Xxtra, Xxtra, Reed Owl Abou Tit

So, there's a new blogging consortium thingy coming out.  Its inauguration will have PZ Lyers, and some other people.  Ophelia Benson* might make a cameo or two to further reduces its prestige. At any rate, I was slumming at her place and reading the ever enlightening comment section when I noticed PZ put in an entrance. I have no idea why I was as amused by this as I am since the truth of the situation is actually quite repugnant.  Alas, humor is a devious mistress.

Let's take a quick look at how committed to open, free exchange of information PZ is, shall we? It's not like someone who's liberal and committed to Enlightenment values of free thought would make a game out of forcing other people to adopt his views lest be dismissed from even be able to disagree with him, would he?

*A friend of mine--who had to make the terrible admission he regularly reads Ophelia Benson--pointed out to me that this charming little bundle of reactionary censorship loving vitriol is practically my neighbor.  Now I'm going to have to start skimming event invites to make sure she and I don't attend the same ones. I doubt we do; I'm fairly confident I'd remember meeting a person like her were we introduced to one another.  Of course, there's no telling what oddities the universe might have in store for me, so I'll need to make sure I keep an eye open to guard against having a perfectly respectable fish course soured by this grape.

Thanks, nonny.

Link has been corrected. No idea how that snuck in.

Also, beware the site there isn't yet live; so, you'll only see the maintenance mode.

You have talent and should apply.

I second the motion. Let's see if we can start a campaign to get ElevatorGuy in the running for a spot in the prestigious blogging consortium.

Nah, don't bother. The whole thing keeled over because their provider couldn't handle the bandwidth. Hilarity has ensued over at Pharyngula.

Competence not too high on the agenda. Your experience of hosting will probably make you spit coffee everywhere.

PZ's comment seems to be slightly untrue given recent events with TF00t....
