is boycotting me. It makes me sad that he would throw out our friendship this way. All those long nights, talking almost until dawn till he went upstairs to the Instawife and I walked down the long hall to where Attila the Hub waited, asleep.
And now this utter silence. This refusal to recognize my blog.
Next thing you know he'll be saying he never went to Idyllwild, California for a vacation in a cabin covered with snow. He'll say I never made Moroccan Stew for him, the Instawife and 15 other people.
He's trying to disown me. He's acting like the history we share is somehow embarrassing to him.
Fine. Two can play at that game: I will stop linking him. Beat him at his own game, until he cries "mercy" and acknowledges our true, deep—yet Platonic—connection.

He'll link the Liberated, Vanities, Recipes, and Capitalists, but will he link Cats? NooooOOooOOooOOooOOoo.
He also links the OLD me instead of the NEW me. How bad is that?
Linking to him in unrequited fashion is almost like sucking up to Sullivan now, only without the bad taste in my mouth... and the fact that it would prop up a pathetic MSM tool who squeezes his buttocks on TV.

Linking to the old you--that's almost as bad as spelling your name wrong. Oh, wait--I did that once.

Why not link to people that treat you well? One of the sad things that I've noticed about SOME large blogs is that they seem to forget that it is the SMALLER blogs that make-up the VAST majority of readers. If a GIANT blog treats its readers cavalierly, as seems to be the case here, then that giant might find itself a very small blog someday.
As for myself, I get less than a 100 readers per day, and I adore every one of them and hope that they keep coming back. That is why I answer their emails and address their concerns. It's about the readers.
You have a large and well-rounded blogroll. You can do without him. I would be most pleased be on it, if you could put-up with a teacher in your Realm.

Good satirical writing! You certainly had me fooled. I would give you an A+ if you were in my English class. Still..It IS about the readers. ;-)

In the case of John Hawkins, he just linked me out of the blue, and I linked him in return.
In the case of Glenn Reynolds, I was just throwing a line out into the water, as many do periodically. I've never received an Instalanche, but I'm sure my day will come.
