Know More: We Respond 2.0, We Respond

It always blows me away when bloggers who are extremists, posting extreme opinions on socially sensitive topics, act surprised when someone reacts to them.

Charles over at Little Green Footballs got the following email: "I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut...." Yeah, it is offensive and the writer shouldn't have said it, but it is a pretty general death threat.

What does Charles do then? Track the commenter obsessively when he makes visits to the LGF site, posting updates to the original post designed to keep the commenter coming back and further whipping himself into a frenzy.

I take it back. This kind of behavior doesn't blow me away - it is a calculated act to increase their own standing in the eyes of their supporters and maybe attract someone like me to talk about them.

How can you call Little Green Footballs extremists?

All LGF is doing is posting legit news stories from around the world on all the Islamic violence going on and has been going on way before Bush was even a glimmer in your eye.

You say LGF is "posting extreme opinions on socially sensitive topics"

Socially sensitive topic's of beheadings of infidels, and Islamic terror done in the name of ALLAH on innocent people.

Whatever...if you are offended over people voicing their opinions about Islamic extremism you are crazy.
