I haaaaate those "shit jumps out at you" sites, so I vetted this (headphones off, sound muted, opened in a new tab and let sit for a couple minutes before clicking to the tab) for the rest of us.

It's safe for work and soundless--it's a collection of photoshopping so bad, the results are actually sort of horrifying. Most of Lindy's tags actually are applicable.

i don't understand all the elenchos hate.

is it because he is smarter than you or because he is handsome and articulate?

@ 12, if you think elenchos is smarter than the average slogger, you're not paying attention. (When it comes to the issue of public suicide, particularly regarding the anti-suicide fence they want on Aurora, he's pretty dumb actually.)

His intelligence isn't at issue, though. What he IS, though, is a shrill, hypocritical, childish asswipe, as evidenced by the way he's conducted himself on the panhandling issue. Being disrespectful but demanding respect or else he's gonna block you. Demanding concrete data and facts, then ignoring it when it's presented. Claiming that everyone is guilty of groupthink, but failing to build a rational argument for his case. Contempt for anyone who disagrees with him, but getting butthurt when he's paid in kind. These things are wearisome.

Elenchos has earned the disrespect of a lot of the SLOG community. He has his friends and his defenders, which is fine. But he has a long record of general jerkiness too, and not all of us find that charming.

@11 - sadly, the suicide fence on Aurora Bridge will still result in people plumetting to their deaths on other bridges nearby - won't anyone think of those poor people in their yachts?

@14: Hang on. There's a SLOG community?

Did you just reify that?

@14, "Demanding concrete data and facts, then ignoring it when it's presented."

More like "you call THAT data?"

Folks around here confuse crappy agenda-laden polls of five people with data quite a lot.

Elenchos also has a very dry sense of humor that doesn't always work, but does often enough to make up for the times it does. Jerky, yes, but jerky's the favorite dish of most Sloggers.

No, more like, demanding concrete data and facts, then ignoring it when it's presented. He could say that (and then back it up with a point-by-point reason why) but he hasn't been doing that.

It's not a dry sense of humor, or a healthy skepticism, or what have you. It's exactly what I said it was @ 14.
