… by the two B4B sites. I went into self-righteous liberal-left overdrive when I first saw the stuff there, and didn’t take a second look.
Ultimately, though, I think that it’s better to be taken in. Look at it from a utilitarian point of view. The options are a), they are real – in which case, we were right to argue against them seriously, or b), they are spoofs – in which case, we provide them with lulz, reinforce their spoof, and still probably hit some genuine scary folk anyway. There’s my feeble self-justification, that’s all.
This might also be tied into Linus’ recent ‘outing’ of them – shutting down any chances he has of doing that wouldn’t be what I would consider, in their shoes, but is an option.
If they are parodies, though, what next? Whither do we go? Shall we find some other scary blog to troll?
Thoughts, please.
