Me Thinks She Doth Protest Too Much

Don't you agree?

I thought people were adults. I thought they were here to think and analyze facts in a mature, rational manner.

An adult, mature, and rational quote from one of Jen's e-mails to me:

Too bad, so sad. Buh-bye!

*Ahem*, you were saying? Back to her blog:

I blog my heart out here day after day and I make it a point of personal honor to always tell the truth and be honest, yet I am being vilified up and down the "blogosphere" for admitting that I have my preferences and my loyalties.

Jen, Jen, Jen - I've already pointed out to you that you were wrong about how your religion has spread itself - yet you perpetuate the myth. Where I'm from, we call that lying. And you are not being villified for admitting you have preferences and loyalties - you are being villified for being childish and unwilling to engage anyone who might disagree with you in an honest dialogue. True, it's your right to be juvenile and stubborn on your blog - but it's our right to call you on it. *Ring* *Ring*

I am going to talk to an attorney about a possible lawsuit against Wilde for Invasion of Privacy, Defamation and Slander: he has used my real, legal name--while he doesn't use his, ever-- to commit outright slander and it has resulted in me being mercilessly harassed and has done real damage to my journalistic reputation.

Uh, Jen, your real, legal name is all over the blogosphere - hell, Instapundit used it too, indirectly questioned the logic behind your "delinking," and has more readers than Wilde and I could conjure in a wet dream. Gonna do anything about that? Didn't think so.

Defamation and Slander? Surely you jest - your own e-mails stand as evidence that everything he claims is true. You may not like it that he posted your e-mails for all the world to see and showed you for the kind of person you are, but it isn't slander.

And, pardon my ignorance, but when did anyone consider you a journalist? WE'RE BLOGGERS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. GET OVER YOURSELF!

I'm certainly trying not to think about the actual harm that could result from his attack from harrassing phone calls to physical assault should someone who is outraged for him to find me and come to my home to "let me have it" in person.

Oh waiter! One order of paranoid schizophrenia, please! Besides, it's been my experience that death threats tend to come from the wacky Right, not the wacky Left.

Well, he gave me a war all right and I'm losing because I don't have the stomach or the stamina for this fight.

No, you're losing because you are wrong. Subtle difference I know, but work with me here. And again, I'm also sorry that you're in poor physical health, but quit playing the freaking martyr, Jen - no one is going to excuse your behavior because you're ill (ok, if you tack on dementia, then we might). You obviously have the knack for dishing it out against people with whom you disagree - toughen up, Jen, or shut up.

You've allowed Wilde, in the space of a few short days, to reshape the blogosphere into a self-censoring *cocoon* of "Centrist" Gruppedenke(Nazi term for Group Think). Congratulations!

Oops, Godwin's Law. You lose.

And Ann Coulter, move over, girlfriend: you've got company!

Now there's some lesbian action I have no desire to see. (shudder)

Too bad, so sad. Buh-bye!
