The old reading list down there has taken some adjustments today. Added – the Nuge, UR, Speak Dog Speak, Connecting the Dots (aka Reader #11), Conservative Grapevine, and Cold Fury.
Deleted – people who get their panties in a twist over the word “fuck.” Kiss my ENTIRE ass.
You, my faithful 20 (woot, up 16!) readers, if you have any suggestions for some good reads, slap ‘em on up in the comments. That includes you lurker-types, too, don’t hesitate to pimp your own spots even if you’ve never commented before.
UPDATE: I just have to add…there are a number of – let’s call ‘em newbies – in the blogoverse, who don’t seem to get how this thing works. You blog, you have open comments, ergo you invite comment on your writings. When someone comments they are engaging you in conversation, it is customary to actually respond, or acknowledge, or something. But these newbies, they instead seem to view comments as slugs on their porches. Hm, should I step on it? No, best ignore it and it’ll go away. The ignoring works, btw. Those commenters will sod right of, because hey, there’s something like a million blogs being created every day in the world, there’s plenty of other people to read/talk to.
Oh, and when someone emails you, compliments you on your fucking site/writing, it’s customary – courteous even – to FUCKING RESPOND.
Disclaimer: None of this has to do with libertygirl.org, the commenters thereon, those to whom I currently link, or my faithful audience of 15 (!). It’s just a rant that I’ve had building up for a while based on some really shitty behavior observed on blogs who shall remain nameless.
