I've been a fan of yours, DG, since you hung out your bloggery shingle lo those many years ago, and you've FINALLY written something with which I disagree.<br /><br /><i> Mr. Coates is a strong and eloquent writer whose command of the subject of race + culture + history is <b>incomparable.</b></i><br /><br />I can think of exactly one writer whose command of that particular trifecta of subjects compared favorably to that of Mr. Coates - meeting or possibly even exceeding it.<br /><br />Fuck the Fucking Yankees, Driftglass.

Please ...Once again, Geese forgot his snark tags. <br /><br />Please pay close attention, Geese.<br /><br />THIS IS TEXT.<br /><br />Without the visual and auditory cues of personal presence, it is difficult to distinguish between sarcasm, satire, parody, etc. and authentic support of a distasteful idea.<br /><br />Hence, you need some sort of TEXTUAL indication that you are using sarcasm. Since the wretched blogging and comment system known as Blogger uses the arrow symbols for genuine tags, I use brackets for "snark tags", for example:<br /><br />[snark] for the beginning of sarcasm, and<br /><br />[/snark] for the end of sarcasm.<br /><br />You might want to try this, for the sake of your reputation.Ivory Bill Woodpeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318699512583970467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-6064172323700058192015-06-25T05:50:37.658-05:002015-06-25T05:50:37.658-05:00They could not managed to removed the Confederate ...They could not managed to removed the Confederate Flag even for the few moments when Rev.

They are one and the same. And to deny that, is just as much of a lie as to deny that conservatism and racism is wrong. And the only people who deny this are those who refuse to admit that we need to slay religion before we can slay conservatism. Those are the moderates that need to be taken out economically first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
