Popped in on DollarShort.org to see if that big meanie Ben ever let poor Mena get her banjo, and if she'd taken my advice about the Pete Seeger book when a slip to the main took me to yet another gripe about the griping over the vitrolic rants of good old Andrew Orlowski.

Now, first off, I don't know Andy-O, never met him and can't say one way or t'other about some of the bile that's been spilled these last few weeks other than that I can't believe I'm watching people excuse themselves over these absurd accusations this Andy-guy is said to spout. Ok, I did read his Googlewashing piece and, well, it did about as much for me as did listening to Stanton Freedman today on CFOS still believing the USAF is capable of a 50-year cover-up Roswell UFO conspiracy.

Anyway, I have a solution. How about, instead of wasting bitbreath on old Andy-O, we just standardize on a response. Something like

Oh, Andy, that's so sweet of you to say that.

then change the subject to something relevent. I mean, where is it written that anyone should actually care?

Maybe, if there was no rousing response of indignation and denial, he'd find some other worthy target. Like maybe Tinky-winky's handbag.
