I got punished by Sam Hill the other night, he evicted me from his ping list! Seeing him in action here makes me glad. I guess you could say I was a Sam Hillbot until then, I thought his stuff was solid. He provides original material, and that is what we signed up for.
He used his ping list to gang-pile on another FReeper. His position in that argument appears to have been correct, but calling in the posse (who never showed up!) was weak. I got FReepmails thanking me for speaking up, Sam Hill "has gotten too big for his britches" was the comment that stuck out the most.

I responded at #572, and by #575 it was ovah!
Oy, you're a mendacious wretch! I was on that thread; you came into the thread half-cocked and assumed he was "gang-piling" on an (abusive) poster. You patronizingly asked him not to ping you "this way again." So he took you off.
Tonite you're in here like a jilted lover quibbling with SH with your silly rhetorical suppositions "Does her rhetoric help? I do not think it does . . . it is lowbrow and it is not appreciated by the masses, who by the way, are voters. So do the math again on how turning off voters helps win elections?"
I don't know how to spell it out any clearer than this: NUMBER 1 NY TIMES BEST SELLER. You don't think it's "appreciated by the masses?" And you know this how? I suppose 50,000 people (so far) putting down cash to buy the thing indicates what?
All you are is some initials on a screen and you've figured out how to become a best-selling author. Your hauteur would be breathtaking if you weren't such a pathetic twit.
Your opinion of AC is obviously colored by your immature reaction to Sam Hill. Go ahead and flatter yourself with your banal locutions and leave the SH to his important work.
After seeing what has transpired in this thread, I trust you will be more sceptical in the future.
