Bully for him, Finnegan!

Got to hand it to my old friends at the Beth Short dotcom. They sure know how to put the fear and loathing back into your internet experience. That B-r-r-riar? Whooo, she's one scarrry moderator, kids.

Briar's headache problem is similar to Beth's. No taste in men. People like her and the rest of the hens over there like their roosters polite and servile. With Roger Moore hair to do their toenails and aging bartenders to chauffer them and newspaper hacks to BS them around in Ford-made death machines to orderly tea parties where everybody sit up straight and very politely call Beth Short a whore, a porn actress or the kind of Pismo clam who would fuck a Hodel on purpose. One lump or two, Dear? 

The simple impy creature only missed by that much. Good luck getting any kicks off the internet, dummie. Everybody knows the thing is only good for laughs and nasty and nobody can heap more badly needed abuse on more stupid, hyper-insecure message board squatters in less time than Finnegan can. More than Lenny Bruce would ever have imagined. Still, Lenny would have called them all cunts. And he's be right. I think they're all about 30% in their reading comprehension, and get hot tempered with those who won't dumb it down for them. 

But, sadly, with the great paradigm shift after the bust, a golden age is passing and the revolutionary phase of the information revolution ends and the counter-revolution, the inevitable bloody reaction sets in, net conformity will the rule future. The time of the fearless exchange of ideas among hearty, rugged, self sustained freijacs of the wildernet, the last free speakers, the bloggers who dare ventured off the sphere onto the open forums is ending, and there's a big stale coming without them. 

The bloggers are still around, but the concept of an ineluctably open discussion forum on the internet is fading fast, victims of their owners inabiltiy to control the content to their liking without resorting to embarrassing and intellectually indefensible bannings and censorship, while all the time paying more and for bandwidth with less and less content to show for it.

The webmasters soon despaired and began recruiting Kapos from the ranks to moderate between the good children and the nasty old trolls. It was all over pretty quick then, you bet. Conflict ceases, boredom and inanity, follow hard on the heels remaing.  And who was the oldest, meanest, ugliest and keenest troll of them all? Why Finny M'Cool, you stupid fool. The great pseud, Tim Finnegan.
