Holy crap. That is wild. It’s like he has a self-destruct gene that’s been activated. BooMan sucks! MSO sucks! Susanbhu sucks! PastorDan sucks! Lets take over the site! Wow.
I’m done playing in that sandbox.
Timaeus is a good guy who flew off the handle.
Increasingly tense over there.
What now? Timaeus got banned? He does have a tendency to fly off the handle, but he’s a basically good guy…
I looked at his profile and he had no posted diaries or comments.
Seemed like he might have been banned.
I suck?
Yeah…
simulating the diarist’s rantings. He was saying something like Kos sucks. Armando sucks. Let’s take over this site! This was my attempt to relate it to BooMan readers.
For the record, I don’t think anyone on this blog or dKos sucks. Maybe my comment sucked. 🙂
I was twitting myself…
It’s a little suprising, Timaeus has never had a troll rated comment. It must be the alcohol talking. You have to belive Timaeus will regret it in the morning.
I don’t know the person who wrote the diary, but there’s a lot of pain there. Something about that issue hurts that person very deeply.
The case is sad enough all ’round without the politicians making a spectacle of it, or failing to give a damn about a black baby who died against the mother’s wishes.
I guess I should post that on the diary.
Re Shiavo: There’s something about this case that bothers me deeply, and that is its seductive quality. I scanned Kos today and was surprised by all the front page stories on the case. The stories were well done. Their quality is indisputable. What bothers me is the overwhelming attention given to the case on a major political blog because major participants have been seduced by the incessant headlines.
The shrill clarions of the Delays and the Frists have called even their rational, otherwise disinterested opponents to dance their frenzied, hypnotic dance.
It’s theatre with a human being. I don’t feel the need to participate.
Yes. Wisely put, Boo.
I missed the diary that you all are talking about but I was also surprised at the amount of diaries on Kos on Terry Schaivo. Surprised as there is really nothing we can do about it whatsoever it seems to me.
The only thing anyone could do is to make sure they have a living will I guess so if something like this happens to you you know it won’t turn into a political football and drag a family through this whole horror and heartbreak. The whole thing has gotten pretty creepy.
I’m guilty of writing one. I foolishly thought that the differences in events related and reaction to Schiavo and Sun Hudson would be a good opportunity for those inclined to point that out.
is now deleted. Wonder by whom?
late last night PST the Diarist was asking “How to delete a diary?”..Pluto Page left a response how to do it. Bob Johnson had very kind words with diarist. My guess is that the Diarist deleted his work.
but I noticed today this afternoon there was another recommended diary that had no title for a while, which is usually what happens when a recommended diary is deleted. Was there anything interesting/amusing there?
Bob Johnson struck again…pulled the plug on his own diary to prove a point.
