A Faithful Reader (of the GMM column, not this journal) sent me the following email:
I did notice a gentleman referring to your column in a less than
pleasant light. He was referring to your Livejournal article. In his response he
did seem to miss the points you had tried to make.
I thouhgt it may wish your attention

Yes, I went and looked at it. I'm not going to post rebuttal comments to this guy, because it obviously won't make any impact on him. All in all, I'm amused by the whole thing. "Manners themselves are an artificial construction of basically, formalised lying, speak your mind, we should be past that now." Gosh, couldn't the same thing be said about most aspects of civilization and society?
I'm going to be giggling about this all day, I think.

Oh. Him.
He's banned from my LJ. He's threatened to "come over and kick my ass" several times, but as far as I know he's never even TRIED to leave the UK and do that.

Re: Oh. Him.
Go look at the comments below his article. I'm hardly the only one who thinks the way I do about him. :)
VERY satisfying.
