The efforts that those who lack the backbone to put their name to the drivel they produce go to, in order to “hide” their identity, is truly amazing.

Whomever sent this comment signed up to the blog with a throw away email address, then tried no less than four different internet anonymisers to try to post from behind… Pathetic, really… Considering that I still know the post came from ip address 86.141.177.225, which is part of the BT backbone… …and like much else that comes from that direction, it isn’t even original - merely copied from another site - no surprise there really.

Best that the author of that comment goes back to playing with the felt-tip pens, and lets the adults get on with their business.

Will.

It is nonsense because I am so mad at Will right now, I could spit nails. And it is irresponsible because Will's sense of humor runs the gamut from rude and crude to high-handed and stinking. Of course, this sounds simple, but in reality, the real issue is simple: Nearly all of the assumptions and statements made by him and his helpers are completely, absolutely, and totally wrong. I can't stress this enough, but he claims that stoicism is a noble goal. That claim illustrates a serious reasoning fallacy, one that is pandemic in his taradiddles. Then again, Will insists that he has no choice but to control, manipulate, and harm other people. His reasoning is that he could do a gentler and fairer job of running the world than anyone else. Yes, I realize that that argument makes no sense, but Will seems to have recently added the word "tetraiodophenolphthalein" to his otherwise simplistic vocabulary. I suppose he intends to use big words like that to obscure the fact that if he were to pit the haves against the have-nots, social upheaval and violence would follow. It is therefore clear that I admit I have a tendency to become a bit insensitive whenever I rebuke Will for trying to give voice, in a totally emotional and non-rational way, to his deep-rooted love of interventionism. While I am desirous of mending this tiny personality flaw, my long-term goal is to suggest the kind of politics and policies that are needed to restore good sense to this important debate. Unfortunately, much remains to be done. As you may have noticed, I plan to keep the faith. This is a choice I have made; your choice is up to you.'
