From the desk of Jane Galt:Steven Den Beste thinks that
Steven Den Beste thinks that Warbloggerwatch is a troll.
I thought so too, at first, but after a couple of days when there didn't seem to be any punchline, I changed my mind.
Good trolls are self-sustaining. This one isn't -- we've all got better things to do. So Warbloggerwatch has to keep saying dumb things to get a rise out of us. If it's a troll, he's putting an uncommon amount of effort into it.
Oh, I admit, I enjoyed myself -- it's been a long time since I got into a good flame war. I'm really too old for them now (as aren't most people over the age of 21, one hopes), but it's like drinking yourself into a coma or committing spontaneous acts of juvenile idiocy -- you wouldn't want to make a habit of it, but once every few years won't hurt you.
But I've retired now. Actually, I didn't contribute much -- no time. And I had my fun, and now it's time to unclog the mailbox and go back to blogging.
But if I've been trolled, good on you. Perhaps I'm slipping.
