A New Low At Miles2Go

Even people who hate Paul Esslinger should have the decency to agree that this anonymous cheap shot on Miles Maguire's blog crosses the line:

This man is a pathetic example of a lion who gets a nail stuck in his paw. Even though the nail was removed when Dell Antonia was voted off the council, that wasn't good enough for Esslinger. He holds grudges and they eat away at him like a cancer.

Paul Esslinger's ordeal with cancer is a matter of public record, making the comment above one of the most disgusting I have seen on a local blog in quite a while. Certainly Miles and those who have been supporting his no-sidewalk-now conniption in the blog do know about Esslinger's bout with cancer, and yet as of 11:45 p.m. Wednesday none of them have renounced the remark.

The more vicious of the Internet Trolls usually avoid Miles' blog, but perhaps one of the consequences of conniption commentary is that it attracts those who tend toward low blows, ad hominem attacks, and hissy fits.
