Come up from the basement once in a while.

Then what the hell ARE we talking about here? I mean, goddamn...

Somebody censor Charles Mudede NOW for being off-topic.
Fnarf, Clear Thoughts, everybody else involved...
We've been HAD...

Damn you Charles. Damn you and your insane ambitions to get into the "Most Commented" list.

Why are you so mad? Are people ruining your blogging experience?

Will in Seattle is Plato next to you.

Just because you don't care doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed. In fact, the entire conversation about why a blog would only impose the off-topic deletion rule when the specific topic is related to the actions of one of its employees is worth discussing. If you don't like it, don't read it, or more constructively push The Stranger to address it so there is a discussion.

Yeah, but aren't you just perpetuating and enabling the motherfuckers you so clearly despise? Is it really necessary? Slog moderators clearly do not have a hard time deleting comments they deem off-topic. To what end do you post your tirades?

And whats with all the adolescent name calling? If you eliminated your dickish insults from your comments they would simultaneously become half as long and twice as readable, not to mention relevant.

Fact of the matter is that not one person contributes more pubescent idiocy to Slog than you do.

Hey let's go argue and get censored somewhere else now, guys!!!

On topic: the link to the review of Witch Mountain still takes me to a review for some other movie entirely. To be honest, I never even read your review, Charles.

THAT was the topic. You can't just use "off-topic" as a slur for someone you disagree with.

UNLESS you're talking about Witch Mountain.

Hey, did ANYBODY see it except Charles?

The topic at hand is why a certain crowd of fuckwits think it's appropriate to hijack every motherfucking thread with their idiocy. My comments were a response to that. That's how conversations work. You bust into people's houses and shit on their carpet and they're going to take steps to hurt you. That's not off-topic.

Off-topic is hijacking the thread. Responding to the hijack with frustration and anger is absolutely ON.

The code's free. Nothing wrong with using industrial strength LAMP servers to host it - heck even Cisco is going that route.

Your supposition is false; I don't give a shit what Joel Connelly does or doesn't do, professionally or privately.

But anyways: the appropriate response here would be for JOEL CONNELLY to put up something on HIS blog, and then all you shitheads could post whatever it is you're trying to say over there. If you could articulate it, but of course you can't, because your brains aren't turned on.

Hey, why doesn't the Weekly write something about it? Oh, yeah, they did. But no one reads the Weekly blogs, so it hasn't made enough of a smell for shit-sniffers like you.

The Stranger sets the agenda for Slog articles. Not you. If they say it's none of your business, it's none of your business. Life isn't that kind of contest. "Oooh, it's unfair" marks you as a no-particularly-bright middle-schooler, one with unusually poor manners to boot.

You're an ape. Your attempt to participate in the public discourse is a laughable failure.
Posted by Fnarf]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:51:17 -0700 The Stranger
Well, um, yeah. OK. I read that a couple of times and though I'm not nearly as incisive as yourself I still failed to see where you addressed the question I posed. Why the double standard? Why do you berate people for being off-topic by posting comment after comment that it is in fact off-topic?

Your just a troll with an endorsement.

You're right, I should have said "potentially libel". Sorry. Ginter broadcasted her slander with the express permission and aid of her employer. This is a world apart from the situation you are bringing up with ECB.

On topic: Witch Mountain is precisely the kind of light-hearted escapist fiction that people enjoy most in hard economic times.

Off topic: Fnarf is clearly angry. So is Clear Thoughts. Apparently, nobody gives a damn about Witch Mountain.

Discuss.
Don't get censored or it doesn't count towards the "Most Commented" score. We need about a dozen more comments in order to get Charles bumped up into the list that Dan Savage is always hoarding.
