Philistine: NOUN:1. A member of an Aegean people who settled ancient Philistia around the 12th century b.c. 2. A smug, ignorant, especially middle-class person who is regarded as being indifferent or antagonistic to artistic and cultural values. Ex: The quintessential Philistine is the person who fails to appreciate the writing of Jeff Goldstein.
Dr. Goldstein is one of the best writers in the blogosphere, bar none. Okay, definitely bar Gail - Oh crap, it's a toss up. One or both of you is THE LORD MY GOD(ESS)!

I get so tired of people carping about other people's achievements. If they don't like what they read, they don't need to read it. Wankers.

And its duty to STFU when it doesn't have anything nice to say.

I love it when you say "wankers."

It's so much more cosmopolitan than "jerkoffs."
