Well, I wouldn't call anything about that TMZ piece Pajiba's Finest Hour. People go nuts when publically announcing their moral outrage, wantonly insulting all and sundry into a higher state of consciousness (somehow) and not seeing the cognitive disconnect inherent in wishing death on fellow posters whilst eulogizing about the sad passing of a baby. If there isn't already such a term as 'Death By Compassion', that's a mistake on the part of the English language. Haughty? Perhaps. Excoriate away and confirm my point, rein in my brassafrax-spewing tongue as though I were a common fishwife and 'teach me' for being too arch. Make a voodoo doll in my honour and put it on your tree (I'll get started by telling you my two food allergies are artichokes and pineapple, I'll be very uncomfortable). I'm only five feet tall, so a ceiling-level effigy would be a nice change in altitude. Of course, I had the option of not reading it and yes, I'm back, so 'ha-ha loser' for me. I just wanted to make an appeal for a touch more civility between the warring states. Now, I'm shutting up, all is well. Merry Acid Bath, Everyone!
