…and your despised bloggers closer.
I’m a prolific commenter. It comes from my days on bulletin boards and internet forums. I like to argue. I’ll argue about anything. Politics, cars, the best place to ski. It doesn’t matter. Eventually I piss somebody off enough for them to put me on their “ignore list”. Usually they make a public note of how they are now ignoring me. Then how they continue to ignore me. I always thought it was silly to publicly ignore some one. It reminds me of Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop with his hands in his ears yelling, “LA LA LA I AM NOT LISTENING!”
There’s nothing wrong with privately ignoring someone, but I don’t do that either. For me, the people who I disagree with the most are the most likely to be the first read when I open my feed reader. I think Rush Limbaugh is a blathering idiot, but I listen to him. There are two bloggers on RE.net that I would just assume go Dick Cheney on. But I always read them. If you’re on my “ignore list”. It’s probably because I just don’t think you’re very interesting.
