Well.<\/p>\nWell.<\/p>\n
That was underwhelming<\/a>.<\/p>\n First, I make a brutally funny, completely accurate joke about that risible demagogue, Keith at Housing Panic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Then Keith offers to sell out his weblog and his entire constituency of mouth-breathing morons to escape the ridicule that is his just desserts, his one indisputable claim on the wonders of the universe<\/a>.<\/p>\n His “offer” is essentially extortionate.<\/a> The “or else”?:<\/p>\n A war with the thousands of HP’ers so harsh and loud your practice and reputation in Arizona likely wouldn’t survive (beyond the damage you’re doing yourself)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now anyone who is paying any attention here — a company that excludes Generalissimo Foghorn Leghorn — could have predicted with perfect precision what I would do in the face of something like this: Make it public, of course, in spades<\/a>.<\/p>\n So: Keith puts on a predictable pantomime of outsized outrage, heavy on the high-moral dudgeon<\/a>. And the mouth-breathing morons zoom in to BloodhoundBlog to poke around at random and issue inane comments — heavy on the profanity, light on the grammar.<\/p>\n This much is a big yawn. There are<\/i> thoughtful, intelligent people among the BubbleHeads, but I can’t imagine that any of them is so lacking in self-respect that he would take “orders” from a detestable thug like Generalissimo Leghorn.<\/p>\n That’s as may be. The thuglets who do shake a leg the Leghorn way gave another perfect demonstration of why I have referred to them as Brown Shirts and Flying Monkeys<\/a>. One Junior G-Man dug up and published my address (ahem — it’s on our web site) here and on Housing Panic. An amazingly drunk man in Connecticut left 23 very long incoherent voicemails on my cell phone. A cadre of relatively literate BubbleHeads tried to figure our how to censor me by means of Arizona Association of Realtors or Arizona Department of Real Estate complaints. It might occur to you to wonder if they have not heard of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution — but of course they have. Thuggery and principle are moral opposites, never doubt it.<\/p>\n There’s more, but it’s all nothing. I told Keith in advance that it would come to nothing<\/a>.
