By July, Krugman had lost his "Battle of the Blog." On July 23, Latrina commented (http://community.nytimes.com/comments/krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/23/europes-gap/?permid=20#comment20 - broken link), "Who is this Sean from Florida? He takes everything that [the] Professor [says] and shreds it, piece by piece. He shouldn't be allowed to post his comments on this blog since he seems to be winning all the debates. We progressives need to stick together and embellish our talking points without someone from the outside pointing out fallacies in our ideology."
Does he want to give his Nobel prize back? If it actually meant anything, he should.
Ha, that'll be the day! I'm sure he's a legend in his own mind! After all, he is one of the intellectual elite, here on earth to issue his wisdom to we poor, beknighted ignorant peasants. What a tool!!
Krugman had also had enough. On July 23, Krugman showed that he was clearly no longer "in love" with his commenters. Now he called them "ranters" and "trolls." On July 28, Krugman changed his comment moderation policy. Claiming that "ranters ... say the same thing every time," Krugman announced that he was going to throw away posts longer than "three inches." His thinking must have been thus: Three inches are sufficient to write "Krugman is brilliant," but not sufficient to present a documented and persuasive rebuttal to whichever of Krugman's standard arguments he was peddling that day."
James Taranto at "best of the web today" at opinionjournal.com has made Krugman his *****.
