Last week, Jon, you were mentioned in James Taranto’s Best of the Web Today column on the Wall Street Journal Web site.
Non-members, scroll down on this page and read the “February 16 Love” post I did. Join!!!
To say nothing of the fact that people might actually read your comments on Ricochet.
TL; DR
Jon, you made today’s Best of the Web, too. Something about tattoos and baldness.
Brilliant and you’re a sexy man. That’s Rico.
Even the crazies like me are generally polite here.
This is the only site where I read the comments. Well worth the price of admission.
Didn’t realize that. Thank you!
I don’t understand the bile. You’re one of the most adequate [expletive] writers on the [expletive] internet today. I agree that Ricochet is worth the money solely to have a calm, rational, and insightful [expletive] comments section. But there’s so much [expletive] more here.
Life is so much more productive when we don’t spend time calling other people vile names like “progressive” and “liberal”.
You apologized for acts which you were not guilty of committing?
That makes little sense to me.
Surely there’s a better way to express displeasure at the acts of other than apologizing for them.
This is precisely why we have the P.I.T.
It’s serves the same function that hockey does in Canada.
I often skim the comments at Cracked.com. They can be rather amusing, but I couldn’t possibly follow an entire comment thread the way I do here.
I used to inhabit the comments at Ain’t It Cool News, but then I made the switch to Talkbacker.com when that site was created as a protest against AICN’s increasingly blatant corruption and subservience to Hollywood power establishment.
Sadly, Talkbacker made the mistake of doing an ill-advised redesign and the community pretty much fell apart. There are less than a dozen regular commenters now.
My apology was more of an “I’m sorry you have to put up with that prattle every time you post an article.”
