  •  I Realize No One Is Reading These Comments By Now (3.66 / 9)

    But I'm still gonna speak up real quick.

    I saw the banner ad and didn't have a problem with it. What I have a problem with is the insufferably condescending and insulting tone of this post. I realize that the blogosphere is a very alpha male dominated world. That's not an excuse to talk down to a huge segment of your readers.

    •  I'm still reading... (3.40 / 5)

      ...but I'm a patient man.

      And I'm also the alpha-est male of them all.  As an alpha male, I found Kos' response far more offencive than that ridiculous advert, which I ignored until he brought it to my attention.

      Somebody else in this diary said that Kos had "jumped the shark".  Well, perhaps.  What is needed is some serious damage control--but it's obvious that he's not interested in patching up the wounds and moving on.

      Normally, I would say, eh, just forget the whole thing, it's one of those minor tempests that will blow over and is best blotted out.  

      But the nasty, hateful attitude taken by Kos and the frat boy posse on this diary make me think that all this is far from over--and that while the folk on my side have learned a great deal about Kos, et al, they have learned nothing at all.

      There are three kinds of people: Those who see; those who see when they are shown; those who do not see.
