Slog - Comments on Flattered http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/flattered Willamette Week deconstructs a Slog post of mine—with footnotes!... Copyright 2008 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 13:40:38 -0800 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 21:25:39 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Comment by Amelia THIS flatters you? I'm hopelessly devoted to you, but you're flattered by THIS?

Secondly, I noticed that PDXers seem to think that because our baby-sister city is getting so much media attention it apparently makes us "psychotic" with ... rage?

Now, it may just be me, but my rage seems to be completely overshadowed by my not even noticing.

i guess if one's ego is fragile enough, any attention seems like flattery

something you've written, fragile ego or no fragile ego.

Also, I dig the cool girl/foreign exchange student analogy.

I'm happy for Portland.

Go Portland.

The Stranger loves to accuse and defame, so as time goes on and karma snowballs, it will gradually lose its inkling of credibility until meta-puff is all that it is left.
Now, please link us to another website, refer us back to another post, and let the waterfall of attention-deficit postings cascade.
Sorry for the jadedness, a friend of my mothers was just struck by a drunk driver last night, and I'm a bit pissed.

There's a big difference between rage and indifference ... as far as I know ... but if you know something that I don't, then by all means, share.

Yes, it's readable at 12 dpi. No, that's not a good excuse.

I guess you can still be indifferent even if you make 2 whole comments about how indifferent you are. It just means you're not indifferent about your indifference.

I was saying 1 and 3 were rageful.
