Prompted by this post*, Dale said he saw the story (and my quote) in the N&O, and asked what "we" could do to help. It's a question I'm getting a lot lately.
(*As an aside, please note that the N&R ran a story on Billy Jones and the very next day, endorsed the "green (as in money)" candidate, Yvonne Johnson. Tell me again JR, that blogging will change the world. It might help if you'd print Billy's blog-address in your story.)
I wanted to "top-level" my answer to Dale. Mostly because I am sick of hypocrites . . . and even more so of "prominent" local bloggers who call others that disagree with them politically names like "mouth-breathers", "sister-diddlers", "liars", "whack-jobs", "malignant narcissists", and (the Mother of all epithets) "batshit crazy". They also freely dole out the "racist" and "anti-Semite" cards. Then they dare to lecture the rest of us on holding a dialogue and building community . . . and chastise us for forming opinions that might keep us from their parties.
Oh. But I'm told some of them are "re-thinking" their behavior. I have to accept what I've been told on face value . . . BECAUSE I'VE SEEN NO EVIDENCE OF IT.
Dale, in terms of helping me, it's very simple - and it's the one thing I came to the blogopshere for . . . now almost three years ago.
As with the David Wray situation in GSO (where it's clear some people running government were not playing fair), the blogosphere could raise hell on my behalf.
But that's not going to happen. Because the John Robinsons and Edward Cones, Roch Smiths, and Sue Polinskis of this so-called "community" are too self-righteous, self-absorbed and smug to admit that they've been very, very wrong.
They've been ignoring me for a long time . . . hoping I'd give up and just go away.
It just makes me angrier and more determined to rub their noses in a story and a life they've dismissed as "irrelevant" . . . as they've done to so many others who don't swing their way politically.
If it's not "batshit crazy", it's "mouth-breathers" and "sister-diddlers".
Then they want to throw a party and have every one come on the pretense of "community".
This crew makes me sick.
What it's probably going to take is for me to file a lawsuit against the state of North Carolina.
Then I expect at least one newspaper (not the N&R) will be all over the story.
Too bad, my local newspapers sold me (and the public who paid for the party) out long ago.
After all, businessmen and lawyers rule.
Whew! I feel better now.
