Here's what caught my eye:
So someone’s all “Everyone’s against me! Kat hates me!” yet we’re the ones who need fainting couches?
That's not personal -- that's business.
I've been using these here Innertubes since 1989, and I have very little regard for those who can dish it out, yet not take it -- even less regard for those who feel that those types need protection from my tirades. I figure everyone's arms reach the keyboards, and the words represent the thinking of the parties who typed 'em, and as such, can be judged by all and sundry who decide to read them. I mean, getting comments deleted because they contain an accusation of another commenter being "exceedingly silly" is, well, exceedingly silly. As is deleting a reference to a winger cartoonist duo as "fuxandcork'em.com," but maybe that's not safe for work, or something.
Bottom line: At present, I'm not content to comment there, pulling punches in some ingratiating gesture to some pretense of civility, lest I be school marm'd to the commenting cornfield. Fuck that shit! Pabst! Blue! Ribbon!
If I have something to say about what goes on at MCB, I'll say it, here. Oh, definitely, I'll be a religious reader, as I have been from Day One -- I wanna know what's going on in the local blogohood, and that is the place to do it, right now (I can also get a small dose of hyperlocal flavor from Ft. Wayne, IN, and misogynous BlowSmokestan there, as well!). But I prefer my words to remain unspindled, unmutilated and undiluted.
So those will be here, and there you have it.

You *do* know that #9 has been banned from at least 3 public forums for stirring up shit among the membership, don't you? He makes himself a magnet for controversy. And every time, he makes himself out to be a victim.
He's like a pig in shit now because he's found a forum where the putative leadership lean right-glibertarian, and more inclined to groove with his solipsistic approach to, well, everything. There's little mistake that his only other haven is populated by violence addicts.
Let that lying gobshite fucknut be MCB's problem. They deserve him.
Google "the way of the kook." It's instructive.
Andy Axel -- Honestly, I don't give a shit. I figure its words can follow it until it gets embarrassed and changes monikers.

The OddInteger saves its most salacious crap for its sock puppets.
Andy, it's interesting that you say that the MCB leadership leans right-libertarian. Ivy is more of a leftie for the most part; Kat is more the right-libertarian. But then most the rest of the organizing members of the group tend towards the left: John H, myself, Newscoma, Rachel. Ginger's maybe middle of the road, politically, maybe a bit rightie, maybe a bit leftie, but I guess my point is that it's interesting that there could be this perception that it's a right-dominated leadership when it so definitely isn't.
I think that shows that maybe we're making as much of an effort as we think we are at being balanced, and maybe we're overcompensating.
Either way, interesting food for thought.
