Delawaredem back in at Delawareliberal-jason out?

Delawaredem, after quitting yesterday, now has a new post up at Delawareliberal.

There is no other comment on the blog regarding yesterday's firings, quittings, and general disagreement.

Meanwhile, in my comments section on the previous post, this monring I have received this anonymous comment from someone claiming to be jason [and it does sound like him, but I am waiting for confirmation]:

For the record, I am no longer with DelawareLiberal. Some team members and I had significant differences about the blog's direction and I decided that it was probably time for me to move on.

It is a great blog and they are great bloggers and great friends who will continue to have a real impact in Delaware for a long time.

Today there is even less legitimate "4th estate" media in Delaware than when I started commenting on blogs eight years ago. So blogs like this one and DelawareLiberal are more imporant than ever.

donviti's account still appears to be gone.

Pretending nothing happened is not going to be an effective strategy, guys.

Comments

WTF. If he did quit, I certainly hope it was his own doing and not a force-out. He owns the damn thing. Contrast to Burris who happily walked off totally on his own accord (as did I, but I didn't own it, like Burris did or Jason did/does).

Damn it, I knew my selfish act of leaving would cause them to unravel. They couldn't take the absence of my counter-balance. ;-)

Yeah, right!
Well, I attempted to comment on it and managed to get sucked up into spam. I can only wonder how their spam filter is currently set up to catch! Anywho, DDem responded that my comment will remain in spam until this evening, after a post on the subject is released.

I'll try to be open minded.

Of course, if this is all orchestrated, then I don't know if I'll enjoy it or be pissed for wating my time with it.

I dunno, I believe this about as much as I believed Jason's last seven resignations from blogging or that DelDem really believes my party affiliation has earned me a ciggy and blindfold or that these blogospheric personality melodramas amount to roughly a hoot in hell.

Jason - you're always welcome here, to the extent you can embrace liberty against the creeping utopian collectivism and partisan bomb-throwing of your former blog. Come to the light!

TPN,

Thanks for putting out the welcome mat. How about we compromise and I only comment to endorse creepy utopian collectivism and parisian bon bon-throwing?

LOL, Jason!

But you can't seriously be leaving the scene.

I have no doubt Steve would be as glad as me to have you do guest opposing view posts anytime you like, and I mean that seriously.

We need to all get together at a Drinking Libertarianly and sort all this nonsense out.
I blame myself for starting this trend.

Seriously, though, I would be interested in reading a juicy tell-all describing the sordid behind-the-scenes goings-on at DL that precipitated this drama fest.

Jason, I'm sure your buddies here at DelLibertarian would enjoy a guest post on the topic!!!

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?
