Nerf-Coated World

If you don't have something nice to say...

Vik Rubenfeld at The Big Picture notices something interesting about a lefty blog:

Deliberate insults: 3.
Actual wish of harm to a person: 1.
Illwill shown to: almost everybody discussed.
Goodwill shown to: no one.
Yikes.

Just to clarify: Fake NCW reader Fakir e-Ader writes:

Am I to understand, per the title of this post, that if someone doesn't have something nice to say -- especially about the Bush Administration -- that they should not say anything at all? That they should SILENCE themselves? That their DISSENT be STIFLED!?
Yes. Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Thanks for writing in, Fakir!
