The One-Handed Economist

I blog purely for my own amusement, so I don’t have much to add to the whole Jerome Armstrong-Kos-Astrology-Stockpumping thing, but the comments on that linked post at TNR and this one in which Zengerle admits to making a really bone-headed mistake go fairly quickly to the dogs. Not the most vicious I’ve seen in the blogosphere, but still farily ad hominem and unfair. Of course, the interntron mixes anonomity with distance, a recipie for childish and vitriolic attacks. Then again, I put to print a magazine issue with “take a goddamn bath and get a job, you lazy, socialist fuck” as a pull-quote. What the hell do I know?
