I Have A Fan

I get a few messages per week like the one below. I actually think it's kind of cute that someone would get that worked up over a rejected blog submission, and I even kind of admire this person's persistence, but "Stink-Bomb"?

I think the post deletion criteria is almost non-existent on this blog. If a post actually gets deleted by Gus or Pinky, I can only shudder to imagine what must be in it! Think XXX-type stuff.

Thank you for saving our virgin-eyes, guys! Keep up the good work.

Well, lets see..the eat my shorts comes from the simpsons show,
and the stink-bomb idea is probably from either spongebob, or a game like this:

So, i'd say you have a little one there. The question is, what is he doing on the LANL blog?

This blog serves a very VERY useful purpose in keep us informed while management continues to lie to us and/or hide important information.

I don't know who this person is (Greg Mello?) who does not like what Gussie et all are doing with the blog, but I do agree with the 5:57 AM posting.

I am giving this blog and the snobs that contribute to it a dose of reality. That reality is: you are not omniscient, all knowing and all seeing. I got the verbiage for this post not from the simpsons nor sponge bob but right from the self-important snobs who frequent this blog.

So filter away as we in Livermore watch LANL turn into a gigantic, smoldering, steaming pit production facility. An inevitable result of poor management and a "my-shit doesn't-stink", myopic workforce.

Later...

Hey, 8:34 AM. Later? Why not make it much, much later. I hear LLNL now has a swell new blog. Go spend your time over there.

Who are you kidding, Gus. The purpose of this blog is to foster the victim mentality that you subscribe to. I've had several posts deleted that were no more venal that merely pointing out your persistent victimhood. You're no better than Mikey at being balanced. Dare you to post this one.

I said that I kind of admired my fan's persistence, but I have to admit that my admiration is wearing thin.

I suspect that this is the last that we will hear from our friend.

Thank you Gus, thank you Pinky…you two are phenomenal! No, courageous! I don't agree with everything you say, and you don't always agree with my occassional postings, but that's ok. We don't have to agree to be respectful of the fact that we all are unique human beings with unique experiences that leads us to have unique views of the world. In a democracy, isn’t that who we are supposed to be--individuals? And if it’s absolute concurrence we want, then a dictatorship that censors all opposing views is what we will end up with. For those that want this, perhaps you've been at the Lab too long. Maybe it's time for you to rediscover our history as a nation.
