Also debasement from trollers, spammers, anarchists, comedians. Maybe there are a few specialised sites that offer pillars of intellectual debate (Ruthies Law?) but when you compare it too most journals then the blogsphere still has a long way to go before it's a credible medium. There's nothing wrong with the Daily Star, it gives mediocre people such as myself a sense of intellectual superiority.

Sure, chaps like myself will rarely (at least on this, my non-serious, blog) be inclined to make intellectually significant commentary. But that isn't inevitable. Look at ConflictofLaws.net or Impact - they make interesting comments on their respective areas of law. Just because I am, proudly, the Daily Star of legal blogs it doesn't diminish the intellectual value of the others. I think the value of mere commentary is potentially huge.

However this Blog has wit, not to say that Ruthie lacks this just that it has never been apparent in her posts. The benefit of this wit is that people like myself who otherwise wouldn't take an interest in IP law and such technological issues find themselves drawn in and taking an interest. I'm not convinced that as of yet the blogsphere is a suitable environment for a more serious approach due to the lack of established authority it has in relation to more conventional mediums. There is bound to be a flow of commentators from this blog to Ruthies, this is called riding on the coat tails. I guess time will be the judge. However I don't see why there needs to be such competition GL has been very supportive of the new venture. Groveling is kind of relevant to ones standard behavior. GL’s persona is not such that it could warrant a comparison to your average pleb.

I was positively embarrassed for myself but I thought it necessary to assuage the outrage and concern of Becky. I'd never have done it for Ruthie of course since I never respected or valued her, but Becky ... Oh, as to (b) you are charming, but never assume my innocence. Least of all when I am proudly and unapologetically guilty. Ruthie will surely respond to detail my indiscretions. I thought it was an embarrassingly voluble bout of sycophantic grovelling.

To the average pleb that isn't grovelling, but I must assume that in your tiny universe that is the most Becky will get from you. I would agree that you are an autocrat and you will delete what you don't like. Not sure about the plastering of all personal information, as I have not witnessed you doing so. So, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume (due to the vast length of our acquaintance) that you are innocent of (b) until proven guilty. Ruthie what private information has GL shared with us? Geekie, you call that grovelling?
