Ed Dolan the Great on Culture
"Edward Dolan" writes:
I am not nearly so stupid as you imagine. Right now, I can think of a hundred ways to insult you, but who gives a damn about any of this nonsense. I cast pearls before swine such as yourself - as always on the wonderful world of Usenet. Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota I doubt anybody here really thinks that you're stupid. Certainly, you're knowledgeable about politics and on-topic matters. But you're like the Republican version of Keith Olbermann, with a keen sense of operatic drama and a propensity to overstate your case (often unnecessarily) while making repugnant remarks that embolden those who don't agree with you and seemingly disgusting some of those who would actually like to agree with you. Essentially, you're arrogant, which is easy to confuse with stupid. The usenet and blogosphere are full of people just like you, who get strength from digital distance that begets the notion that the internet is ultimate embodiment of the free speech principles addressed in the First Amendment because you can say whatever you want without consequence, as though that is what "free speech" in a society is all about. We live in an ordered society that protects you from being beaten or jailed for being as asshole, but society is entitled to admonish and pressure you into tolerable levels of non-conformity. What you want is free speech anarchy, but you'd just get your ass kicked in that environment. |
