Tribute To A Fallen Blogger

From the Herald:
The scope of Moammar Gadhafi's control was whittled away Wednesday…
Are they serious?

But then again, maybe I am just seriously depressive and cynical.

"Gadhafi"!

They can't even spell.

To me this is just adding insult to injury.

I guess others would say their hearts are in the right place, and post-modernists (i.e. all current educationists) would say we mustn't let such tiresome things like correct spelling get in the way of creativity.

Sorry, I just find the whole Libyan uprising terribly cruel, depressing, crushing, and awful.

    Sorry, no idea to make the link a hyper-one.

  2. Nathaniel,

    Scott is making reference to this post and comment thread: http://www.pundit.co.nz/content/kia-kaha-christchurch

    Incidentally, it is both the most read and most commented upon post that Pundit has done. Go figure.

  4. How dare you, you heartless bastard! The Gaddafi's are having a terrible week and you're mocking them for spelling?

  5. Da-amn. It's incredibly difficult to accept that comment as real. I know it is, but...

I welcome comments, but I ask commenters to follow a few simple rules:

1. I delete anonymous comments. Please use either a name or moniker. I am not asking anyone to reveal their secret identity. Just don't call yourself "Anonymous".
2. Please don't abuse or defame others.
3. Moronic or nonsensical comments may be deleted.
4. I don't often exercise the heavy hand of censorship, but I do reserve the right to delete any comment I don't like, for any reason.
