   His commenters aren’t doing much better. He went through with what he threatened here. How is that for eating your own?

   Sorry I’m bad at linking.  Could you remove the “http:///cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/” from those addresses so they work?

   Thanks a fucking lot for those links.  I just spent over an hour scrolling through all of those comment threads, and I am appreciably dummer for having dun so.  Damn, those moonbats are still frothing over someone posting a link.  Wouldn’t this whole scenario, ie. the intent of an author, be a case study in intentionalism ?

   Dan, just wanted to thank you for the support.  Granted, I think it’ll make them hate me more … but I appreciate it nonetheless.

   JD, yes, intentionality is still the operative principle here.  I could go into it, but I’m off to explain to my superiors about the unintended consequences of writing under your own name.  (You know, like letters about you being a Jewish white supremacist.  I mean, I’m self-loathing, but I’m not that self-loathing.)

   SEK – You were putting up a good fight over there.  You are experiencing what it is like to argue with the proverbial moonbat – where emotion and feeling trump logic and facts. 

   Dan – You owe me at least 1.5 hours of my life back.

   SEK – It seems you also experienced one of the classic leftist positions.  If race is the topic, if you do not agree with them, you are a racist, no matter how absurd their position is.

   lol.  Well remember that we still like you, Scott.

   May not agree with you, but we like you.

   Keep an eye on that Ilkya. Sure, you’re right now. But when it’s her ox that’s been gored, you’ll be right back to patriarchal rat bastard.

   Good God.

   The whole fratricidal clusterfuck was hilarious (except for the fact that the NiT blogger felt forced to quit), until this ridiculous shit.  This shit with calling/writing people’s employers because of a stupid difference of opinion is what I hate the most about the stupid blogosphere.  And this–calling SEK a “white supremacist” is possibly the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen on teh intarweb.

   Scott:  Hope you don’t take any additional heat from unhinged losers for having support from unenlightened wingnuts like us. 
   
   This went way beyond the political to the personal a long time ago, anyway.

   The silver lining:  People like “Ghost of Adolph Rupp” (irony! intentionalism! context!) are such assholes that they’re probably miserable in real life and will end up getting what’s coming to ‘em eventually.  Karma’s a bitch, etc.

    Also, Scott–I think you’ve got some new material for the next course you teach on the importance of context.

    I always figured Jesus’ General would be thinner. You know, all that hiking in an arid climate…
