This Crap Ends Now

I take one day to try and relax a bit, and shit hits the fan online. No more Hillary hit pieces right now. This blog is an Ohio statewide blog, this shit ends now.
Good call Jerid

I was wondering if you'd notice your audience's reaction in time. :)
IT'S ABOUT TIME.

- Now Tim is going out of his way to discover divisive and slanderous comments that others are making, and he's posting them here. He's adopting their statements to knowingly evade the (very smart) rule you just put down. It also means he doesn't understand why the rule was imposed.
- Clinton may or may not be irrevocably dividing the Democratic Party. However, Tim certainly accomplishing the very same thing that he accuses Clinton of doing. He is attacking not only Clinton, he's attacking -all Democrats who may or may not have supported her-. It's blatantly hypocritical and it severely undermines the your website's integrity.
- If hypocrisy is not enough to end the Crap, then consider on this. The posts look like they were written by a petulant child. I've already seen the terms "extreme immaturity" and "sour grapes" applied by others, and I agree with that sentiment. Why the massive upswing of anti-Clinton blogs -after- the point became moot for Ohioans? Why post an awkward Clinton collage unless Tim wanted to evoke Mr. Rich's more famous awkward Bush collage? It's certainly not pertinent, enlightening, or even entertaining in the context of Tim's scantly-substantiated rants about "fratricial maniacs," idiots and racists. (FYI, loose applications of "racism" without more are the Democratic blogger equivalent of Godwin's Law.)
- The bare negativity in Tim's rants isn't worth the (largely imaginary) gain. Regardless of what Clinton is doing to the Democratic party, -Tim- is certainly dividing the Democrats reading this site.
- Jerid, you should talk with him. Repeat what you said, and the sentiment found here. Barring that, you should--how was it said in the removed blog--"muzzle him."
Does this mean

you're sending Tim Russo on a nice, relaxing vacation to Hawaii — sans laptop — for the remainder of primary season?
Au revoir, Jerid

I'm logging out and going back to my own blog for the rest of the primary season. This place is an insane asylum.
And please do something about your server. It really sucks.
Rude

Sounds as if you don't want a healthy debate with those willing to challenge you Susan, but the last statement was uncalled for and rude. Those are the kind of statements better made in an email. Enjoy your blog.
Amen
