Get a Grip
Just so’s we’re all aware here:
Bullets aren’t going to come flying out of your damned monitor.
You, therefore, cannot be assassinated on the internet.
Likewise, “blog war” is a pretty stupid term as well, and only indicates that the folks that use it without an appropriate sense of scale have a limited grasp on what “real war” is like.
Disagreeing in text form with something someone else has typed is not “silencing.” To pretend that’s the case is pretty much the same thing as belittling actual instances of silencing—ya know? The kind where tyrannical governments murder people and destroy evidence?
Look, y’all. The internet is broken down as follows: 70% porn, 10% pictures of cats, 9% MySpace, 5% YouTube, 5% useful information, and 1% blogs.
That, my friends, is not the make up of a battlefield.
My advice to anyone that feels assassinated, silenced, or wartorn is to, I dunno… go outside for a little while. Get some fresh air.
Maybe get some perspective.

Especially when there’s some real, honest to god threatening blog remarks out there.

...heh. apparently she really IS “nonpartisan” in that conservatives think her cheese has slipped its cracker too:

Three Bulls!/Pinko Punko are often funny about her as well. (he’s the one who has crowned her “Qu’emu.”)
