[...] Kinsella got angry at some bloggers a few years ago and made threats. Scott , Penny, others.This one is backed up with the paperwork. [...]

Seen from Down Under, the whole Kinsella saga has been really weird. I’m glad one blogger stood his ground and refused to remove a post.

Brad - if the Australian experience is anything to go by, you will find pundits spending a lot ot time analysing the result, the supporters of the winning party gloating, and the supporters of the losing party navel gazing or else running of to join the local branch.

Mr. Kinsella is smart, motivated, educated, connected and eager to stay in the game.

I think many politicos aren’t quite as self-focused. There are still hard working people of all political stripes - they usually don’t stick out much and they sure don’t use others for their personal gain.
You’ve modelled integrity, this fiasco could have gone south (or the way Kinsella was playing it), if steady and experienced bloggers hadn’t set a healthy tone. Thanks for what you’ve done.

Some time ago I had emails from someone obsessed with a blogger. I couldn’t trace it.
And I have to admit, I’ve wondered more than once if it was the blogger….:^(

I think I’ll be able to keep my sense of humour - I need to in order not believe that all politicos in this city are like Mr. Kinsella.

I shake my head at the turn of events.

Good question Brad…the election junkie blogs will be gone for sure. I wonder how many there are?

Thanks for that Simon, I’ll pop over and have a look.:^)
I don’t like seeing anyone targeted by hate groups, they have nothing better to do than churn out vitrol. Part of the difficulty with this event in the blogosphere is that spinning doesn’t work. Politics is a hard game, and when it defines you more than you shape it, I think a lot of ethical lines get blurred and integrity is questioned.

re: hate e-mail to WK

Over at All Thing’s Canadian, Don had a look at the logs for WK’ site and discovered on the day of this post he had some visits from a white supremacist website. So, WK isn’t being exactly honest when he says the hate mail came from bloggers. In past posts WK has made it clear he is able to read and understand his logs, so he would have been aware of the hate-site visits. It seems unethical that this wasn’t stated in his post, when it seems likely the hate mail came from real neo-Nazis.

I woke up this morning, coincidentally, wondering how all the political bloggers will fair after the US elections are over. My point is “will they have enough to say to post daily and keep readers?”
I post only on Christian discipleship and philosophy posts, and I know I can blog every day regardless of the shifts in the news cycle. When the fever pitch of the election in the US ends, what will the effect be on so many bloggers.
