Shaun Kenney | Politics and Religion in Virginia's Public Square


Thursday, March 23, 2006 Too Conservative Implodes Vince Thoms over at Too Conservative has enacted one of the most mindboggling purges of a blog I've ever seen, yet I think most saw this coming. But no worries! Jim Riley and Jay Hughes are back up and running at Virginia Virtucon, which is great news for the rest of us. For many, they were the best reason to read Too Conservative, and it's a damn shame I couldn't get them over here in time! I'm really surprised how shallow the readership is at TC though... you'd think given all the bravado that the blog would be much more widely read. All glory is fleeting in the Virginia blogosphere! UPDATE: Sophrosyne over at NOVATownHall has a good overview there, as does James Young at SkepticalObservor. posted by Shaun Kenney \| 3/23/2006 12:57:00 PM \| 4 comments 4 Comments: At 3:20 PM, too conservative said... Shaun I am dissapointed in you with this post... nothing imploded... I was in no way threatening..that would be the other former contributors known as Jay and Riley. I havent commented on much of this, but this post is far from the truth, and is very upsetting because of all the inaccuracies. I had e-mailed Jim a week ago asking him to stop posting long posts-they slowed the site down. I am very disheartened with you, Riley, and Jay Hughes..but I suppose people eventually all show their true colors. ...and the site is continuing...going full steam ahead. At 3:29 PM, Shaun Kenney said... I happen to know both Jay Hughes and Jim Riley well enough to defend them as peers, and I won't tolerate attacks against them or on their character. Period. I hope in the future, we can sit down over a beer (maybe coffee) and talk about what went wrong. You can't say I didn't try to counsel you... You're a better person than what others are saying about you -- I know that much. I hope you do too. At 4:08 PM, James Young said... Better make it coffee, Shaun. Vince is underage. At 5:39 PM, too conservative said... I'll give you that..I've had people who know me well defend me... Understandable. Post a Comment Home
