It's only a matter of few words

It seems there are some who say Acidman has finally gone a bit too far. I do not regularly read Acidman, as I am not a big fan of vitriolic drunken babble and he seemed to dislike me, as well. I will not judge his actions, as I have not reviewed the source material and do not intend to do so. If such is as described, I agree such is an unjustified use of virulent language. I have been on record previously as sayin' that words are words and people are always free to react to someone else's use of language as they shall so choose to do. However, I also am on record as sayin' that it is fair to question the intent of someone's choice of words, as well. Since the word whose use is questioned in this case has been publicly denounced as havin' only a hurtful purpose, the use of such by anyone should always be strictly scrutinized.

[UPDATE: I found that more was said on this matter at WizBang!]

[UPDATE II: It seems Michele had somethin' to say about the matter also, and provides linkage not only to the offendin' blog, the offensive post, a possible response by the offendin' blogger, but to another blogger who possibly has linked almost every other blogger who has blogged on the matter.]

Actually, I kind of like the vitriolic drunken babble part.

Tiger, some people will never change. And I really don't have the patience to wait for them to come around. The world moves on and those of us that are smart will move with it.

"Actually, I kind of like the vitriolic drunken babble part." - Steve

*ROFL* Yeah, me too. I don't read Gutrumbles a lot, but I usually find myself entertained when I do. And - at least judging from the handful of email exchanges we've had - Rob's pretty good folks.

As I noted in my observation on this... I'm going to give Rob, Lair, Charles, Misha et al as much room to be vitriolic as I'm going to demand for myself. Words only bother me if I give them the power to do so. It's a choice.
