Warren Ellis Is A Charlatan

It's not his fault - You made him the 'Internet Jesus'

But Warren Ellis is not the Messiah

He's not even a prophet

I understand what you're saying mate, overall I agree. LJ/Facebook/twitter (GOD how much do I hate twitter??) can very often be the snake eating it's own tail.

Attacking the passivity of it all is a worthwhile assault, but how far can you attack the background noise of blogging via blogging/comments itself before you're just participating? (If we're still debating 15 comments after this one then I think we've derailed into that...)

... blah. Would like to meet up with you some time in the near future mate, talk for real instead of on here. Family stuff means my making ATOM isn't going to happen though so we'll have to come up with something else!

And, besides, you, yourself, aren't exactly the target 'audience' of that particular post - You actually do stuff and make things happen with your VJing ... You're the subject of Ellis' musings, not the target audience

Well, yes and no. I worry I talk a lot more about doing these things than actually doing them, but on balance I am doing the the 9-5, father/husband-hood and everything else right now too =)

Yes, the problem of how far can you attack the background noise of blogging via blogging/comments itself before you're just participating is the major reason why I stopped doing LJ nearly five years ago

Anyway, need to chat to you about VJing, so it's a date ... (just don't know when yet ;) )

We'll manage to work something out - Just not fucking Whitby Spooky Kid Week! ... (Stopped doing that even longer ago [1])

[1] Was only there, the couple of times I went, because all my friends were going anyway

lol you'd be lucky to catch me up in Whitby, let alone at the Goffic weekend... think I last went to that 2 years ago when B was <6 mths old. After finding it pretty awkward with little guy in tow for just the daytime stuff, and just general goffic reactions ranging mainly from neutral to negative to little ones, we decided not to bother the next time, and the next etc...

I'm amazed you kept going so long in the first place

Yes, there are a few people it'd be good to see, but then they could always come down here and visit, rather than expecting me to traipse all the way up to Whitby, just because "That's where we go"

But they don't, do they? ... Nor do they call, email or even text (and my number hasn't changed in ten years now) ... So fuck 'em!

In fact, to my memory, the only good thing to arise out of my ever having gone to one of the very few (three?) of those events I attended ...(as I said, because my friends were going and encouraged me to join them) ... was meeting you and Joolz

I think I went one more time after that (two at the outside) and never bothered again

Too far away ... Too expensive ... Too full of goths ... Too boring [1]

... just too bloody much of a waste of time, energy and money
