Irony, Thy Name Is ...

Don't ask me how I ended up on Stormfront, I just did. Probably via the ABC link about "Prussian Blue", the Olsen twins on a hate twist: http://abcnews.go.com/primetime/story?id=1231684&page=1. I quote: "We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white

Are you sure you want to give them the traffic by leaving a link up?

Because there's no way I'm clicking on that.

Two things. Or, actually, three, now that I think it out.

1) I went for the knowledge (and I'm glad I did, apparently there are some subgroups with slogans/devices that look more like Patriotic Americans than, you know, racist Americans, and I was not aware of them). I'd much rather be aware of what they're up to, know the names, know the symbols, know the bands (ye gods).

2) I don't think internet traffic means much unless they're being inundated to the point of shut-down, and I certainly don't think they will get that through here. In fact, thinking about it, I undoubtedly assumed that most readers here would know what Stormfront is, and would probably choose *not* to click. (What can I say, I have high expectations of y'all.)

3) And sadly enough, geekily enough (if you will), I'm enough of an editor that I feel obligated to reference quotes.

This will have nothing to do with this post, but I lost the one re Haworth

I am confused (which is itself not unusual, mind you). Did I write something about which I remember nothing?

However, apropos of said nothing, I have been to the Bronte house. (And I completely agree with you about the isolation regarding the moors -- I thought what the heck was all this fuss about?)

Note To Self: Only approach keyboard while completely sober.
It must have been someone else, colour me embarrassed.
But yeah, it's not like they had to walk miles to see another soul. They were just needlessly snobby neurotic loons. Two of whom wrote great books...
