This is probably the worst (quality-wise) post you have written since I started reading your blog almost two years ago. I can look past the hypocrisy pointed out by others. You have every right to feel the way yo do and to say the things you say, but if I find more posts like this, I really wouldn't be able to handle keeping the subscription. I put up with the Pro-Obama stuff because I figured it will calm down in intensity as soon as he ends up winning. But I am not going to read a site where I am particularly insulted.</p> <p>I don't even disagree with you THAT much. Palin isn't a necessarily great politician/representative of America but she isn't evil either and she obviously has been chosen to represent a good sized section of the population. I was also embarrassed at the boo-ing at McCain's concession, but comparing it to the silence at Obama's reference to McCain is pretty off. They are completely different situations. Could you really tell me with a straight face that if McCain won, Obama fans wouldn't be boo-ing? Hell, I imagine there would be riots, accusations of racism, and incredible (and possibly true) accusations of large-scale voter fraud.</p> <p>But seriously Daniel, lay off the hate, tone down the emotion, embrace the rational, logical approach that initially attracted me here. I interpret this as built up emotion after a hugely intense election and you had to get it off your chest. I vote for more technical essays about the security world but I am interested in political discussions as well as long as there is some attempt at non-partisanship or at least analysis of facts, not emotions and exaggerations.</p> Daniel, it probably doesn’t need to be said after the previous commenters, but, as you said, f-ck it.
