Apologies for Angry Comments…
This weekend was anything but normal.

I want to apologize to Legal Insurrection readers for getting angry in the comments section yesterday. Professor Jacobson has not asked me to do this, I am doing so of my own volition.
I am usually too busy to even read the comments but yesterday I snapped.
I had been up for almost 24 hours and was exhausted as well as traumatized from the events of the day and the insane media coverage with the images of the shooting being played over and over again.
So. I’m sorry for my angry comments. You probably won’t see me in the comments very much in the future because, as I said, I normally don’t post there anyway. This weekend was anything but normal.
Moving forward, I hope that the country can settle down a little bit. I don’t think any of us can take much more trauma.
Cheers,
– Mike

I’d prefer the author(s) do get involved with the posters as long as THAT doesnt lead to the authors more prominent position to get any posters censored /thrown off the site
and yeah I read your comments and though I thought it was pretty strong
so what!!!??
fjb!!!!!!
I wasn’t here to read comments this weekend, so I can’t say one way or another. But it’s good you actually posted this because you felt you had stepped over the line.
In my own decades-long experience reading multiple newspapers and/or news websites etc., seems to me you’re one of the most sane writer/reporters.
There are folks on this and other sites who needle, provoke, lie — just to get a reaction. Hoping for any kind of reaction that they can label “offensive” or “overreaction” or “inappropriate “ in some way.
This is the IRGC /Hamas BLM PLO NancyPelosi playbook.
If you got angry, LaChance, my guess is that that was a display of your own mental health. Nothing more. Nothing less.
It’s been an increasingly intense 3-1/2 years, obviously. I’ve seen on other sites authors “needing to take a break.” They used to call it combat fatigue. For a reason lolol


You are a good man who had a bad day, Mike. You are were angry and maybe went a bit to far. That makes you human.
I personally respect you a great deal and think you are gifted at what you do.
I have been reading your articles since before you went public and will continue to do so.
God Bless

You just had a bad night!
But seriously, Mike, you are one of the best reporters and writers at this or any other site. Keep it up and don’t worry about the grumpy comments.
So NOW can we all have an edit button?
LI devel team, here’s a plugin that looks like it would be more than adequate.
Thanks. Passed it along since I have no idea if it’s workable or not. And also thanks.
When one posts on the New Neo blog, it automatically gives you I think 5 minutes to review/edit. Along with a visible countdown timer. I suspect that this feature probably does prevent at least major snafus, idk. Fwiw.
(I mention this because youall seem to know one another. I’m not trying to insert myself where unwelcome)
Ten upticks!
Apology accepted.
We were all angry. I tore off a text to some liberal ladies I know – absolutely wonderful people but liberals And I got told the text was threatening. We went back and forth the next day, but I stood my ground. In my opinion, this threat garbage is basically an effort to control. They knew I was angry. They can darn well deal with it. And we can deal with your anger.
lord, mike–your reaction was normal–have a couple of relatives that are 24k pedants ( like some here ) and reading / listening to them would try the patience of job
they remind me of the naval officers / army air corps officers / experts who insisted that doolittle was insane–launching medium bombers from an aircraft carrier simply couldn’t be done–he looked at them all and reportedly said : ” the hell it can’t ”
steady as she goes, man
