I log in to my blog and see that seven out of the last ten comments come from one person who calls himself "Ron Vicious." In addition, he has blitzed my personal email account with an additional 10 messages in 24 hours. In his constant, often careless and outrageous comments, he seems to have driven away what was an array of intelligent commentors on a variety of topics.
To those of us who have real lives off the blogs, who work for a living and can't, like Mr. Vicious, sit on our behinds for hours a day, occupying ourselves by ranting online against lazy poor people and lazy teachers (who in their jobs don't have even minutes to spare during the work day to spend on blogs), we might suggest that Mr. Vicious spend less time pointing out the specks in the eyes of others and maybe see if he can focus on that huge log in his own eyes.
I feel kind of like I've hosted a dinner party and one person has tried to monopolize and dominate every conversation, guzzled all the beer and liquor in my house, gone back for third and fourth helpings of food, and driven all the other guests out the door. The word "BOOR" comes to mind.
