You might wish to read the QOTD
thread from last night concerning your comment “poaching is unseemly.”

“OK. This
situation has way more information than I want to process and collate and
decide on.”
As I said, I don’t have any advertising on my
blog nor do I make a single penny from it. I was merely offering it as a place
for HA regulars to meet BECAUSE NEARLY ALL OF THEM HAVE SAID THAT THEY WILL
LEAVE HA IF FB REGISTRATION BECOMES MANDATORY IN ORDER TO COMMENT ON THIS SITE.
[blah blah blah]
If you consider that poaching, then I’m guilty
as charged.

“I understand
poaching to be poaching members, whether or not money is involved. You host,
you’re substituting your authority for Ed’s and AP’s in making admin decisions,
and admin decisions will be made on membership issues. Your interest beyond
money, I don’t know enough about you.
As I consider
myself a HotGasian, I understand you wanting to keep the HotGas atmosphere as
it is. I enjoy the interactions here. I’d only post via facebook using a fake
name, if I had to.
You want to be
Prince Charming on the white horse, well, there’s more to it than that. It took
hard work to form the HotGas community. My attitude is, you don’t like how it’s
being run, then start your own like they did, from scratch, or join one that’s
more to your liking. There’s a creeping feeling of dread among the admins when
a membership talks about moving to another platform. Why do that to Ed and AP?
Have they treated you unfairly?”

BS. I was NOT the first person to
suggest using my website as a meeting place for the DROVES of HA regulars, who
have gone on the record stating that they WILL LEAVE if FB registration becomes
mandatory.

My interest is this:
If the Council issues a diktat that
all villagers must join the Labour Party in order to meet at the townhall,
which has historically been used by conservatives and libertarians, then I will
open my home to anyone, who would like a place to meet and discuss the
pertinent issues of the day.
The HA administration is free to
make whatever decisions that it wants and HotAirians have made it clear over
the past week that they, too, will exercise their right to make their own
decisions as to whether they will consider lining the pockets of liberal
millionaires and billionaires in order to comment on a conservative website.

Actually, I don’t. I do not, have
not, nor ever will have a desire to grow a penis and ride in to save anyone on
a white stallion.
Penis envy
is soooooooooooooooooooo 19th century.

Are you kidding me? Do you seriously
think that I am trying to hurt Hot Air, Ed and/or Allahpundit? Really? I have
no ill-will or animus to them at all.
I LOVE HOT
AIR, ED & ALLAHPUNDIT AND LOATHE FACEBOOK….AS DO ABOUT 95% PERCENT OF THE
HOTGASIANS THAT HAVE COMMENTED ON THIS ISSUE. WE ARE **BEGGING** THEM NOT TO DO
THIS!!!
PS: You obviously did not read my
response to you yesterday. I will find it for you.

Look at the timestamps from Tuesday
night’s QOTD:
“We do need to keep in touch. I’ve been going
to start a blog, but still haven’t had time. Perhaps we can hook up over at
“Resist We Must’s” blog? I’m checking out for the night but will check this
thread in the morning.”

“You can all use my blog, if you want. I was thinking about
starting a companion community site where people can register to post articles.
I don’t care about language although I think that we could
all agree that some decorum (overt racism, anti-Semitism, etc.) would warrant
warnings or bannings. On the community page, we could make decisions as a
community.
As you all know, I don’t have any advertising on my blog and
make no money off of it so you there would be no aggravating pop-up ads, etc.
I love HA, but I hate FB and will never join it. If HA goes
the way of FB, I — like many of you — will be out of here.
Anyhoo, I just wanted to raise the possible alternative.
Obviously, my feelings wouldn’t be hurt if you guys said no. It’s not a vanity
offer. Just an alternative offer to avoid FB tyranny.

Then, start on Page 4 mid-thread and
read the comments from people, who were actually there when the entire subject
came up:

....which is why only bloviating ignoramuses would jump into
a debate, not knowing the facts, and accuse someone without the evidence to
back up their claims. Bloviating
ignoramuses like President Obama and Harry Reid are known to make wild-ass
allegations and smears because, well, "acting stupidly" that's just how
they roll...
Apology accepted.

"I was interested enough to read some of it, but my honest opinion is
that you are spending too much of your time and considerable talent
rebutting claims that, to my knowledge, only one person has raised.
Quit sweating him and just keep doing what you do. You do it well! My
two cents…"

Thanks for your kind words. It is done now. I’ve destroyed his
arguments with actual timestamps. Basically, he did the equivalent of a
Harry Reid. Accusing me of “poaching” and trying to hurt Hot Air, Ed,
and Allah were charges that I would not — could not — leave unanswered.
As I proved, the first mentions of the possibility of using my blog as a
meeting place in the event of mandatory FB registration came from
another poster and was seconded nearly 2 hours before I even weighed in on
the subject.
The man falsely accused me of trying to hurt good people and defamed
me by implying that I had some nefarious motivation. Turning the other
cheek is not my nature. Perhaps, it is the lawyer in me, but when
someone makes a blatantly and demonstrably false allegation, I will take
him apart bit-by-bit with the truth and the evidence to back it up.
For those kinds of people, it is simply not enough to tell them that they
are wrong. They must be obliterated by the facts and humiliated enough
to think twice before ever doing such again either to me or anyone else
on Hot Air.
As I said, it is now over and I have returned to regularly-scheduled programming.
