Mine always seem to get in to moderation, then never appear. Granted, it is her blog, they can do what they want, but, still seems hypocritical of them.

I’ve left several comments at Huffing-n-Puffing-ton Post. They were nearly all of the contrary argument, but clean and they wre all deleted. Except one. I agreed whole heartedly with the majority opinion and, by golly, it was accepted. The next contrarian comment was again rejected. Go figure.

Hi, Julie! Did the bridge thing affect you? That would truly suck. I hear it is a nightmare.

Ogre, you’re right. The hard left progressives are stark raving mad.

Now, you look at a reasonable, rational, caring Liberal like Julie, and she is the exact kind of person that is needed for informed discussion on topics.

However, Julie isn’t part of the angry left, which means that she doesn’t get major play in the HuffPost/Daily Kos/MyDD type left-o-sphere. And, she won’t get nasty comments but every once in a blue moon.

Yes, the left can say that they don’t see hate because by their definition of the word, they cannot hate: it’s simply not possible for anyone on the left to ever hate or use any foul language. The rules are: if they use it, it’s not foul, period. And yes, they really believe that.

Oh – the whole bridge collapse was rather spectacular, especially if it didn’t affect your commute. If it did, well, expletive deleted doesn’t begin to describe the angst.

The “F” word is “F-un”, right?
Seems in general the stronger the opinion posted, the more negative emotional comments. Being a bit of a wuss myself, I rarely get any abusive commenters.
I think the abusive commentors don’t have the depth of vocabulary to respond in a more civilized fashion.

The information I use is from cruising both the left and right side of the blogosphere quite a bit. I have thrown the challenge out before for folks on the Left to bring me examples of conservatives getting as nasty as those at the major left wing sites do.

So far, haven’t received anything, even from a very, very, very far right site.

And, just to be clear, I do not support that kind of hate from either side. On a forum I frequent, I, and other conservatives, have started not just calling out those on the left, but those on the right who are using despicable languange, and I will continue to do so. It has not place in civilized society, even on the anonymous internet.

You did an amazing job of putting a partisan spin on a nonpartisan problem without actually addressing the issue on the grand scale.

“Interestingly, the vast majority of the time the comments are aimed at those on the Right.”

The article doesn’t say that anywhere which makes me wonder what information you used to base that statement on.

Countess Arianna Dracula couldn’t put out once a month to satisy her ex-husband’s needs so he pulled a McGeevey and went gay! Huff.. and puff…and she couldn’t…
better stop there in prime time WT. Arianna can’t satisfy ‘males’ in Hollyweirdo land? Now that’s a story!
I still dig her Transylvanian accent.
