Let Barlow Be Barlow

This, Hecklers at a Funeral, is the sort of thing I was hoping to get when I heard that John Perry Barlow was blogging. Now the poet comes out, and the heart is in his writing. A bit of background: Barlow was a good friend of Spalding Gray, who, in case you haven't heard, has disappeared, presumed dead of his own hand. After Barlow posted an elegy to Gray on his blog, he was subject to unfeeling attacks from several vicious trolls in the comment section. The link above is his response.
