Commenting on my Happy Birthday wishes to DotEarth Danny Bloom writes:
But one thing, dear blogger here at UConn. Let's not play the same ugly game Rush plays and wish for his head to explode! That's the same sickness and ugliness that Rush plays by and you should have more class, sir. Please remove or edit that part to sound more humanistic. Something like [edit] "And you might take a moment to see how Rush Limbaugh attack Andy in a very ugly way {here LINK]."Point taken. I could try to explain why my words are less offensive than Rush's, but it would be more of an excuse than an explanation. I won't remove what I wrote, not because I'm proud of it, but because I don't believe in hiding my warts.
Well said, Kent. And we all got warts, yes, me too, dozens of them, hundreds over the years. I know what you meant when you used those words, and in a private blog or email, easy to understand, but since your blog went public, very public, via Andy's link via Facebook, I felt a bit uneasy over the Rush head explosion stuff, but I fully understand the poetic license exaggeration you were using to describe your feelings about that ^%^$^#^$^#^@@**!! Limbaugh!
