the sturm and the drang


so ciavarro has an incendiary writing style that, if you don't read him regularly, may take you askance on occasion.

in fact, he writes this way on purpose, because (i theorize) he's got some kind of repressed masochistic desires and wants to be slapped.

often he turns this laserbeam of vitriol on the stars of current events like, for example, miss deaf texas, who rocketed to fame by being struck down and killed whilst walking over train tracks. she couldn't hear it coming, i guess.

anyhoo..... ciavarro took some flack from a reader for it, and handed the flack straight back. more interestingly, though, is that this whole exchange has rocketed him to the top of the special interest group blacklist. ragged edge online has seen fit to feature his entry in a condemnation of those in the blogging world who poke fun at the less fortunate.

when mr ciavarro (uncharacteristically, i might add) logged into the msn before nine this morning, i leapt upon the chance to interview him and get his input. below is the transcript of that conversation for your reading delight.

Ciavarro | Paid the Cost to be the Boss says:

Ciavarro | Paid the Cost to be the Boss says:

Ciavarro | Paid the Cost to be the Boss says:

Ciavarro | Paid the Cost to be the Boss says:

raspberry is on bedrest says:
yes

Ciavarro | Paid the Cost to be the Boss says:
how so

raspberry is on bedrest says:
well i’m going to write about the tumult you’ve caused in the special needs world and how you are poised on the brink of a boycott by all sorts of special interest groups and i’m going to take the middle part of our conversation and pretend it was an interview

Ciavarro | Paid the Cost to be the Boss says:
sure, I didn't say much! I'm a bore

raspberry is on bedrest says:

raspberry is on bedrest says:
