I was just sitting here thinking about the absurdity of the fact that I responded to anything Adam Newbold has to say about anyone at this point after publishing my last post…and I started laughing out loud. Why in the hell did I feel the need to respond to that shit? Nothing I said was controversial except in Far Left social media, which frankly is as nutty as Far Right social media with an equal dose of self-righteousness on both sides. Had this discussion with Manton before and should never have stooped so low. It’s like I scraped some old gum off a city street and decided to eat it. Shame on me.
Bix wrote it best about this guy:
I’ve said all along that I find the stridency with which he goes after the micro.blog crew to be unseemly. This is true even when the substance of his criticism is correct, like it is in the case of Reece’s defense of Bluesky’s CEO and CTO. The problem is that he can’t let go, and he appears to be so committed to the rush of the bit that now he’s just lashing out willy-nilly for no good reason whatsoever.
And more succinctly:
Allies don’t strut.
Nuff said. And no more street gum.
