Adnoto
I have also considered and reflected on the evidence of our exchange. I didn't come to the same conclusion.
-- adnoto
I'm not looking for an apology from you or expecting your "same conclusion". I was simply explaining that you are and have been being disingenuous. Your comment that I am replying to is just one more example. Why one would come back to write 'Moron III', as you have now done, can only be explained by a perpetual inability to realize that their dishonesty is as obvious and as visible as a pimple between the eyes. You really believe that your bullshit flies, and lands without anything but a thud and a stink?
And do you really talk to yourself like you did in the quote in this post? "I have considered and reflected..." Sure. That's how you speak and express yourself on a daily basis. Why is it hard for you to be who you are instead of the creep you come off as in your posts? You can't be as much of the jerk in real life that you come off as on this board.

Maybe you two should fly on over
Adnoto... Maybe [Glenn] flew in to get married?
My guess is that he is writing the end all be all blog post that will finally bring down the BushCo-military-industrial-corporate-joe klein- congressional-media-complex of evildoers! Just you wait...one of these blog essays and the resulting comments (especially LWM's cut and paste jobs and Timberman's "back when I was a revolutionary!" monologues) are sure to send a literary wave of destruction that will reverberate throughout the land, decimating all evildoers in their path. Yay!
To the designated poo flinging place.
Click sig.
It could have been called Unwanted Commentary. You all suck. This blog sucks.

@Adnoto & Kitt
Please wage peace.
This is exactly the sort of mindless pollution of the comments section I meant when I repeatedly pointed out that the blog smog was not generated only by the endless and vitriolic libertarianism wars.

You won't find a word from me in the history of the 'endless and vitriolic libertarianism wars'. So for you, Mona, who has pages and pages in the history of the libertarianism wars', to complain about 'blog smog' to me is not just a little bit out of sync.

@Mona
Thanks. I won't bloviate further ... other than to say that it's ironic how on a blog hosted by such a First Amendment champ, suddenly a bunch of people pop off about who they'd like to see deep-sixed and by what mechanism ... esp when said guy is, as you said, our prose poet, and someone whose posts I read, every single one, every day ... and about whom later arrivals (including me) ought to tread lightly. But Pedinska already said all I could say about community and the value thereof ...

Mona is right...

I think if you polled every reader of this blog you would get many different opinions about what they find annoying. But the bickering, regardless over what, is what most find annoying.
Kitt,
No one here knows better than I how hateful adnoto can be. You and I are no shrinking violets, either. OTOH, he's young and impatient and inexperienced. Mostly mouth, no action.
Adnoto,
You are right to hate me. I work within the system. What I do specifically is none of your business but suffice it to say that I have some involvement in lobbying and advocacy - in an unofficial capacity as of yet. The person I work with, (in an unofficial capacity) has several non-pofits that work in the medical, health and public policy area in California and national legislation. He flies all over the country. He meets with governors, senators and reps. in D.C., in various state capitols. He's quoted in the local papers, on TV and radio. A few weeks ago we were driving to the store and his cell phone rang. It's always ringing. It was the Governor calling him, from the airport in LA, personally, to let him know that a proclamation he had been requesting had just been signed. It's just a proclamation, but we work to get health legislation passed that will benefit the citizens of our state, and hopefully, serve as a model for other states, and maybe the federal govt.
This may not seem like a big deal to you. It may seem like consorting with the enemy, but then... how many governors have your personal cell phone number on their speed dial. Maybe you don't even own a cell phone.
"If you are not a part of the solution, you are part of the problem!"
Sure. Keep repeating that. You'll never have to come up with any solutions. Berating people here will solve everything.
but then... how many governors have your personal cell phone number on their speed dial.

Arriving late, but I'd like to correct a misunderstanding
Rowan Berkeley, I puzzled over your comment about my insinuations, but then I realized that you were talking about last night. Honestly, I wasn't attempting a dig at you for the content of your posts, which I found very interesting.
Rather, I realized that it might take quite a bit of writing on both our parts to come to the point of not talking past one another, even supposing it to be possible. I like these kinds of discussions more than many others here, who have faulted me the past for my part in them. What some consider irrelevant, I often think of as a broadening of the scope of some topics. Both views have merit, but given that it's Glenn's blog, I feel that I shouldn't stray too far from the public taste, or at least not often enough to piss people off.
That is what I was on about -- a note to myself, not a criticism of you or your riffs on Zionism, which I definitely do consider germane to the topic of William Kristol's axe-grinding shop, even when I disagree with them.
