Nate Kushner is a Sadistic Defamer. In which a blogger serves just desserts to a self-righteous vigilante.

Yeah, I think I'll take a nap and then go watch some SpongeBob.
Now if only the Sciavo mess would be over so soon.

boy, was I mistaken. I thought Nate Kushner was moderately amusing, but not terribly funny. After reading the linked FPP, I must revise: by comparison, Kushner is a comic genius.

Is "Laura K. Pahl" on her way to becoming the "new Terri Schiavo"? Film at 11.

MaxVonCretin is a Mild-Mannered Satirist. In which nobody raises a dull circle to the next level of soon-to-be-deleted nevermind.

Wow. If no one likes a snitch, what will people say about an especially childish and unoriginal one?

Sorry, I seem to have overcaffeinated today. Lesson learned. Delete away...

No, no, I want to see where you're going with this.

Is this Nate Kushmer something you'd need a brand new Blogger blog to know about?

Is this really just desserts?
No. Just desserts would be pie and cake with no meat and potatoes. It might be just deserts though.

Wait guys, lets give this new blog a chance. I'm sure if the author fleshes out some of the story lines and...
Nuke it and fuck it.

I knew you were going completely apeshit in the other discussion, MaxVonCretin, but I have to applaud you for taking it so much further with this self-link. Whatever happened to the notion that holding private people to public ridicule is "cruel and unusual punishment. Vigilante punishment, no less"?

Well, Nate has made himself, and his actions, public. So your complaint of hypocrisy against MaxVonCretin is without merit.
Bad, bad, bad post, though.
And Breezeway, there is an unspoken agreement that we don't post inline images very often because there's enormous potential for abuse and we're damn lucky Matt allows it at all.

Aw, come on, he said he was sorry and over-caffeinated.

Apology accepted. Bad post, though. The double post aspect makes it interestingly similar to the kind of ethical lapse plagarism is at a university.

Over-caffeinated is defense enough in my book for almost anything except murder and unartistic baby-tossing.
I'm pretty sure this falls under unartistic baby-tossing.

What fruitcake said that? Oh right, it was me. Well, all that goes out the window as soon as you start writing about yourself on a blog.
That said, I remain extremely repentant for the profound worthlessness of my front page post. No doubt most will agree that I deserve whatever I get.

I find it amusing that MetaFilter users think that private figures should not be publicly held up to ridicule on a weblog. The number of posts and comments doing exactly that on MetaFilter has to number in the hundreds.

Yes, he immediately took down the LaShawn Barber picture that I posted. Maybe LaShawn Barber, Nate Kushner and Laura K. Pahl could all get together and do a panel discussion of viral marketing? How to drive traffic to your blog in three easy lessons?

To me, that seems like a bogus place to draw the line. If personal blogs are an extension of real life, then we should be able to write about people who come into our acquaintance.
If Nate wants to describe a random stranger who spammed him over IM to write a paper for her, I don't think some perceived "right of privacy" should prevent him from naming names.
