Day job is killing me.<br /><br />I agree with you about the Curmudgeon. Honestly, I think his blog is completely pointless. It is more like an old man's lawn policy than a blog, since his mantra seems to have become "get off my blog." But the purpose of his blog has never been education or discussion, rather it is simply a means of indoctrination for the unlucky few who do not have a brain of their own, or have one but don't use it or simply use it to regurgitate Groothuis's intolerant view point.<br /><br />Frankly, following his blog has become a rather amusing and pointless interlude in my increasingly busy days.The Daily Fuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12636581068441603099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697320.post-53591908076819773862010-07-12T10:48:00.033-06:002010-07-12T10:48:00.033-06:00Dear Sir Fab,
Now that the World Cup is over,
per...Dear Sir Fab,<br /><br />Now that the World Cup is over,<br />perhaps we can get back to more<br />relevant topics, such as criticizing<br />the "constructive curmudgeon". <br /><br />In a recent post<br />Douglas Groothuis is complaining<br />that he has no one to engage in<br />rational discourse with. The reason <br />is that he has banned everybody<br />from his blog who disagrees with him, charging that they are "uncivil".<br /><br />Groothuis reminds me of the character played by Bill Mumy in the episode of the old Twighlight Zone. <br />Mumy's character was a petulant 10 year old boy with supernatural powers who terrorized his family<br />and the residents of a small<br />farming community somewhere in<br />rural America. <br /><br />"They better be nice to me," was the boy's refrain. Be nice to him, <br />or be transported to the "corn field".<br /><br />Just my view as a member of the banned.<br /><br />-JohnJohn Stockwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03496308585336775569noreply@blogger.com
