Here from Shetterly's blog. I love this.

In an ongoing display of etiquette-not, Shetterly is now selling T-shirts with this image on Cafepress. "Profits to something Commie." And no, he didn't ask kadath.

He's a class act.

I forsee a clash between legal reality, the unwritten etiquette of the fandom culture of transformative works, and marxist theory.

"Profits to something Commie."

D'you think he counts himself as "something Commie"? ;-)

[spiralsheep]

I would advise not engaging with Mr Bull unless absolutely necessary. I was going to link you to this explanation

so I laughed when I saw we'd been ETAed into the post, heh.

I'm thinking there needs to be a quiz--

[bellatrys]

it's a popular thing on the more-frivolous less-reverent leftish blogs, you know, something like: "Match the quote with the author! Who said this, Karl Rove or O'Brien in 1984? Which were said by Richard Viguerie and which by Minister of Public Enlightenment Joseph Goebbels?" Only this one could have questions like "Will Shetterly or Limbaugh? WS or Jay Nordlinger? WS or Bill Bennett?" and so forth.

(Bringing in Andrew Breibart and the Big Hollywood blog would probably be too much, due to the sheer volume of brain-meltyness there.)

The day he stands for public office then I think you should go ahead but until then I'd prefer not to cross the invisible and movable boundary between funny and funny-but-mean. Also, mocking the afflicted is just plain wrong. ::has traditionally been full of wrongness and might slip up again at any moment::

I won't report your moment-of-niceness to the U-FLART--

[bellatrys]

I'm just getting sooooooo frustrated with all these oh-so-liberally-liberal BNFs who somehow manage to sound - when it comes to race - indistinguishable from the Hegemony flacks funded at "Clown Hall" and on the airwaves by Richard "Union Steel" Scaife and the Bad Bart Sir Rupert (and plenty of other industrialists and tinned-beef barons, alas.) I can't help but hope it might come as a wake-up call, a la a nice big kiss from a nice big fish...probably vain, but you never know! Getting disillusioned is always painful, but at least it can be fun for the onlookers, right

a nice big kiss from a nice big fish

A rainbow trout? ;-)

[brown_betty]

Hee! I'm overwhelmed by your generosity in sharing the credit. You took a very offhand remark that was pretty much restating your idea and made it look fabulous.

[spiralsheep]

Maybe we should compromise on agreeing it was what everyone and her cats were thinking and kadath made our dreams come true. ;-)

[fairestcat]

this just may be the best thing EVER.

[spiralsheep]

Well, I personally would rate it as slightly less bestest than, for example, the painting of Judith and Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi but, yes, kadath's work is brilliant. ;-)

ETA: I lose at spelling and punctuation, heh.

[fairestcat]

Well, ok, it's the best thing ever, this week. I tend to use the phrase as sort of a movable feast *G*

Hee! Me too, which is probably why I noticed and made the joke. ::ridicules own idiolect::
