@ Sonia – I have no idea. I’m still pendulumming. On one hand, if it were a stunt, it would have been a very, very good one. Controversy, big names involved, a grain of truth veiled in general ridiculousness. If you and I are both in the spin business and can’t see it as a stunt it’s a pretty fucking good stunt.

On the other hand, it’s Leo. Granted, I have no objectivity with Leo, but still. It really doesn’t seem to be his thing. He’s doubled his sub base from 16K to 32K (ish) in about three months. He really doesn’t need a traffic boost.

I have two theories. One, he put it up because he said he would and didn’t feel cool bailing. Two, he put it up to warn off the chaff who are yammering for guest posts. The wheat will be unconcerned because they would never come out with something like that. The chaff will see that there’s room for the whole shebang to go horribly, horribly wrong.

Naomi, what do you think, was it a stunt? It seemed too clumsy and ill-considered to be a stunt (although it sure generated a lot of attention). But I am pathetic at spotting stunts.

Was the girlfriend perhaps Alex? In which case purity is completely out of the question anyway.

What about the purity of sitting and mindlessly doing nothing…….just to regenerate the spirit. Sometimes one just need do not do things, and not learn things. And just be. Wow that’s so Zen.

I read this and thought what the…
Like Michael said, looks the guy was on crack or something when he wrote the post. It makes absolutely no sense and reads terrible.

Mmhhh…

I’ve got the sneaking suspicion that he didn’t get laid that night.
