In the wake of the deadliest single-gunman shooting in American history, Boing Boing blogger Mark Frauenfelder has this to say: "I love these blood puddle pillows."

At first, he writes, "I wonder if these same people would have complained had I posted these blood pillows before the tragedy? After all, over 3000 Americans and a great many more innocent Iraqis have been slaughtered in a similarly horrible way. Where's the outrage over those deaths?" Later, he removes the photograph and the comment about the war. Moreover, the link goes to the blog for Make, Mark's online magazine.

In the wake of the deadliest single gunman shooting in American history WCityMike takes the opportunity to shame rival blogger?

So? It's in bad taste, but a little heavy on the GYOB. And I mean this post, not the BB one.

If the admins delete it, so be it. But, silly me, I thought someone opening their mouth and absolutely shoving their foot halfway down their esophagus in massive, unrealizing self-parody might be FPP-appropriate, given recent FPPs.

Too late.

Good lord, and all those people who have purchased tickets to films that include gun violence since the tragedy... how reprehensible!

He never should have removed that comment about the war.

Yeah, we deleted a couple of ill-considered Imus threads too, WCityMike.
