KANSAS CITY NEWSMAN LEGEND BLOGGER BILL TAMMEUS QUITS AND BLAMES TROLLS!!!

Actually, it looks like he'll staying busy with more rewarding stuff but his parting shot should hit home for our community . . .

"For quite a few years I have not allowed comments on this blog because when I did allow them readers turned the comments section into a theist-atheist pitched battle of nastiness. I decided I did not want to be responsible for creating one more platform for uncivil discourse in our culture."

  6. At least his attacks on the Catholics and Jews. As well as his ass kissing of Muslims. It his own family must have been sick of him excusing the swine who killed his nephew. So, dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Billy.

    It’s been kinda rough
    I’m not a young thing and and can’t swing a putter.

    Can you bake a cherry pie - Billy Boy, Billy Boy
    Can you bake a cherry pie - harming Billy?

    I can’t bake a cherry pie

  10. If he didn't take comments on his blogposts, how did he know that people were reacting pro or con?

  11. No loss here, that’s for sure.

  13. ^^^ Good call.

  15. Bill...you blame the atheists and the theists. Wrong. It's the atheists who threatened theists...and often with violence. Remember the little Russian Iggy? Wow!

  17. I dont see why Bill's blog was even important...with NO COMMENTS for TEN YEARS he was totally out of touch with whatever readership he had. He's toast. It's over, skippy.
