increasing misanthropy

[liadnan]

In one and the same day I have been irritated beyond measure by (a) twitter, which increasingly seems to be a forum existing mainly so that smug celebs, -and wannabees- can start bandwagons for people to fall over themselves to jump on without bothering to stop and think in the process - the fact my own knee-jerk sentiments may sometimes be with the resulting mob doesn't make it better - and (b) epic length tedious essays on email lists - which would still be tedious even if they weren't tendentious. Which in this particular case they are.

The internet was a bad idea and must be stopped.

Good luck with that one.

But of whom could you be speaking? I'm about to wade in. See you on the other side.

You are Eeyore and I claim my five pounds. Ignore the celebs on Twitter, there's not enough sanity points in the universe to cope with them. And yes, Mr M on List is dull as ditchwater and both misinformed and horribly opinionated. Thank god AC hasn't thrown his hat in. Although knowing him, it won't be long before he does.

I considered earlier today adding him to the William killfile, but didn't quite go that far. I'll likely hit mute soon on that thread.

you (and others) are doing a sterling job. I haven't the patience or, frankly, the sanity to Fisk him properly.

You only say that because you haven’t adopted a Kantian approach to quantum mechanics!
