Seriously. It’s a brutal game. By putting your thoughts out there, you leave yourself open to all kinds of bullshit, from disagreeing critics to flamers and trolls to potential rapists. Once you put your ideas out on the web, they’re not your own anymore, and everything is up for criticism.
Which is why I don’t understand why pantywaist fairies with thin skin think they can make it in the blogging world, let alone the political world. It’s BRUTAL! Many is the night I’ve gone to bed asking myself if I have the balls to carry on with this blog. And I’ve had to remind myself that the critics only exist because I feed them.
Such is the blogging life.
The thing is, if you’re going to threaten to sue every single person who disagrees with you or makes fun of you, you’re going to ruin your life with bitterness and hate. Yes, there will always be legitimate cases of libel or valid threats to life that some bloggers have to deal with. But then you get happy SLAPPers like Warren Kinsella and Richard Warman, who get a bug up their tight little asses every time their names are mentioned. It’s pretty funny, when you consider that they made themselves public figures; Warman with his crusades and Kinsella with his political… well, whatever it is he does.
Take for example the kinds of comments he received on his most recent article for the Ottawa Sun. Some of them are pretty scathing. Is Kinsella going to call Quebecor and ask for the names and IP addresses of every negative commentator? If that’s the way he feels, perhaps it’s time to retire from public life.
Warman sues anyone who calls him a censor, effectively censoring them, but is completely devoid of irony when he does it. Kinsella sues anyone who calls him a douchebag, even though truth is an absolute defence.
No wonder they’re friends. No one else will have them.
What does the Lying Jackal actually do these days? I can’t imagine there is a political campaign anywhere so desperate and stupid they would let him stuff envelopes. McSquinty can’t be dumb enough to take his advice.
So I guess suing people fills his time. Of course, to sue someone they have to have said something defamatory and, well, untrue. A fact apparently lost on a guy with a lot of time on his hands. Perhaps he should get Skippy to teach him a few recherche techniques for the surprise (and likely terror) of his traveling companion.
Well, I certainly appreciate your efforts, I know I wouldn’t have the energy to keep up with all the threats and vitriol that must come your way, hell, I’ve got barely enough stomach to read all the shit that the MSM won’t print. Just saw a video elsewhere of an eight year old kid getting strip-searched by TSA goons. It made my blood boil, and I had to hit the emergency Vodka rations. Thank You, RG!
Who luvs ya babes?!
You hoe a tough row but keep up the good fight. Your publicly expressed views are important to us.
sometimes, you’ve just got to rape something. And I mean in a “don’t take ‘no’ for an answer way. not the uglyheavybreathingloser kind of way.
Keep it up, we’re out here reading and supporting still.
Just a quick note to this….. you’ll notice now that commenting at The Sun requires a Facebook account. This only came about after WK started “writing” there. Somebody did point it out in his comments some time back that there was no requirement at The Sun. He said he would look into it…..
