If I don't like a blog host I simply do not go to the site and comment. I think it's bad form to poop in the blog host's sandbox. Honest disagreement is fine, but gratuitous insults are not.

Charles Pier...Just posted this in Banter comments:<br /><br />Charles Pierce -- whose extraordinarily good work I read on a five-day-a-week daily basis -- twitted Greenwald and Snowden mildly when the NSA stories first began breaking. He evinced a healthy and very journalistic skepticism toward both, just as he casts a squinty eye on most stories and figures in the news before he makes up his mind about them. But he now, unfortunately, does not at all spend a lot of time ridiculing Greenwald, but has chosen instead to place Greenwald's more than obvious thin-skinned, one-note and all-too-often hyperbolically prevaricating figure in his blind spot, using Greenwald's name most often these days only to preemptively slap down any one of his Esquire followers who would argue that, while the NSA and the surveillance state amount to a wholly alarming and deplorable issue, it is just perhaps not THE most important issue when ranked against the economic rape of the country, the takeover of the political process through corporate fiat, the reversal of civil rights and equal-rights legislation, the proliferation of guns and gun nuts, the degrading of the social safety net, and I could go on, but I won't. All that said, I will STILL read Charlie every day, admire roughly 99.9% of what he has to say and recommend everyone read him.<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300961605043014522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-84457625607414402092014-03-21T01:45:10.311-05:002014-03-21T01:45:10.311-05:00I love your work Drifty.

Oh, I know a flatula of purity trolls will show up to argue that the Dems absolutely, positively, will, if given the chance, do all kinds of horrible things to the poors & the olds if only they get the opportunity but looking at the reality of who is actually trying to hurt people (hint: not Dems; looking at you Paul Ryan) all I can say is fuck you morons.marindenverhttp://www.rumproast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-42059627694691298682014-03-20T23:31:47.771-05:002014-03-20T23:31:47.771-05:00Perhaps you know the answer to this question, (I w...Perhaps you know the answer to this question, (I would ask it at the "Banter", but I don't comment over there anymore.
