re: #265 pdc_lgf

Maybe the comments are ramped up on the vileness scale because they know people are watching?

I’m thinking that, but if they really think through what they’re doing, it’s not bright. I’ve said awful things here and there and I’m sure there’s plenty on my blog that could be used against me, and the thing is, I’m watching out to make sure I don’t say anything inappropriate.

I’m arguing for something really basic, that isn’t even common decency: at what point do you want a persona that people might actually want to talk to and engage? It doesn’t make a lot of sense to spew hate all the time, because you never know when people might wonder “hey, what if that guy disagrees with me?”
