Some entertainment. [link]Â Meanwhile, I’ve not been writing for a while as I am busy putting together an art show. I’ll see if I can’t spare some time, but I doubt it. I’ll be posting the process of putting the show together at the other site, as well as putting up the pieces featured in the show.All for now.[update] So, Rats Live On lives no more. He said, after this little exchange that he was going to quit blogging. But he actually pulled down his site completely. The entire exchange occurred as a result of a comment I wrote at blogcritics.org on one of his posts. He was posting about the ridiculousness of the new INXS band, and the ordeal of selecting a new lead singer on the reality TV show. He didn’t like how the selections were going. I commented that his article would have been a stronger one without the use of the word “fuck”. I was very diplomatic in the way I worded my comment so as not to appear attacking. He ripped into me on his now defunct site, personally attacking me, my writing and my art. All that’s left is the original post over at Blogcritics. Interestingly, even though he killed his blog and is no longer participating at BC, my comment was deleted, but his post remains. Just to be sure, I checked, and my posts themselves have not been deleted. Tags:

I’m too tickled. I never knew so much idiocy could be encased in single web thread. She/he is such a shining light of intelligence, but screens comments in case they might be offensive or threatening. Tee hee…mine probably won’t make it. After all, it was reasonable and well-thought out, and dripping with sarcastic concern. I’m a bad girl. Love you…

Armywife - First off, it’s “he.” And your comment did make it. I screen comments so that I can filter out spam. Let me just say “well played.” Surely your comment will live on long after we all die. Tee Hee, you bad, sarcastic, reasonable girl. Marc (or Maximus or whatever), I owe you a debt. You made me realize just how much I absolutely HATE blogging. Really. It’s dull and egocentric and really, who gives a fuck? It started out as something fun and became just a tremendous resource drain. And of course, you have to deal with idiots responding to something that never called for response in the first place. So I’m dumping the site and putting up something I actually like to do. I’ll let you know before it’s up so you can be sure to criticize it with plenty of time to spare. And cheers to you and your terrible art - if the last 50 years of art history are any indication you should go far. Post a comment
