Hopeful suggestion for EarlG: We need a "Hate Comments on Facebook" post series, too!

Dear, dear EarlG...

I know you are busy. I know that you are a busy Dad, website admin, and many other roles. Please don't think I'm being pushy, but...

OK, I'm being pushy.

But I love the Hate Mailbag SO MUCH.... And it doesn't appear nearly often enough.

Maybe the prospect of the nuclear-strength public ridicule of appearing in a Mailbag has discouraged some of the enthusiasm for dialog from the mouthbreathing proto-simian set.

Fortunately, we have FACEBOOK now!

And the proto-simians are just ALL OVER IT.

So, in sempiternal hope, I draw your attention to this lovely comment on today's "Pic of the Moment" re: support for gun control in the US:

{name redacted} "Fuck the pussy's that are so afraid of guns that they think EVERYONE has to be pussy's..."


I really want to know what particular possession of what particular pussy has <ahem> aroused such ire. But I'm afraid to ask.

YOU could ask, though, as part of an ongoing series of sharing "Hate Comments on Facebook" a la "Hate Mailbag."

You COULD...

beseechingly,
Bright

Bravo!

Your use of adverbs in closing a post is second to none, Bright!

Admiringly,

I'm blushin'...

But, um... You didn't "rec" the post? You don't wanna see a regular "Hate Comments on FB" series?

This is not a good idea?

Please don't think I'm being manipulative or anything...

disingenuously,
Bright

...and lay it on a subscribable CMS, and bang these pre-chimps as they appear!

Oh, could be fun, could be fun, if we can just get this thread going. Rec it up, add your ideas, ATTRACT EARLG's ATTENTION and all...

hopefully,
Bright
