But sadly (yes), this kind of fracas isn't all that uncommon. There are a lot of people out there who are so mean-spirited that they go apeshit when they see someone they dislike being helped by online donations. Most of them don't take it quite this far, but I suspect that it's happened more often than is common knowledge. And there's also the case, well-known among <i>Harry Potter</i> fans, of Cassie Clare's fangirls <a href="http://www.fanhistory.com/index.php/Charitygate" rel="nofollow">going after a cancer patient</a> whom they felt had gotten in their way.

Who the hell spends time accusing someone of not having cancer? If someone's a well-known pathological liar, maybe. But good lord, that's just cruel, unconscionable, and obscene.

That BOSSY site is Teh Funny, but sadly, many of the commenters don't seem to understand Sadly,No and are outraged at both the main contenders, feeling that they're somehow 'cheating' their beloved Bossy out of the win. I suspect most of the Bossy folks, although quite literate, are not political.

I intelligently looked in Firefox's Preferences, found Cookies, and hand-deleted the two cookies for the Wizbang site where the poll is. Then I even more intelligently closed out FF and re-started it. Now when I click a link to the poll, I get sent to the Results page, and still get that "You already voted less than 24 hours ago" message. Did I? It's possible. I can't be more intelligent than this. I'll have to wait until tonight, apparently. It didn’t work.

I've read a few of their articles and didn't really find the, er, funny in any of them. A rant is still a rant, no matter what else you call it. I don't pretend I'm writing how-tos at my blog, do I? Good to see you up in the polls. Blogs with class are nicer to read. Wow, quite the little feud you and DUFU have going on.
