RonK Seattle Comments

From dKosopedia

RonK, Seattle is the pseudonym of a political blogger who commented on Slate's The Fray before founding his own blog Cogent Provocateur on March 4, 2002; it ran through April 23, 2003, fewer than two weeks after he became a guest blogger on Daily Kos. He also blogged for The Next Hurrah during its first year, posting from May 2005 through February 2006.

This page only contains information about RonK, Seattle's blog commenting on Daily Kos; for additional information on his writing see the main RonK, Seattle page.

Commenting on Daily Kos

RonK, Seattle's first comment on Daily Kos was on October 17, 2002, responding to Markos's blog post from the previous day, N.Korea has nukes. Where's the saber-rattling? His was the ninth of fourteen comments to that post.

List of Comment Links

When RonK started commenting at Daily Kos, the blog was using Movable Type software. Markos was the sole blogger, and comment threads popped up in a separate window. The Movable Type site has subsequently been archived at DailyKos.net, and all links are to that archive.

In the archive, direct links can only be made to individual front-page posts, and to the comment threads of those posts. Only the entire thread can be linked to; there is no way to link to individual posts. So, once you bring up a comment thread in your browser, use your browser's search function to find "RonK". This will find all of RonK, Seattle's comments plus some direct references to those comments or questions to RonK. If you only want to find RonK's comments, then search on "by RonK".

In the list of comments below, the date given is the date the particular front-page post was made; it is possible that the actual comment was made the next day.

The person writing the original front page post is assumed to be Markos; if there was a guest blogger that day—Billmon, Steve Soto, Steve Gilliard, Meteor Blades, or DHinMI—that blogger will be named. Any open threads that Billmon may have created will be credited to him on this page; if uncredited, open threads are also assumed to be set up by Markos.

Note that comments attached to RonK's own front-page posts are not listed on this page. Links to those comments will be found on the RonK, Seattle Posts page.

July 2003

July 1:

July 2–31: Movable Type comments were shut down on July 1, 2003 at 5:01 p.m., and HaloScan comments were brought up in their place as a temporary measure on July 2, 2003 at 11:48 a.m. Unfortunately, due to problems setting up the first Daily Kos-owned server, Movable Type comments were not restored until August 16, 2003 at 9:44 a.m.; hence, any comments made by RonK under HaloScan from July 2 through early morning on August 16 have been lost. His blog posts are still extant.
