Actions have consequences
Amanda Marcotte had the temerity to call me a "sociopath" earlier today. And as of now her website is down with this explanation: Whenever the site is up, we get slammed and it goes down. I have to suspend the site until the fervor dies down. At this point, I think it might be a few hours before the Lookie Lous give up refreshing the site.Well, let that be a lesson! We sociopaths really know how to slam a site when our feelings are hurt. UPDATE (02/15/07): If I think it's unfair being called a "sociopath," I should count my blessings. Cathy Young was accused (by Amanda Marcotte) of being an "apologist for abusers, as long as they are male." (Via Dr. Helen.) Young's crime was to have stated the obvious fact that women can be abusers too, and the whole post is a must-read for "PandaGate" fans. (At least I can comfort myself knowing that Amanda thinks I'm sick and in need of help.) posted by Eric on 02.13.07 at 07:11 PM

Actually, I think you have a legitimate entitlement there. Not only did you disparage her twice, but I actually used your disparaging argument in the post which prompted the "sociopath" comment! Obviously, if YOUR argument made her call ME a sociopath, then I have no entitlement to a diagnosis properly belonging to you! Beyond that, I think that every disparaging remark creates an obligation of the disparaged blogger to disparage in return. By ignoring you Amanda has dissed you -- at the very least she showed very bad etiquette! I may take this up with WorldNetRootsDaily. Eric Scheie · February 14, 2007 02:07 PM Post a comment

I disparaged her a time or two here.
Why wasn't I attacked?
I don't get no respect. LOL
Well maybe I don't need that kind of respect.
Still my feelings were hurt. Can I be a part of the Net Roots now? LOL
