Duncan Black says:
I try to respect the distinction between private and public figures as I think that distinction is important. I find it a shame when people suddenly find themselves being "internet celebrities" for whatever reason - sometimes the internet "mob" does inappropriately take someone out of the private sphere and put them in the public one.Touching. I guess this is why Black allows his blog to be an open forum where anonymous assholes can advocate the murder of people like myself.
