Speaking of laughs, I saw over on the Middle Road blog where the Writers now recommend the monkey picture blog because he is so ‘brave’. Marconi must have swallowed something bad recently to spew that kind of idiocy. Of all the possible descriptions of the monkey picture blog, bravery falls somewhere near dead last. There may be redeeming value over there, I don’t know, because I don’t ever visit the cowardly scum’s site, but whatever is there is printed out of sheer pitiful cowardice. He bravely hides under a rock so you don’t know what his motivations, connections or affiliation are nor where his self interest really lies. There is a reason for that, and it is not ‘bravery’. It is pure self interest and he fears you will find him out.
In the same sidebar they commend GlenD for his bravely positioned blog comments. That I buy. Why, because Glen holds very strong opinions and does not hesitate to express them. He also has the conviction to stand behind those statements. When he does, I know that I can search his message and analyze it critically based on what I know or can find about his affiliations and motivations. That way I can weigh what he says with reasonable accuracy. When monkey picture spews bile, I just ignore it knowing he probably doesn’t believe most of the crap anyway and has so little regard for its worth that he can’t muster the courage to even stand behind it.
Anonymous blogers keep their identities secret for precisely the same reason Ku Klux Klan members do. They do not want to take personal responsibility for their own actions. They don’t have the courage to back their weasely opinions. Truth is, they don’t really believe most of it. If you knew who most of these anonymous pundits were you would laugh your ass off that they had the balls to say anything at all about that particular subject. The CEO of a passenger rail line lectures you anonymously on the evils of air travel. The career government worker who anonymously tells you all about the world of business. They fear you will find them to be the charlatans they really are.
Cowardice. That is what keeps them anonymous, period. Nonys try to fool you into believing how much they care. Bullshit. They fear far more than they care. I recommend you stay away from the MONKEY PICTURE blog as it may be bad for your mental health. Looks like it may have driven Marconi a little crazy already. (:-))
