Step One toward closing this presently vast qualitative gap may be for Phil to acquire something approximating a sense of humor in lieu of being a self-righteous blowhard who takes himself far too seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-77877928499872430012011-11-02T13:37:35.438-08:002011-11-02T13:37:35.438-08:00as an avid reader of the mudflats i was taken back...as an avid reader of the mudflats i was taken back by this article. although, not an alaskan, i remember very well that jeanne is quite the fan of mz benson. i know of at least one very positive post re mz benson:<br />december 18, 2009 mudflats<br />http://www.themudflats.net/2009/12/18/diane-benson-to-run-for-lieutenant-governor/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-91929339049844661452011-11-02T10:37:10.668-08:002011-11-02T10:37:10.668-08:00WTF?

Is this all about trying to revive Benson's political positioning for 2012 (a thankless and futile task for this multi-loser), or is it about Phil's irrational infatuation with the myth of Benson? Whatever -- I had hoped she had slipped over the horizon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-87098496693738593912011-10-31T18:03:26.151-08:002011-10-31T18:03:26.151-08:00WTG Phil!!

I too think it has become cultish and also seems like the only motivator over there is making money off that awful book and the scandal surrounding it.<br /><br />I am greatly saddened by Jeanne's continued downward spiral. I used to enjoy her blog and enjoyed guest blogging there occasionally. But it's all gone to hell over there. Heck I was banned b/c I questioned Snoskred and tried to have a civil discussion with her about fundraising for a local DV shelter here. <br /><br />Now I am banned from the forum and gave up trying to comment on the blog b/c all my comments go into moderation. <br /><br />It's all quite sad. It's sad that SP is pulling so many people down with her, even her enemies.<br /><br />sigh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-19217470947941658312011-10-31T14:37:00.650-08:002011-10-31T14:37:00.650-08:00I quit reading Mudflats some time ago, as it appea...I quit reading Mudflats some time ago, as it appeared to be almost cult like... if you said the ~wrong~ thing you were descended upon by hornets...<br /><br />Not much room there to have your opinion posted let alone not descended upon by stingers.<br /><br />Sheesh... talk about censorship.<br /><br />She's got her following and is happy with it. So what.<br /><br />It's not a democratic blog for sure. That bunch seems to claim to be progressive, LOL, nazi-ism is more like it.<br /><br />Not room for opinions they don't like.<br /><br />Not my cuppa.LIZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-60595450938135013022011-10-31T13:10:26.667-08:002011-10-31T13:10:26.667-08:00I like Jeanne and The Mudflats, but I think you...I like Jeanne and The Mudflats, but I think you've hit on something here. I've known Diane for several years now, and I just don't understand why she is so disrespected in this community, not only by her enemies but seemingly by people who should be her allies, as well. <br /><br />Blue_in_AKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-78107450774088727802011-10-31T12:45:41.472-08:002011-10-31T12:45:41.472-08:00Way to go Phil!Way to go Phil!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
