Hey sports fans. Sorry for my long absence. I think it has been a few months since I have had time even to glance at any of these boards. Of course, it seems IV is now the only decent one left.

For those who have not seen it, I suggest reading this.

(Full disclosure: I am not behind antisocialmedia.com, but I could speculate who is.)

Is it bad? When a journalist is exposed as a pumper of his own sorry books, a writer (always under fake names) of hatchet jobs on his colleagues' work, and in general, a flim-flam artist of the worst kind... is that bad? Is it bad when the exposure makes people question why he spends so much of his waking time engaged in fervent sock-puppetry? It hardly seems like a hobby, does it?


Coming back here and seeing the response to the "'splaining" post provide a case study in chatter. Scipio answers with blather, and hopes no one reads the original (at www.antisocialmedia.com ) to know why his answer is blather. That is why, after months away from these boards, when I came back and saw this I decided I should chime in: no matter what, I know my posts do not get skipped, and cannot be drowned with chatter.

So again, please visit www.antisocialmedia.com and read this.

I hear that GW is melting down, melting down, melting down.....
