THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

NICE? US? | 2006-03-09

I put "Incident in an Elevator" into Stormfront.

But it occurred to me that my heavy-handed hitting on Derek's term "cumbersome" would strike them as bullying. I didn't name Derek, but they might think, "Bob is really being hard on this sensitive soul."

So I explained the relationship between me and Bob's Blog commenters.

I think you'll enjoy it:

"This is from Bob's Blog."

"Bob's Blog commenters are my close-in group. Other people I'm nice to. If I were ever nice to my Blog commenters, they would worry about the state of my health."

"So one of them said Bob's Mantra was 'cumbersome.'"

"He has a different way of using it, which is great."

"But I still gave him no mercy on that word 'cumbersome,' and he expected none."

"If you are easily offended, Bob's Blog is no place for you."
