Rather that write about individual Terri Schiavo stories, this post will serve as the one and only spot for the days Schiavo news and comments. It will be updated (without notice) throughout the day. If the case doesn’t interest you move along – there’s plenty of other material here…

Talk show host Don Crawford notes that the passions felt on all sides of the Schiavo case is evidence that such ethical and moral discourse is vitally relevant and needed. [WND]

Terri died Thursday morning (more). This picture is alleged to have been taken Wednesday, on a camera phone that was smuggled past security. The photo is old – ignore…Meanwhile 49 people have been arrested trying to enter Terri Schiavo’s hospice attempting to bring her water…
PS – If you keep up the vitriol, Kevin may want to remove the pot you pea in. [That means “lock the thread” using kitchen slang.]
Psst: As usual, you’ve got it backasswards. It’s you and cindy that spew the vitriol because you can’t tell him what to write and post on his own blog. So instead, you two whine.

The term “literati”, which seems to tie you in knots, is my own term (I did not quote you) to describe the news readers (and writers, hence “literati”) of the media. Read into it whatever bias you choose – I’m flexible. Fingerpaint away. Posted by: AnonymousDrivel at March 30, 2005 10:08 PM
See? There you go again. And here from what you’ve been trying to paint about yourself over on Paul’s ongoing Ooze threads, that you’re someone who prides him/herself on being analytical, and yet you continue to respond and try to offer “comments” about the comments of others that employ those pivotal and quite elaborately painted descriptions — and quite innacurate ones at that.
Me as being “tied in knots” and similar.
It’s the language of someone who is either really, really trying to offend others or is just careless if not wreckless about pulling word punches.
Tied in knots, I am not. Not even, not nearly.
It’s a tad boring to devote much time to trying to figure out the Anonymous personality, however, but I only comment about it ongoing because you continue to diss the comments of others based upon pumping yourself up.
Which is a problem as to your credibility. To my read.
I think you can safely now abandon all hope of anyone else accepting you as being “analytical” as source, what with so much flowery and quite inaccurately flowery rhetoric about the comments (and persons) of others participating.
Now I have to do laundry.
RE: -S-‘s post (March 30, 2005 11:11 PM) with some carryover from previous posts
You were wondering how I came to the conclusion that I did regarding your first comment. I supplied my explanation. You explicitly obsessed over the term “literati” (maybe even to the point of scare quotes though I’m not sure of intent) and then threw out “finger-painting ‘intellectualism'” and “Mr. Cabbagehead maturity”. I explained my use of the word in view of open hostility and responded in like, yet tempered, manner.
I read your words and formulate an opinion based upon them. I find no need to filter your work and do not have a desire to do so. I offer commentary and it is my own. If you find that I have indeed reinterpreted your work and tried to misrepresent it, then by all means, restate your point and correct me. I have not done what you have claimed, at least not intentionally. But words can certainly be misinterpreted.
-S- – It’s [my use of “tied in knots”] the language of someone who is either really, really trying to offend others or is just careless if not wreckless about pulling word punches.
“Complete fantasy?” “Finger-painting ‘intellectualism’?” “Mr. Cabbagehead maturity?” Tell me about pulling word punches and wrecklessness. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the color but please dispense with the innocence act.
-S- – It’s a tad boring to devote much time to trying to figure out the Anonymous personality…
Why waste the time in virtual Rorschachs at all? Why not address the points whether from blog entry or follow-up? Facts and reasonable opinion stand on their own no matter who states them or where they are stated… colorful personality or lack therof be damned. However, if you interpret opinion as unreasonable, be prepared to substantiate the claim lest some consider one a reflexive ranter.

Wow, I didn’t know you were this blog’s spokesperson! “[A]bandon all hope of anyone else…”? Mighty presumptuous. Anyway, I’ll repeat. My commentary is mine own and I’ll present it in whatever format expresses things the best way possible to make my point. You’re free to read, critique, respond, like, hate, or do laundry. I’ll let my statements and references stand or fall on their merits and you may do with them what you will. Just don’t get bent out of shape (oops, there’s another) when I respond in appropriate tone.
Is the food fight over? I’d almost rather talk about the Schiavo case…
Julie, there would be some gravitas in your arrogance if there were any substance behind your statements — why don’t you read my complete comment and consider the question posed before you make offhand and reckless responses—

“If, for instance, you were to be so offended by Rob’s tireless ranting (akin to Tony’s faxes??) and sought an injunction against his continuing with annoying and boorish comments …. do you think a Court could enjoin him? Of course not. Same as the guy shouting outside Cochran’s house, isn’t it?”
Do you see it now julie? The state action? I.e., the request to the judiciary to impose prior restraint? The utilization of a public forum, like a newspaper? The similarity to the guy shouting outside Johnny Cochran’s house — the guy you (corrrectly) predicted was likely to prevail at SCOTUS after a CAL appellate Court enjoined his free speech?
Terri has just died, her birth family barred from her room at the end.
May they find peace.
Why are comments on Wizbang not protected speech? Answer: Because it is privately owned and no state action is involved. I answered your question based on the facts: Wizbang has the right to dictate what types of speech are acceptable on his blog and ban anyone for any reason from posting. You then tried to spin it into something more than it is by analogizing it to an entirely different and irrelevant set of facts. Besides, I’m not required to answer every question you pose because, one, you are not paying me, and two, I don’t want to interact with you based on the behavior you went on to demonstrate. I only responded to you in the first place to prevent your statement from misleading anyone on the law. My quip about the Tory case was based solely on the comments of some of the justices during oral argument – nothing more. I suggest you actually read the case(s) and try to understand it before you rely on it for any authority. Now, piss off.
julie, your original comment had nothing to do with whether or not Wizbang could ban someone from commenting. You’re a fraud. Get help.
Where did you get your degree? Out of a crackerjack box? Once again, piss off. And learn to read.
Indeed no one but Terri and her family will ever truely know how much pain the last 15 years has held. All that can be said is God rest her soul and be with all of her family and loved ones except her bastered of a husband and anyone who had anything and everything to do with this terrible situation. And in judging them may they all pay the ultimate price for what they have done to this poor soul. God bless Terri and family.
