Blogger Clings to Misperception [Dan Collins]

That other bloggers are human beings.

Bloggers, believe it or not, are human beings and, as such, have been known to harbor grudges and seek retribution and — because they are scattered across a continent, sitting alone in front of their computers unbathed and unloved — such foibles aren’t exactly unknown among bloggers.

I must say, I admire his stalwart naivete.

NB: Fortunately, Protein Wisdom will never suffer from such neglect. We are too big to fail.

    Hang on, so David Thompson is not a blogger? Or just not a human being? Or…..

    Proteins are wee little gadgets, and wisdom less tangible still…

    It seems that this paranoia thing about links is widespread indeed…

    I wonder what causes it; is it simply fear of failure? Or a performance anxiety type thing?

    I really don’t understand it though. Am I wrong, or is server space incredibly expensive; I’ve heard it’s realtively inexpensive…

    Outside of the time put into it of course…

    Everyone likes to be validated. Arlen gets validated by appeasing dirty socialists. McCain get validated whenever the media is nice to him. Our dipshit president gets validated when Mr. Soros pats him on his little head. What these examples show is that you should be a lot chary about those things what you find validating I think.

    oh. I have no idea where that word came from either.

    Mall parking, hf.

    oh. I meant chary. No one use that word no more, do they?

    Maybe George Will. I could see that.

    I’ve used it but in a context more about steaks and less about skepticism.

    I thought Ace was more of an Ewok than a human…

    I used chary in a conversation once and people just looked at me.

    Wait — so the fact other bloggers don’t link my site isn’t because they’ve chosen not to link my site?

    I actually had a higher opinion of them before I heard that.

    Now, now. The harder they are the bigger they fall. And then they tend to take an odd bounce..
