On balance

Excellent comment from Planeshift at Liberal Conspiracy:

Everytime terrorism is discussed there needs to be a representative of the 9-11 truthers to argue that al qaida doesn’t exist and it was all Dick Cheney. Everytime the business news is read out I want a marxist academic to explain how business is shafting the working class. During astronomy documentries I want flat earthers and people who think the moon landings were faked to be given airtime. I want Nazis invited onto history programmes to defend Hitler, tobacco companies to be allowed to argue that smoking is cool and lung cancer isn’t that painful, representatives of organised crime to point out the contribution they make to the economy, misanthropic social workers to argue that Baby P would have only ended up an asbo kid, animal rights extremists to rant about meat during cookery programmes, Athiests on songs of praise, peadophiles to discuss the age of consent, tribal elders from Pakistan to defend honour killings, Malthusians to defend the HIV virus, etc.

Is that it?

You're down to one post a month and even that is written by someone else. And it's a piss poor one at that!

Get a grip, 'Teabag', or is married middle-age getting to you?

Wow. David Duff ignoring the substance of a post and resorting to ad hominems. That's rare.

David Duff said...

Not here it isn't, particularly if the post is as infantile as this one. It reminds me of the spittle-flecked ravings of a blogger I know who studies pond life but does not yet appear to have recognised himself.

Self-awareness is a wonderful thing.

David Duff said...

Indeed it is, and I hope our so-called 'marine biologist' takes it to heart. Alas, I regret to suggest that if he attempts to study his own reflection in the pond he is more than likely to fall in!

I am spending my twilight years making an utter fool of myself on-line and nurturing petty grudges against people vastly more intelligent than myself. Envy my life.

Is that the sanatogen just kicking in David?

David Duff said...

Indeed, 'Pisces' is right, "same shit", as he so elegantly puts it. I trod in one pile whilst reading 'Teabag's' drivel, and the other when 'Little Willy' (aka: Punk non-Scientist) regurgitated his stale breath in the comments section. And, no, 'Ill Man', it wasn't the Sanatogen, more likely the Laphroaig!

Dear Larry Teabag,

I don't think your David Duff character is funny any more. It's too far fetched. Please stop doing him and come up with some new characters.

Yours,

Unamused
