If I had known the back story on CWC I would not have posted this entry, because while his ad is certainly mockworthy for a number of reasons, he appears to have problems much deeper than sucking on Craigslist.<\/p>\n

A good question was raised by someone using the screen name Delabonte<\/em>: “So it’s okay for you lot to make fun of sad people, but not us?” This made me think — what is<\/em> the difference between this website and the wiki websites devoted to attacking CWC? <\/p>\n

I think the difference is that my intended<\/em> focus on this website is on people’s actions<\/em> — that is, the ads they write — and not the person as an individual. (I’ll admit straying from that, and the asshat<\/em> tag is a prime example of targeting the individual and not the action.) <\/p>\n

In contrast, I find the malice against CWC on the wiki websites to be directly targeted at him as a person and way over the line, and that started to happen in the comments here. <\/p>\n

I don’t want that kind of attack to happen here. There’s a difference between saying, “This person did a stupid thing,” and “This person is stupid”. I try to maintain the former, while the group that has, for whatever reason, appointed themselves CWC watchdogs appears to favor the latter. <\/p>\n

Before anyone cries censorship, all I’m trying to do is to maintain the tenor of the blog as I intended it. One of the things I love about the people who are regular commenters on this blog is that you all tend to be brilliant, funny, and clever people, and I’d really like to retain that, as it’s what makes this blog special and enjoyable for me (and I suspect for others). Personal attacks are not brilliant, funny, or clever. <\/p>\n

Thanks. Have a sammich.<\/p>\n

Yeah. I’m pretty sure that a guy wearing a Ralph Lauren rugby shirt from the late 1980s, sitting in front of Transformers posters and memorabilia, and wearing bling that looks like a — what the hell IS that thing, anyway? — doesn’t have much room to be picky about who calls them. Especially when “calling” involves talking to the guy’s father (still living in your room from high school?) and leaving a message.<\/p>\n

I think we’re working from different definitions of the word hip<\/em>. When I think of hip dudes I think of guys with spiky hair and skinny black jeans discussing how they believe that irony as a trend is pass\u00e9 and that sincerity is the new irony. I don’t<\/em> think of someone who probably gets carded when he goes to 18-and-over night at the local Roll-a-Rena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
