REGARDING THE SUBSTACK "NAZI" PROBLEM

After an afternoon spent reading posts by other Substack writers - and more importantly reading the posts from the Looney Left deplatforming morons in the comments sections - I realize I got taken in by the “Nazi” business a few weeks ago.

The Looney Left’s definition of that term differs significantly from mine (in which I try hard not to do “I don’t like what you say, you must be a nazi” and limit my opprobrium to actual national socialists). The majority of the “we must deplatform them and Hamish is a money grubber!” crowd are the kind of uncreatrive typists (I hate thinking of using the word “writer” to describe their kind of semi-literate hack) I have spent the past 50 years actively avoiding. At least those whose blithering I took time I will never get back to read certainly fit that category.

Ken White’s post at Popehat does a better job of describing the whole situation, so I recommend you go read him. You can see the kind of shrill mini-talentlesses I refer to above on the page if you read the comments.

Ken describes Substack as a series of “walled gardens” we can inhabit. I have liked the walled garden with “That’s Another Fine Mess” on the entrance very much, since I haven’t had to worry about noise complaints with the neighbors - me complaining about them or vice-versa.

I do my best to not pay attention to “professional socializing” here - you won’t find me on Notes doing more than a thumbs-up for some other writer who I follow whose post was on the email "Notes Update”, thus I was really uninformed about this whole tempest in a thimble.

If Substack let me delete posts once published, that post about the “Nazi problem” would be gone, but I can’t, so just ignore it.

Thanks for subscribing to That’s Another Fine Mess, where we will keep our walled garden neatly trimmed with your help as paid subscribers.
