LOL! He should probably have had someone else explain your comments to him before he posted that. Now he looks like a complete moron. But we maybe shouldn’t be too hard on him. He’s probably just a product of No Child Left Behind.
Maybe the anti-Radley post is actually a hysterical reverse-satire.
One thing people need to write to gillespie about is getting him to call the creditors off my ass for not keeping up with my mail for a few months and forgetting to pay for something i didn’t ask to be continued
SO THERE, DON’T GIVE ME A FREE ISSUE THEN ASSUME I WANT MORE IF I DON’T PAY! You’d think a Libertarian rag would _get_ that.
If only there were a font dedicated to sarcasm. I suggest Times New Roman.
“I’m so freaking mad at the idiocy around me that I feel like screaming.”
Seconded.
The internet is a deeply scary place.
Also, Scott Morgan = Pig/Antichrist?
I’m lovin that pic Radley. How have you not had that thing at the top of your blog this whole time?
What sad times we live in when people are incapable of recognizing satire.
“What sad times we live in when people are incapable of recognizing satire.”
That’s exactly what I thought. People don’t immediately recognize it as satire, because it’s the sort of thing that other people frequently say and dead-serious mean it.
wow, someone needs to read more. I am curious as to why the post hasn’t been corrected by now.
Didn’t someone once say that Americans don’t get irony?
Nice picture though. If I was you I’d probably have that framed, with ‘Pig/Antichrist’ right under it. Good conversation piece.
First, Dave Kreuger, I believe the blogger is a woman. Or at least the blog itself belongs to a woman. Does someone know that it was the blog owner who posted that?
I’m going to give her the benfit of the doubt, since the plight of Jacyi Yaeger is something she feels passionatly about and instense emotion can cloud judgement. Not that it’s an excuse for not taking 2 minutes to look at the history of a person’s work before trying to get them fired from thier job. I’d give her 24 hours since time of first comment before swooping in and writing nasty-grams to her.
Plenty are coming to your defense, including me. As a previous poster said, hopefully its not some kind of reverse irony to really mess with everyone’s head!
Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don’t get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony’s not really a, a high priority. We haven’t had any irony here since about, uh, ‘83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at.
Draughn’s rule of internet sarcasm: No matter how outrageous your post, someone somewhere will have encountered that exact same thing advocated in all seriousness and with great earnestness…and they will flame you for it.
He got to see his daughter after all.

I wondered if this was just an attempt to generate more traffic, but after reading the latest blog posts (a long feature on a new disneyland attraction and a video about a dolphin rescue) I’m fairly sure she’s just immune to sarcasm.
T-shirt…. “pig/antichrist” on the front. “reason.com” on the back. I say go for cafe press or whoever is cool these days and have some made. I’d buy one.

One of the things I find absolutely astounding about this blog is that almost everyone recognizes sarcasm without the need to put smiley faces or some other symbol of humor or exaggeration. I do not know of another message board or blog that is like that (not that I’ve conducted an exhaustive study). I attribute that to the incredibly high average IQ of the posters here (which I’m hoping will rub off on me).
Ha! “Sarchasm!” That’s my new favorite word.
It’s your looks, Mr. Balko. You look like a cop in training who would say that sort of thing and mean it.
I was a little shocked to see it myself. I’ve never seen a picture of you before, and my mental image did not include short hair and a tie :)
Actually, my mental image of Radley has always been that little guy up there on the top-left corner with the megaphone.
It’s ruined now.
She stil own’t apologize. her latest response: “I won’t I won’t and you can’t make me.”
Isn’t it *fun* reasoning with two-year olds?

Thanks. You’re right. I screwed up.
“I won’t I won’t and you can’t make me.”
Sad to think that this sort of person is on OUR side of the drug debate. She should go back to blogging about dolphins.
We’ve been called “sheep”.
*wipes tear*
I’m hurt. I’m really hurt, you guys.
Group hug?
Sure. It’s a little man-heavy for my liking, but what the hell?
*joins group hug* ; )

Ok, but still, one of the first comments still makes me laugh when I come back here… product of no child left behind… that was good.
