To some extend he's back to his old self, not completely but better than he was for a while.<BR/><BR/>But the sheer number of trolls there now is annoying.

Which is why I listen to some of the conservative talk radio commenters locally, too.<BR/><BR/>Besides, there's always the everlovin' bacon discussions on the Whatever... (grin)<BR/><BR/>But I do enjoy coming around Stonekettle Station and reading both the serious and decidedly not-so-serious discussions here.<BR/><BR/>Dr. PhilDr. Phil (Physics)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11943336276878704753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-31999451415520651242008-11-05T14:23:00.000-06:002008-11-05T14:23:00.000-06:00Steve, they won't, of course. I've finally decided...Steve, they won't, of course. <BR/><BR/>I've finally decided that what I really don't like about the Whatever is precisely that - the nature of the commenters. Strangely, the commenters are what drew me to Scalzi's site in the first place, people like you, and Chang, and Janiece, and Dr Phil. People used to disagree, but they did it respectfully, intelligently, and with class. The comments were funny and entertaining and insightful, many of them anyway. Now, now it's more and more the same assholes who comment everywhere else. Scalzi could say the sky is blue and some dickhead just has tell him and the rest of us why it's only that way because the Supreme court illegally made it that way from the bench. <BR/><BR/>The Whatever trolls are just stupid and ignorant - like the one the other day who was arguing that California isn't a republic. It's like reading a Walter Wagner post, or a COS screed. <BR/><BR/>It puts me off and takes a lot of the pleasure out of the site for me.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-64069334422757392362008-11-05T14:14:00.000-06:002008-11-05T14:14:00.000-06:00Along with a popular majority.
