ALA President Not Fond of Bloggers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the nail-hit-on-head dept.

Phil Shapiro writes "American Library Association president Michael Gorman is not too fond of bloggers and blogging. '[The] Blog People (or their subclass who are interested in computers and the glorification of information) have a fanatical belief in the transforming power of digitization and a consequent horror of, and contempt for, heretics who do not share that belief... Given the quality of the writing in the blogs I have seen, I doubt that many of the Blog People are in the habit of sustained reading of complex texts. It is entirely possible that their intellectual needs are met by an accumulation of random facts and paragraphs.'"

    Wake up people, the likes of such trash as jerry falwell and oral roberts are bums.They've found a way to make millions of dollars bullshitting 51 percent of the populace.
    If christianity is so good and wonderful, why the fuck are they always running around screaming at folks and killing people?
    Just doesn't make sense to me.
    I piss on you christians.
    You bloodthirsty,cumsucking,thieving,adulterous, homophobic bigots.
    I pray that I don't go to your heaven, because if you greedy sons-of-bitches are running it, I'd rather be in hell.
