Someone else hates me
Sunday April 09, 2006; part of: Journalism

From feedback for an old Wormseye column:

I read with interest your article in the Guardian entitled “A worm’s eye view”, for it never ceases to amaze me how journalists often miss the whole picture, when the hyperbole of sanctimonious drivel appends the page or violates the pixels of my computer screen.

I feel like a moustachio-ed Sicilian villain: "I violate your pixels!" "I Append your page!" Curiously enough, the same article pissed off David Aaronovitch.

"What has she done to provoke such nastiness...?"

Er, accusing people of "self-righteous certainty" and "gobsmacking ignorance" is fighting talk where I come from.

If she can't take the heat she might try and be a little bit more temperate with her descriptions of those who have pointed out her logical failings.

re...pissed off David Aaronovitch.

Ill just go and read your ville villanous sniveling to see what outraged him.

Textile formatting works here. Double hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes, quotes are automatically smartened. You can put dashes and asterisks around text to make italics bold and other silly effects easily.
  • Text wrapped in Asterisks which * will be bold. The asterisks must touch each end of the bold text. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Text wrapped in underscores - _ - will be italicised. The underscores must touch each end of the italics. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Paragraphs starting bq. will be block quoted. There must be no space before the "b" and one space after the full stop.
  • A hyperlink is made by wrapping the link text in double quotes, followed immediately by a colon, then the URL. If there is a question mark in the URL, wrap the whole lot in square brackets.
  • I use two classes to mark up text that deserves it. sane text looks like this. loony text looks like that. The syntax for those is %(sane)[space] sane text %; loony is left as an exercise to the reader.
