I’m Trying to Be the Shepherd
There is an inherent contradiction, I think, in being a widely read blogger and a decent human being. As just about anyone who has been here at least once knows, I made some people mad last week. The consequence of that were three days of easily my best traffic on the web.
Things have dropped more than a little since then, mostly because I have less time to write. But also because I am, in the real world, trying to be less argumentative. Or at least less of a jerk about it.

KevDog, you weren’t a jerk and I won’t allow you to portray yourself as such! You had a thought and expressed it. This is your blog and you get to do that. TNC highlighted it and people over there had thoughts and expressed them as well. It’s good that you expressed it. Even with the vitriol, folks at least TALKED ABOUT IT.
Now I happen to think that you didn’t have all the information before you came to your feeling. I think many who shared your feeling didn’t have that information. There are many reasons for that but mostly it’s present and historical social construct, I think. If you all did, PERHAPS you’d have felt different, but jeez, there’s no guarantee to that.
And argumentative is good as long as you’re arguing from a good faith position and not just to get people all riled up.
I cannot imagine you a jerk, either on the interwebs or IRL.
