Comments on: Isn’t it considered bad form to beat up a 13-year-old when you’re a grown-up?

Beth, you have such a way with words my lady. While making the same point I think just about everyone is either thinking or said, you just sound so diplomatic. Ever think about running for office?

I like “pulling a Jordan”, Beth. I can see it catching on like wildfire. Kind of like calling Oliver Willis “Baghdad Blob.”

Do you know how many times I’ve been kicked out of the Democrappy Underground just for pointing out what clueless morons they are?

Preston – you’re right. Kicking ass is never the answer. Plus, staying out of jail is key to me staying employed.

Jordan – I know you don’t need more advice on how you handled that situation but you should have thought about what you were saying before you said it. The magic of cyberspace is that you can consider your words before you type them. Trust me, I’ve learned that lesson the hard way. (Which is just like your way.)

I don’t give a rat’s ass if that schoolyard bully Jordan apologized–he only apologized for calling the kid a “bastard.” He didn’t apologize for being a DICK and sticking his nose in where it didn’t belong in the first place. Fucking crybaby. “Waaaaah, he’s getting all the Instapundit traffic, waaah!”
I think this calls for a new phrase to be coined, a la LGF’s “Fisking”.

“Wow, look at (insert blogger name here) pulling a Jordan.”

Poor kid. Learning his lesson in childishness from people twice his age or more. Come on…:roll:

But, of course, funny nonetheless that everyone took it and ran!

Let me give you a non-blog-junky opinion. Jordan acts like there are copyright laws and on the internet, similar to print. While this may be true, it is also true only when caught. Even then, the rules and laws of the internet are vastly different than print because of the anonymity. The blog craze is so new, that there are no hard and fast rules of etiquite. Cut the kid some slack and get a real publishing job.

Now, I don’t know the blog Cheese and Crackers (no link for soon to be obvious reasons) and I’m not going to go out of my way to read it.

I sincerely apologize for the “bastard” comment. It was out of line and unnecessary. I was hot under the collar and I should have waited until I had calmed down to post on the topic.

Matt and B4B should not be dragged through the muck for that comment, that was my comment, not his.

Really, the entire issue was my doing. Matt mentioned to me that his image got instalanched at another site. I had been in contact with Austin before over other things including the Tsunami videos. I overreacted. Again, I apologize.

From Digger, who I respect more and more every day. InstaProp Bro! The Internet is an unforgiving beast and when you screw over a teen who likes to write and get involved in things by calling him a bastard, phoning…
