I got a somewhat disturbing email today from someone seeking, it appears, to track down the author of a diary on Daily Kos with whom my correspondent had a disagreement; no need to go into details, except to make a few salient points.
First, I'm aware that some people are unhappy with Daily Kos and its proprietor. I am not one of them, most of the time, at least. If you happen to have been banned there, for whichever reason, it is neither a concern nor an interest of mine, nor of this blog.
Second, the Progressive blogosphere is more than just Daily Kos. This seems self-evident, and yet, I find that it must be pointed out again and again. If someone for whichever reason does not fit in there, there are other blogs, not quite as large, but perhaps more amenable to a given point of view.
Third, Daily Kos is not a public right-of-way; they have no reason, certainly no obligation, to accommodate you. You're not that special; neither am I, for that matter. If you feel a point can be made by having a sit-in there, I would question your priorities; if, that is, I were to deem your actions as being of sufficient note to engage even in the questioning of them.
Fourth, if you feel the need to discuss how much you hate Daily Kos, or blah dee blah blabbity blah, really, I suggest you do it elsewhere. We've been through that, and frankly, it wasn't very interesting at all. Yes, you heard me right; maybe it's because there's a conceptual distinction between oppression and persecution and, you know, not being allowed to post on a frigging blog.
Lastly, honestly, people, get the fuck over yourselves. You got banned from Daily Kos. Life will go on, I assure you. I suggest you get one and find out about it. I mean, Jesus titty-fucking Christ, grow the fuck up already. Please note that I've disabled comments on this post for that very reason; anyone seeking to discuss this, really, go out there and hug somebody.
The End.
