commenting, became a good source of “the other point of view”, happened to be in the area of the blogger, and they had dinner together. “Can’t we just all get along?”)

Gaius, your metaphor about the party is great, but for the fact that no one invites anyone else to website. You see, the internet is free. I’d have thought that with all the research conservatives did to kill Gore with the “invented the internet” thing, you’d know that.

But I’ll tell you what, since you’re obviously more concerned about manners than actually beginning a political debate, I’ll just keep my comments to myself from now on. That way you can all pat each other on the back in peace and let Gaius do your “research” for you.

Or am I putting words in your mouth, Gaius?

You are like someone invited to a party at someone’s house and complaining long and loud about the party, the host, the host’s family and anything else you can complain about.

And you’re becoming about as welcome.

Madame DeFarge imitators?

Remember all that “It was the best of times, it was the worse of times”?

While Islam websites use hi-tech embedded pixels to pass secret messages, are moonbats, knowing that Cheney is reading their emails
using that tried and true Novelist Charles Dickens’ method to record their plans?

If you’re not willing to step into an arena where you have an actual discussion, why are you even blogging? Why don’t you just keep a diary?

“Dear Diary,
Today I told the world how liberals stink.

Love, Gaius

PS – I’m a REAL american because i think war rules”

Are you simply trying to reach the people that already agree with you so you can pat each other on the back for how very American you are, and how very treasonous all of us weak liberals are? I really don’t get it.

But hey, it’s your dime to waste.

Man up.
