For years, on the Internet, there has been a safe harbour for bloggers to put in and rest and recreate. A place to let your hair down. A place to have some fun and exchange ideas, without having to worry that a misstep will cause weapons to be drawn. That place has been Ed Morrissey's Captain's Quarters.
You can't not like Ed. He's not a great pundit but he writes voluminously about all of the issues of the day. People come to comment and all are welcome. For the most part things stay under control. The interplay of ideas among the commenters there, is unlike anything anywhere else on the web. It provides an unparalleled opportunity for insight. It is the greatest political omnibus website that there has ever been. Nobody else has come close. It is an achievement of which he can be proud.
Ed has announced he will be merging his blog into the Hot Air site, run by the evil sow, Michelle Malkin. Michelle strictly controls commenting access to her sites and immediately banns anyone who strays from the truth as revealed to her by the great Gods of the Right and by her to the masses below.
Michelle would like to tap into the traffic Ed gets, which is huge. She is not prepared to cater to the appetites that made Ed's blog such a huge success. This is exactly the same situation as if The Horse and Cow got remodeled and turned into another branch of Hooters.
They aren't going to let me in. I'm not going to want to go. Bummer.
Time to haul ass, Shipmate. See ya somewhere on across the Main.
