I'll answer, not that it will make any difference to any who think their hero can do no wrong nor have other than the most noble intentions.</B><BR/><BR/><I>"You gotta limit there, Atrios? You get charged by the pound or sumthin'?"<BR/><BR/>as is usually the case in these kinds of rants, you are ignoring atrios' own explanation. as he's said several times now he tends not to edit his blogroll once it gets to be a certain length. the whole point of wiping his blogroll and starting again from scratch. a lot of his links on the old blogroll were defunct sites. so he decided to do an experiment, wipe the whole thing and then only add sites when he thought "hey, i wonder where _____ site is."</I><BR/><BR/><B>Again, I call "Bullshit!". It takes only a short while to check your blogroll links every once in a while, and delete the defunct ones. Big deal. My questions as to his reasonings still stand.</B> <BR/><BR/><I>and honestly for the life of my i cannot understand why there is anything wrong with that. it's duncan's blog. why can't he do whatever he wanted with his blogroll?</I><BR/><BR/><B>As I clearly stated in my post, "Now, Eschaton is Duncan Black's blog and he has every right to do whatever he wishes with it." I have my own blog, also, and I can do anything I want with it, too. And, if I want to sympathize with those bloggers who were hurt financially by his actions by having their rankings affected, or hurt in actuality that their support of Atrios through the years was summarily dismissed, I have the right to do so.</B><BR/><BR/><I>and as for your claim that atrios "whined about [not linking to my left wing] when he was called on it": does it matter at all to you that the blogger that "called him on it" later updated her post and acknowledged that duncan had a good excuse? in fact, you linked to the very post with the update. as maryscott herself writes: "To be fair to Atrios, in this instance, he has a good excuse not to link to the site[.]"</I><BR/><BR/><B>Oh my. Quite disingenious is this. Why, dear Upyernoz, did you not include the entire quote? Let me: "To be fair to Atrios, in this instance, he has a good excuse not to link to the site, since the piece basically trashes him (you'll NOTICE, however, that here I am, LINKING TO HIM, even though I think he's behaved the total fucking douchebag throughout this entire sad affair -- AND he's NOT been the model of reciprocity when it comes to that).<BR/><BR/><BR/>But this case is not an exception -- this is what he and the rest of the BBB do every fucking time. Last year, he linked not to MLW, but to the WaPo, when he finally did get around to acknowledging the fucking article even existed. You dig? Markos links not to skippy, but to the guy who linked to skippy. It's bullshit. It's a fucking circle jerk, and the links are the hand lotion."<BR/><BR/>Attempting a little propagandizing on behalf of the object of your devotion, are we?</B><BR/><BR/><I>and finally i'm curious how you determined the race and gender of all the bloggers in the eschaton blogroll. a lot of those sites are run by different people. does one white person make the whole site white? pam spalding posts on pandagon, does that make the site "black"? there's also the issue that a lot of the people on his blogroll are anonymous. how can you tell who is who?</I><BR/><BR/><B>Again, your reading comprehension is quite low. As I clearly stated, "and two, count 'em, two <I>(as far as I can tell having gone through his entire blogroll)</I> token African American's." I suggested some blogs by DISTINCT VOICES of various minorities. Because some large group blogs have one or even a few minority voices does not make them minority blogs, although those that do are, at least, making an effort to be more diverse.<BR/><BR/>But, thank you for visiting and I appreciate your comments. I just don't agree with you.</B>BlueKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458974992825074672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36163616.post-88830155973030759742007-03-15T11:43:00.000-05:002007-03-15T11:43:00.000-05:00You gotta limit there, Atrios?

You should link to Skippy and Jon and Renee (if you don't already, and they'll link back) and cross post some of your excellent stuff over at the Independent Bloggers Alliance. You have an excellent voice I want you HEARD!<BR/><BR/>Whig... thanks so much. I really like your blog too and added it to my blogroll.

Ask him if you don't believe me. It was my intention to include him from the beginning. You, however, did not mention Mexican in your comment, so how dare you try to accuse me of including him to appease a moron like you? I'll be happy to try to overcome my prejudices against my own race if you can please explain to me how in hell I can be prejudiced against myself, my family, and my ancestors? You wouldn't know a truth if it flew into your mouth like the maggots who already reside there. The only prejudices I harbor are reserved for ignorant self-rightous simpletons who know themselves not at all and others less. I eat kids like you for breakfast, lunch and dinner and regurgitate you as the vomit you are. Go back to grammer school where you'll learn all about contractions and apostrophes if you're even remotely capable of comprehension above the second grade level.BlueKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458974992825074672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36163616.post-18135626471136485782007-03-13T12:10:00.000-05:002007-03-13T12:10:00.000-05:00Wow.

I'm a white woman, yet racist, be...Oh, puh-leeeze! I'm a white woman, yet racist, because I called a young man half my age a white boy??? Listen, Junior, I call my 33 year old nephew "boy" and he doesn't take mind a bit. In the south, we have a "good ole boy" network running half of our politics. We refer to just about any white man as a boy for any reason or no reason at all. I wouldn't ever use it in referring to a black male over the age of 10 because historically (history being a subject you apparently are wholly ignorant of) the term has been a racist insult. I've never heard of anyone being called a racist for calling a fellow caucasion of the male sex boy. In this particular case, was I being condescending? Hell, yes, and I meant to be. Racist? I think not, cretin.<BR/><BR/>I think you are the racist here, being overly sensitive to the "put-upon" white male patriarchy of whom you are obviously a charter member.<BR/><BR/>As stated clearly, if you can comprehend the english language, I offered some examples to be evaluated. If I'd had knowledge of an intelligent, scintillating Polynesian blog, I would have offered it, but alas I have not yet found one. Excluding any blogs of which I am not aware means nothing. But, those I did include are easily located by exploring blogrolls of other, more inclusionary blogs, which was the entire fucking point of the post.<BR/><BR/>You don't like me or my comments?

Or a Micronesian?<BR/>Don't forget them Native Americans.<BR/>Or Pakistani?<BR/><BR/>By your way of thinking if you don't have them linked, that must mean something. <BR/><BR/>You're a hypocretin and no better than Atrios.
