benhocking's Journal: I now have two "freaks"

I've picked up a second "freak". What I find amusing is that I'm fairly certain that the first person made me their foe because my position was too conservative for him/her (I'm anti-drug use), and the second persion made me their for because my position was too liberal for him/her (I'm pro-environment). No biggie, I just found it interesting.

Also, my statements on global warming seem to have attracted one or more foul-mouthed ACs. Typically, I try to avoid responding to ACs because (a) they rarely have anything of value to say, and (b) I have no idea if the person I'm responding to is the same one from whom I get a response, etc. I think I've managed to stand by that philosophy today, but I was tempted once or twice to defend my "honor". In the end, I decided they're just not worth it.

Freaks

They're probably just angry at you for being smart and having well-thought out ideas. At least that's the impression I've gotten from reading your stuff. I never thought I'd admit that someone in Charlottesville was clever, but dammit, sometimes there's no denying it.

Thanks for the compliment

And I'm definitely not the most clever person in Charlottesville by far! (That's not to say that we don't also have more than our share of loonies, though.)

Having freaks is a good thing. :)
