It's genuinely fun to be Twitchy Villain of the Day. An orgy of incoherent rage builds all day in your timeline until it exhausts itself.
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) March 26, 2015Being whammed on all day by single-minded, single-issue, incoherent, rage-drunk zealots who only ever show up and leave as directed may be lot of things, but I would not describe it as "genuinely fun".

OK, there's that - but consider the source: Greenwald knows all about orgies of incoherent rage and he does seem to enjoy them rather.
Before the inevitable rush of blithering stupid, let's all ask a question of ourselves:
Why can DG post about David Fucking Brooks, or Tom Friedman, or Andrew Sullivan, or any of the dozens of other regular suspects whom he regularly fustigates, and nobody accuses him of anything other than perhaps a bit of self-flagellating masochism...
...but if he makes one post about Glennie Pie, he's "obsessed"?
Do you suppose he missed the lesson in preschool where they teach you that there's good attention and there's bad attention?

I can't speak for other "blithering, stupid" people, but I don't think Drifty is obsessed with GG. If he's obsessed with anyone, it's Brooks--not that Brooks doesn't deserve Drifty's denunciations.
I do fail to comprehend, however, why Drifty and Victor put GG---whom I have only known as a denouncer of the Imperial Capitalist Warfare State--in the same category with Sullivan, Brooks, and Friedman, all of whom are faithful apologists for that State.
No matter how many fucking times we explain it to you, Monster from the Fever Swamps, you refuse to listen.
You are not worth the effort.
"'Shut up'", he explained."
I wish I were half as evil as Victor thinks I am; I'd probably be more successful. :D
