Congeries of cross connected concepts
Since no one actually reads this, everyone is unaware that I read Little Green Footballs quite a bit (judging by the number of links I have over to it).
Apparently MSNBC Weblog Central has smeared LGF. Having read this myself, I tend to agree although I think some of the defense of LGF is a bit overwrought. MSNBC claims that LGF supporters are splitting semantic hairs, but I think that there is a clear qualitative difference in the questions "Is LGF hateful?" and "Is LGF too hateful?". The latter carries the premise that LGF is hateful, which is hardly proven (and which I dispute).
Again, I find some of the commentators at LGF a bit much and possibly hateful, but that's very different from LGF itself. Moreover the over top people are generally called on it by other commentators. The overall community has a very high signal to noise ratio, one that is exceptionally high for the net in my opinion. That's why I read it. There's not that much cruft and almost always something that is informative or truly thought provoking.
So, Mr. Johnson, although you'll never see this keep on going. I've put my money where my keyboard is and donated to LGF.
