It was difficult for me to read this too; I have a really hard time reading multi-colored text with italics and underlines and font size differences. It kind of reminds me of highschool myspace accounts where GiRlS wOuLd tYpE lYkE ThIs.

I find it hard to believe that a grown adult can write like that. The whole thing was formatted and written like a MySpace bulletin from a high school kid circa 2004. Obviously the man is good at what he does but there is something to be said for tactfully dealing with problems like this.

I've reloaded this a few times, still not entirely sure it wasn't a parody of some sort. It even ends with angsty song lyrics, quoted in full. Can that really be serious? Maybe this is some kind of hybrid performance art, half a rebuttal of Arrington and simultaneously a parody of teenage LiveJournals?

To be fair I did this in middle school even though I was not a girl.

The only thing missing from that post was the blinking text and the spinning email image from circa 1999.

Dave McClure should've hosted his website on angelfire.com
