Bring Me the Head of Pete McCutcheon

...with a side order of Joel Rosenberg tartare.

[livejournal.com profile] liveavatar suggests in the comments thread to this post that those who loved Rasseff That Was might be well served by storming the Bastille and taking the fucker back by sheer numbers. I think that might work, if enough people went at once, and stuck it out long enough, and generated enough group policing fu. But I have no idea how much pent up demand there really is for such an assault. And I'm pretty sure I'm not, just now, the girl to tackle the project if it's going to require a lot of pep rallies and support wrangling. I am just a wee bit overcommitted at the moment, even as things stand. So I am starting a new post to see who all else out there is interested in such a project. Organizational volunteers especially welcome, but a gauge of enthusiasm (depth and breadth) would be good, too.

So, where are y'all at?

I can't bring myself to killfile people. I can't give up on the possibility, however faint, that a person may say something worthwhile in the future. It may be my Christianity... gotta believe that repentance and redemption are always possible.

(As an engineering decision, risking that one will miss .1% worthwhile thoughts when discarding 99.9% useless ones, killfiling makes sense.)

Okay, you're a good Christian and a bad Engineer, on that choice. It's your choice, tho. Not everyone needs killfiles. I've never actively used them, really, since I can generally just not read posts by people I don't want to be reading, and would still get traces of their stuff captured in quoted segments in the replies of folks I *do* read, even if I did use killfiles. Killfiles like motorcycle helmets are for those who need them.
