I hate to admit it . . . I'm a regular reader of Hearne's blog KC Confidential.
However, I've noticed some rather nasty vitriol directed his way . . . Honestly, I had to insult just about every white person in rural Missouri before I started getting anything close to the hate that was left in the comments on his site.
Saturday night there was a torrent of nastiness on Hearne's blog in the comment section . . . Looking at it now, I see that Hearne and his fellow bloggers have removed the attacks, most of which were in horrible taste. While that's good for peace of mind, it doesn't inspire active discussion . . . And that's really the interesting point here:
Hearne is no longer protected by the big media glass house and security guards from The Star . . . He's a blogger, he's on his own.
Safety, comfort zones and potential stalker issues are always a concern for bloggers . . . In my rare conversations with female bloggers, I've always wondered how they dealt with security . . . Of course, I never leave my basement so I'm good against all of the d-bags who might vehemently disagree with me . . . Also, I'm always right so that helps . . .
Still . . . With anonny editors and IT people no longer protecting Hearne, only now is he subject to the real wrath of the mob and he can see up close and personal how nasty readers can get . . . I'm waiting to see how he deals with it and while I don't like deleting comments . . . Hearne seems to be going that route.
Meanwhile . . . A great many of you d-bags have shown remarkable insight in taking TKC apart and helping to keep this blog somewhat honest . . . Which is nice in between random racial and teh ghey remarks.
Nice ass.
ReplyDeletemeh, I don't read it.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, my. Poor Hearne. I can tell that yur hanky is all damp from crying after someone called out Christopher for leaving his wife and the two kids.
ReplyDeleteHearne, whois so fine and wonderful and really not that bad for a white suburbanite Johnson Countian, the kind of folks you normally despised.
But since he paid for lunch and kind of accepts you,,,,gosh, we have to make exectpions, don't we.
And to think people would say nasty things about him, when you never make personal attacks and say hateful, nasty things about people you don't even knolw because you are ....you are what?
Infatuated with Hearne? Hoping he might pay you to work for his sorry ass?
What a pathetic sell out you are, TKC. Here's hoping your loyal fans compare the above post with all the others and recognize you for the poser that you are.
This realy is a joke blog.
Was it the Club, Tony? Did he take you to the Country Club? I like to think you atleast got to schmooze with the other honchos, wild man. You DO know that Hearne is one of the Kansas City upper crust? The ones always keeping the non-whites in their place? Or maybe you're just playing him. Yeah, that's it. You're playing him.
ReplyDeleteThis grosses me out. Tony, Hearne, the "blogosphere".
ReplyDeleteI'm leaving for Facebook.
These comments gross me out! Don't you people have anything better to do than MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS?
ReplyDeleteWhy shouldn't Tony and Hearne be cordial and communicate? We're not middle schoolers here. Geez.
And, since when do people take the comments section as the gospel truth? Did anyone ever stop to get the facts about who/why was leaving the untruthful comments on Hearne's blog? For the record, he did NOT "leave his wife w/ two kids." He's a good dad.
ANYONE who minds their own business on this blog isn't reading it.
