Ongoing blog wars
May 3rd, 2004 at 7:37 pm by David FarrarRussell Brown has blogged about an article by Diana Witchel about a Gordon King’s poety competition blog post which was about a blog post by Russell!
I find it curious that he thinks Gordon is angry with the world. I think he is taking the piss most of the time, and am surprised anyone can really mistake that for anger.
He says Gordon had a wildly precious reaction when a few contributors to the competition had some fun at his expense, but again I fail to see what was precious about the fact he didn’t even delete their posts from his blog.
As for thinking they were a bit of fun. Fun involves humour and wit. One or two were okay such as:
This morning I read a blog called NZ pundit
And I was struck by how much it resembled a small dog tud
only on the web
But most (sampled below) was just moronic abuse, and frankly I’m surprised Russell is defending them.
Gordon King,
You are a tool;
A TOOL.
I was reading nzpundit the other day
when it struck me that the guy who writes it is a stupid cunt
looking for a hand job from a soldier
gordon, pull your fuckin head in mate. you’re a complete dick, you know that eh?
wrong format, but merit award material.
This morning I looked at my penis before I got out of bed,
i was struck by its resemblence to gordons face;
only a lot better looking
The angry Gordon has responded with a poll on how angry he really is. I’ve just voted.
No tag for this post.

The guy really is a weak-minded, humourless drone. If he had an ounce of personality he would have entered the competition. That was the obvious thing to do – he blew it.

Typical of the Left – no sense of humour. Must be because of all the space occupied in their brains by a sense of moralistic equivalence and the sure and certain knowledge that they are infallible, leaving no room at all for lowly feelings…

Gordon King is the kindest and lovelest man in all Christendom while Russell is an intellectual black hole who is without any redeeming feature.
This is an impartial assesment and in now eay involved any exchange of funds.
