A few days ago in a thread on a post I didn’t write, I edited a couple of comments by one of PW’s regulars, in a misguided and inappropriate attempt to correct yet another instance of that individual’s all-too-predictable behavior on a particular issue.
I should not have done that, and before I try to participate in anything further here I need to extend my apologies to Jeff, our host; to the co-blogger who wrote the post, and to the other commenters who were taking part in that thread.
I set my own rules for ten years on my own site, but this isn’t my site and the rules are Jeff’s, not mine. And I want to continue posting here so I’m saying, on the record, that it will not happen again.
Meanwhile, I’m on vacation and I want to enjoy it, so I’ll continue to do my best to avoid encountering any more passive-aggressive “I’m-only-thwee-and-a-half-years-old” shtick from grown men with full-time jobs.
Have fun on vacation.
It is sometimes very difficult to ignore what comes out of that particular commenter.
“Zen and the Art of Threadjacking”, by P. I. Kachu, soon to be found on Amazon or other fine booksellers near you.
It’s okay, McGehee. Enjoy your vacation! See you soon!
have a happy vacation Mr. McGehee
I’ve done worse.
Be safe.
But, you’re not gay, and you haven’t eaten a dog! So there’s that!
Oh what a happy feat you have achieved.
What?
Not the first time one of us has been driven to distraction by the electric vermin. I just remind myself that he’s a marketing expert, and this is his super-special way of winning me over to his product and/or service. Much like how health experts have convinced me to eat more fat and drink more booze than I ever thought I’d want to.
Enjoy the vacation, mate. Do everything the experts tell you to avoid!
I thought editing comments was OK as long as you made them funny.

I just scroll on by when I see that puerile avatar.
Heppyfeet is the most bestest Ambassador of Cock the world has ever seen. Set him loose in Saudi Arabia and there would be bath houses in Mecca by the end of the week, I say.
i sense sarcasm
Yeah — I’m guessing it would take you a month, maybe six weeks to get the bathhouses open in Mecca.
I thought the Saudis simply repair to the camel ranches?
Squid is probably right. A week to build the consensus, 5 weeks for the Pakistani laborers to don Village People costumes and build the things.
Oh, sorry, McG. I didn’t notice at first that you mentioned me in this post.
No need to apologize on my account. Not my blog either and it didn’t bother me anyways.
Have fun on your trip.
Happyfeet is the moralistic scold he imagines the christers are, only (in his mind) hipper.
Projection or something, I don’t know.
Anyway, you need to learn to skim over the yellow rat, it’s a valuable skill to master, with many applications. Like being a parent.
You have nothing to apolgize for IMHO. The caricature is blog noise. Unlike LBascom I dislike having to manually skim the comments… though I must admit it is a very handy skill to learn.
or apologize for – as it were.
Thanks, all. I still mean it though.
