And the Winner is, Norm's Thank God You're Here.
The brilliance of the post is very easy to overlook. One really has to really read through it a few times to let the incredible harshness of the piece sneak up on them. And let's face it - it's only the pure quality of the message being expressed that save it from being booed out of the town. If you read it properly you can see what he's saying - that there's some pathetic whining self-righteous twat holding the wheel and driving us all over the edge into a big puddle of arrogant opinion - and who is doing that? It's YOU dear blogger. It's you. It's your perceived specialness, you're apparent greatness that it messing us up;
The criticism couldn't be more blaintent, yet the piece doesn't turn into a parody of itself due to it's grace. It will not stoop to the level of those it criticizes. In fact, the moral integrity manages to remain above water, through it's expression of the ridiculousness of the practice of bloggers tearing individuals to shreds just because they can.
It is a question, not a statement. It is playing the same stupid game it attacks, but with a cynical awareness that absolves it from that same level - without ever having to express it so explicitly.
Norm - You win the Best Written post.

Show me how informed you really are.
Show everyone.
Show those people who doubted you.
Those who ridiculed and humiliated you.
Show them.
Show them all, now.
Now.
Do it now.
Why not show how before you were born, the world was at a loss.
Until you arrived.

Deride a few lesser personalities.
Deride a few larger ones too.
Perhaps some who, through no fault of their own, are rich and famous
need derision or deification.
Defecate all over them.
