Damn. Another guy who's toasted Lileks better than I can.

The interepid Lance Mannion , piggybacking on Roxanne of Rox Populi, joins the dogpile on James Lileks.

I particularly like this bit:

"I understand Lileks' decision. He's been doing the virtual equivalent of running into the kitchen to chat merrily on the phone with his mother while he stirs the soup on the stove and then in a sudden panic attack dropping everything and leaving the soup to burn while he flies to the bedroom, dives under the bed, and cowers there, jibbering, raving, cursing the fates, and praying to God to save his sorry, flat butt.

Readers find it distracting."

Anyways, they both dice Jim up a treat. Go read.
