This<br />is in the best spirit of Samuel Johnson, Dick Steele, and the heroes<br />of Fleet Street."<br /><br />Ridicule dishonors men more than does dishonor itself. - Voltaire<br /><br />And my more thoughtful email to Gary -<br /><br />< After Konrath deleted Gary's very polite criticism of Konrath's behavior. ><br /><br />I've been told he's done this to other ppl also.<br /><br />It's sort of like the book burnings in the darker periods of Western history.<br /><br />It's amazing that Konrath has the effrontery call anyone else a "coward".<br /><br />Here's his tactics. First he screams and rants at someone like a hyena<br />in heat. Then his regular pack of verbal thugs, many the same people<br />all the time, gang faq his target with vicious and scurrilous attacks<br />that are mostly lies and innuendos. After awhile of this, Konrath<br />shows up under the pretense of an "enlightened moderator", claiming to<br />be reasonable while snidely still attacking his target. Usually this<br />works, like with that poor young lady I mentioned on my blog. If not,<br />and they realize opposition and disgust is building up against them,<br />they want to pretend the incident never existed, claiming they're<br />deleting their comments in the interests of harmony, and if their<br />target was any reasonable kind of person, he / she would do the same,<br />because what their target said is the truth and too embarrassing for<br />them to tolerate.<br /><br />It's the tactics of a dictator, a coward, and a baby. <br /><br />Konrath can only fight someone when their hands are figuratively tied, so he can<br />feel safe when he tries to beat them up with a baseball bat.Joseph Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375615652109183632noreply@blogger.com
