Next time, put your money where your mouth is...

M. Plaurt: Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated!

Things sure change mighty fast out here in the Jblogosphere. Yesterday, our readership was informed of Pravda's decision to close up shop, sell out and move to the beach at Zihuatanejo.
As you remember, an anonymous and extremely generous donor (a Mr. **UM**EN) offered Menachem Plaurt & Co. a large sum of money to stop publishing vitriolic anti-Yated articles.

However, this just in:
"I wouldn't pay a wooden nickel to shut you down. I let Hashem take care of that."
-Mr. FR**T** himself

Some points to ponder:


a) Can anyone be trusted in today's cutthroat blog-eat-blog-osphere? Apparently not.

b) Regarding Toby Katz's observation that many of our reader's comments are crass and boorish, we would like to remind her that PN, unlike Cross-Currents, does not believe in censoring our commentators' valuable input.


Your Shakespearen insult was well taken, in good humor of course. In reply, we have the two following bons mots.

"The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion."
-Henry Steele Commager

"Get thee to a nunnery!"
Hamlet (III, i, 122)

c) Like another religion's beloved Messiah, Pravda Ne'eman does not die so easily.
