From individual observations, massive generalizations grow:
The whole kafuffle between myself and Canadian Cynic over his fraudulent quotation of me has gotten me asking the following question: why is socialism such a nasty movement?
Similarly, Blogging Tory Kate McMillan is a blatant racist. Ergo, all Blogging Tories are blatant racists. Q.E.D. I can suddenly see blog posts getting way easier to write in the future.
Oh, I know, there are plenty of trolls and thugs in the right, but it seems that the number of goons per capita is much higher on the left side of the spectrum.
Sure, Cincy, let's go with that. I wouldn't let the massive disparity in violent, firearm-related murders get in the way of that logic.
And what’s more, those that are on the left tend to be respected their more moderate peers while right-wing goons are almost universally shunned by the mainstream right.
Sure, why not? And say "Hi" for me the next time you run into "Neo Conservative" for a brew. I'm sure you and he just have a knee-slapping good time mocking the incivility of the Left.
AFTERSNARK: You could try to engage Cincy in intellectual discourse over at his place, but -- and you're not going to believe this -- he moderates his comments section. Really. What a surprising development for a Blogging Tory.

number of goons per capita?
That's a trick, right? One, of course.
Okay, I posted this:

It depends on how you define goons. If your standard is verbal expression, then I agree that progressives can reflect back to rightwing goons abusive language directed our way.
When it comes to public executions, bombings and various other acts of violence and terrorism, rightwing goons lead those categories by a wide margin.
And as for the propensity for tolerating goons of the same ideological stripe, are you an admirer of Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh?
Let's see if it gets past his 'moderation'.
Shorter Cincy: "They hate us 'cause we're beautiful."
No, we hate you 'cause your dumb. And we're not proud of it, but really, what other choices do we have? You're not teachable.
So what you're saying, Twatsy, is that you encourage the violent murder of abortion providers?
I can only assume that's what you're saying if I act as functionally illiterate as you do.
Make sure you all appreciate the irony of Patrick Ross taking advantage of the freedom I've granted him to post a comment here, during which he pisses and moans about my alleged attempt to savagely curtail his freedom of speech.
I'm guessing that irony is going to go clean over Twatsy's head. As it always does.
When PR goes to his blog dashboard, he must be making a beeline for the "Monetize" tab, and ignoring the "Settings" where you can specify any post older than x days is moderated. That's a good way to avoid having to search for spam that gets tossed in the old posts' comments.
Sheesh, PR must be a real bonehead not to know. Even hunter knows this! She uses this setting so only the latest post is not moderated. Well actually she did, but that was before she went all moderated. I still comment there, forcing her to read my words and now she can't talk back. Works for me!
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
In fact, LS, due to my strategic and carefully-selected moderation, the spammers seem to have given up and I've pushed the limit back to 5 days, with no apparent ill effects and which still gives everyone gobs of freedom to have at it here.
This, of course, means nothing to Twatsy, who is easily one of the stupidest human beings on the planet. And who, from what I've heard, thinks all abortion providers should be murdered with high-powered rifles.
At least that's what I've heard. I could be wrong. Who knows?
FYI Splatrick, your rightwing blogging buddy still hasn't approved my comment. Why do think he hasn't?
Is it offensive, did I use any bad words?
Hey "Patrick", at least use the exact name of the blogger you are impersonating, bonehead. A fun parody though.
So someone who moderates their entire blog is exactly the same as someone who auto-moderates old posts.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Poor old Paddy "Dickmullet" Rosshole just can't live without you paying attention to him CC. Time to let the little dickmullet wither and die like a potted plant that is left in the closet
"who, from what I've heard, thinks all abortion providers should be murdered with high-powered rifles."
i've heard the same thing.

Comment moderation is comment moderation.
