Obsessive obsession denial

Australia's most entertaining Lefty blogger:
I don’t obsess over Bolt: he simply writes a huge amount of crap that’s then published by the biggest media company in the land. And I – and the other writers at Pure Poison and its earlier incarnations – reckon that material often needs a proper response.
Not obsessed? Mentioning Bolt 2,765 times over 1,468 days indicates otherwise.

Yet with far fewer mentions of An Obsessive Lefty I am accused of obsessive stalking.

It is also worth noting that Jeremy sees Pure Poison as the natural successor to Blair/Bolt Watch, which evolved from Bolt Watch. Thus Pure Poison is nothing more than Bolt Watch with a few other right-wing writers thrown in for the sake of variety. A quick look at the numbers confirms this.

Is this sad or funny?

And when Sears response needs a proper response... well, that's stalking!

Also, Bolts response is never positive. At no point would Sear write that he agrees with Bolt - not without some sneering remarks, several buts, through gritted teeth, and only very, very rarely. He only searches for something to whine about and 90% of that is Bolt. That's his obsession.

JF's figures for PP include
>all other writers at PP
>and all commenters at PP.

JF's figures for his own blog about Sears are only when he refers to him as 'Jeremy'. He hasn't counted all the times he refers to him as 'Sears' or 'Lefty' or simply writes an attack with a link and no name. Or attacks his girlfriend.

Anyone curious about the level of 'obsession' could simply contrast the present blogs.crikey.com.au/purepoison with the present rwdb.blogspot.com.

Better put up some non Sears articles quickly, JF.
