Wow, we have our first flamer. A new entry from our comments page, hot off the digital press:

Quite simply… I’m sorry that I’ve wasted even a minute of my time reading the drivel from these mundane egocentric fools.

Why anybody even visits this site, (unless the innocently stumble across it like myself and leave quicker than I did), is completely beyond me.

You guys need to step away from your computers long enough to realize that the world is more than your simplistic opinions. My greatest fear is that some day I’ll be in a horrible accident that causes great brain damage that drops me to a IQ around your combined levels.

We’ve never pretended this blog is any great intellectual undertaking, or even claimed that our opinions are particularly privileged interpretations of the world — so I have to wonder why this guy is so angry. When I stumble across a site that doesn’t interest me or that I find particularly witless and uninformed, I just leave. If the authors are idiots, why would I care whether they know that I think they’re idiots? On the other hand, if I stumbled across a poor argument involving an issue I cared about, and I had an informed opinion of my own, I might present an actual counterargument if a forum existed for me to do so — something this guy fails (or is unable) to do.

A nonspecific spewing of vitriol with only a first name as a personal identifier, and even more tellingly, no contact info, demonstrates a lack of commitment and accountability. This shows, once again, that what we say about others — and how we say it — reveals more about ourselves than our targets.
