We've already said goodbye....

Okay tell the truth folks, who expected it to last even this long? Jim and I got kicked off Tongue Tied today for generating ten times the usual feedback, all of it hate mail. It's like, what were they expecting, that right wing readers suddenly confronted with a complete change of format to the left would be sending love notes? We did our job with due diligence, the other right wing blogger disappeared after the first couple of days. So it's our fault it turned into a left wing echo chamber overnight? What were we supposed to do? Invite Ann Coulter to step in?

The whole thing feels suspiciously like a setup to keep the traffic up while Scott was incommunicado but - no expectations, no regrets. It was fun while it lasted and who knows what effect it might have had on the average Joe that we pissed off? A little truth never hurt anybody and understanding often comes after anger. At least I know my meme got through to a lot of people. Besides, I need the free time for another project I've been neglecting.

Meanwhile, do you think my goodbye post was gracious enough?
