Now, I wouldn't say that Gary Welsh is crazy. I certainly wouldn't say that he comes across bipolar on occasion. I definitely wouldn't say that he's been known to stretch the truth well past the breaking point into "liar" territory. No, it would be really inappropriate of me to state that during election season he's been known to go over the edge and lose it. And of all things, I would never condone insinuations as to the fact that Gary left his brain in Charleston.
Of course I wouldn't.
But some people do, and rather than take his lumps like the rest of the blogosphere -- it's what we spend most of our time doing on these things, after all -- the guy appears to have a two-prong response to these situations:
1. He writes you an incoherent, obscenity-laced email berating you for having the audacity to disagree with him.
I've been on the receiving end of the former, but the latter has always been for those luckier than yours truly. You know, people like Bil Browning of The Bilerico Project and our very own Tyrion, who appears to have run afoul of the famed Advance Indiana blogger.
Perhaps a little bit of investigation - or even a pleasant e-mail - would have helped your appeal to me. There's an old saying that you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar, but this whole things reeks of bullshit already so I'll just lay my cards on the table.
The whole thing is great, so why not indulge yourself in some blogorific fun? And be sure to leave Bil a comment thanking him for standing up to some pathetic bullying.
