On Commenting and GroupThought

Long-time readers know that I used to confront the Eco-Socialists over at Treehugger by 1) bringing a Freedom/Liberty viewpoint to them (which wasn’t all that well received most of the time) and 2) trying to hold up a mirror to their “inclusive” mantra to show their groupthink wasn’t inclusive nor “diverse.”

All of us who blog at GraniteGrok expect comments on the things we write, hoping to engage folks in thinking, in discussion, in exchanging ideas.  There is only one rule at GG and that is whatever we write – and whatever commenters post – must be family friendly.  That means, if your children – or your mother, for that matter – came across GG, they should be able to read anything posted and not be offended.  Perhaps they might not agree with what each of us writes, but they should never be offended by bad language or offensive images.

So, as I’ve begun blogging with a bit more frequency, I seem to have caught the fancy of one of GG’s long-time commenters who goes by the handle  ‘IWKAGGP’, or as ‘he’ has come to be revealed, ‘Hunter Dan’ who purports to be a school teacher.  I’m taking him at his word that he is male but for whatever reason, he seems to have a real problem with me, and not just with what I write.  From “IWKAGGP –

You can’t burp a zygote. You can’t put diapers on a zygote. You can’t breastfeed a zygote. You can’t potty train a zygote. Your comparison is “apples and oranges.”” To “IWKAGGP –  Her hair looks different in every picture”.

Thank the good Lord he didn’t pick up on my last year’s little Prada shoes!
