as small as a world and as large as alone

“Publish and answer everything I say or you are not engaging with your critics” comments are so infuriating and sort of hilarious.  I feel like I’m on Sixty Minutes or something.

“Mr. Pervocracy, you haven’t spoken publicly about allegations that you were slightly wrong on a blog post you made three years ago about butts.  Why the mysterious silence?  What do you say to those who claim you are failing to engage with your constituents?  This won’t just go away, you know.  You owe the public some answers.  YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT BUTTS.”

People are seriously, seriously *not* entitled to attention from every blogger they disagree with.

And no one should be responsive to every last piece of criticism they get.

Yep.

Especially when the criticism isn’t actually criticism.  It’s an attack disguised as a criticism.  And then they can say “Well sie doesn’t take criticism well, obviously…” and score points because you won’t engage with them.
