Syl Jones: Online comments: An art form
Syl Jones, StarTribune | MN
Look, let's get something straight: I don't need no stinkin' Internet police wearing a badge of civility imposing on my freedom. Here, I get to say what I really think, even if it's not too deep. Here, I get to yell and lecture and force my point of view on everyone else and if I do it in the most violent and irresponsible way imaginable, who cares? It's a free country.
Nothing's going to stop me from humiliating the opposition. I don't actually write a blog but blog-responding is my game. I speak for a lot of other people, most of whom dummy up because they don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Not me. Bring it on. I'll speak for the silent ones and I'll speak with a vengeance. I even physically threaten people here -- in fact, I do it regularly just so those creeps understand that I don't take no crap from nobody.
