While I’m not applying for an executive position in the Anonymous Cowards group, it’s rather hard to read a rant like Schenker’s without wanting to find a good sized 2x4 cluestick to whack those such as him up alongside the head to facilitate bringing a clue to their conscious attention. So I couldn’t resist going over to the “Publius Forum”, having never been there before, just to get an idea of the place.
Fortunately for me and the security of my computer, I run Linux and Firefox with NoScript, AdBlock+, Ghostery and other fine products that act as cyber condoms for my machine. Wandering about through all the ads that weren’t blocked, I did find the following on the ‘about’ page. While you read it, please try to suppress any major giggles, gleeful snorts or guffaws that blatant hypocrisy and bigotry usually bring forth:
>> “This is not a “democracy,” folks. It’s benevolent dictatorship. If I don’t like you or your comments, they will be deleted. To those left-wing hatemongers out there, people don’t come to this webpage to read your misspelled, grammatically challenged drivel. They come here to read the main works, not your fine efforts to reveal your own stupidity. If in your comment you curse, you’re gone. If you act like a jerk, you’re gone. If you start calling people Hitler (as you loony leftists are wont to do at every turn), you’re gone. Chances are if you are relatively sane, your reply will stay. But if you act like a normal liberal — i.e. a distempered, half educated, jerkoff — you’ll be canceled, deleted, blocked, and with malice.
Whine all you want. I just don’t care. You want to spew your braindead, garbage go back to the DailysCuz or the Dummicratic Underground or re-join the profane morons at Wankette. You’ll fit in better there. Here we want elevated discussion not your normal liberal blather. If you can’t be civil and intelligent, lefties, you aren’t welcome here.
So, don’t be all shocked when I delete you and your left-wing blah, blah, OK? My board, my rules. Don’t like it, lefties? Here’s an idea… DON’T come back.” <<
So, Marc Schenker, I don’t care who you write for, part-time or full time. If you write the material, YOU own the copyright, not the Examiner or Publius Forum, or whomever. YOU have the complete rights and authority to post the full content on Free Republic of your rants, puerile diatribes or whatever. Don’t hide behind the Examiner legal smokescreen that you have to post only an excerpt. YOU, Sir, are pimping your blog on Free Republic and Mr. Robinson has every much right on HIS site, as Mr. Huston does on his, to condone or facilitate comments pointing out that you are indeed pimping your blog posts— which are true.
Don’t like it? Then you really should heed the words of Mr. Huston, quoted above, which apply just as much at FR and from Mr. Robinson: “Whine all you want. I just don’t care.”
Oh, and just a quick note. Your dermatologist called and said your skin thickening cream that everyone prescribed for you is on backorder. Maybe you can just try to grow some balls in the meantime.
