Is civility in the blogosphere overrated? (AemJeff & Bobby G)

[Ocean]

As for the rest, I think humane and rational conversation is important and I like to think that plenty of the posts on this blog are dedicated to it. But there are also a lot of liars and idiots in the world and subjecting them to scorn and mockery is part of what you’ve got to do in life.

APE.
