sab hey coding artist

making the words dissapear is very, very pretty

but is it fair to do it to all the pages?


speaking as a participating artist in the ongoing evolving project that is blather, i would prefer if you didnt make_disapear everything we write.

or that randomly you'd make it reappear

or something.


not all works on here are art
but most of them were special to the people creating them.


again, much admiration for your coding skills, it impresses the pants off me.

but be gentle with your superpowers, and remember the ordinary mortals when you weild your deity like coding powers.


much love

a ghost from blather past so, let me get this straight, "taking the words away"—

if you like someone's words, or deem them inoffensive, you leave them alone.

but if they rub you the wrong way, you "take them away" (i.e. render them viewable only after they've been highlighted). so, in effect, you're not taking anything away. you're just further polluting a place you already consider to be a cesspool, thus joining the roster of those you feel are blather offenders. guess what that makes you? a hypocrite!

here's a thought: if you don't like what you see here, go away. that's what i did. and that's what i'm going to do again as soon as i finish typing this. believe it or not, it's quite an easy thing to do, at least if you possess that mysterious thing they refer to as "free will".

i think you're a very sad person, with far too much time on your hands. you either derive some amount of pleasure from trying to taint something many people care about, or (and i really hope for your sake that this isn't the case) you think you're doing something noble and important by attempting to show us all the error of our ways. i actually feel kind of sorry for you. but then, pathetic people have always caused a small amount of pity to well up from within me.

ta-ta! have fun!
