In the spirit of a holiday named after a wise Jew from the (middle) east, I think it’s only fair to direct you to Simple Justice, where Scott Greenfield has posted a heartfelt thanks for all his fellow blawgers:
Blawgers give of their time, their thoughts, their talents to write. In return, they are told how ignorant and stupid they are by people they don’t know. They are stalked and threatened with physical harm by actual psychotics with keyboards. Why would anyone put up with such abuse? Yet they do, and continue to write.
Aw, Scott, it’s not that bad. I’ve never met most of the people I blog about, and I call them ignorant and stupid all the time. It’s only fair that people say the same thing about me.
Besides, it’s not like they’re going to get a way with it. I’m making a list and checking it twice, if you know what I mean. Someday, everyone’s gonna get theirs who’s got it coming.
But not today, because, you know,
Peace On Earth, Good Will Toward Men.
The vitriol and derision will return tomorrow.
