A Campaign for a Better Blog...

Posted June 7, 2000 10:42 AM.

Mark at www.riothero.com (notice the absence of link) said:

"I hope you see that this ISN'T like high school. I DON'T go to less popular weblogs and laugh... I DON'T pull Tom's [Ed: ME!] pants down and whisper 'Ner Ner Ner' in his ear.... I DON'T care what the community thinks of me... and to prove this, I'll quit defending myself."

Ooooh. I think this little chicken's getting too big for his boots... But what can YOU do? Mark bases his entire world view upon Beebo.org's Weblog Ratings - which is a very dangerous thing to do, because...

  1. For a period of THREE DAYS (that's until the weekend) DO NOT LINK TO MARK. At that stage, reinstate your love for him and his alter-ego Candy the Online Stripper. Just for a couple of days: Let Him Know What Side His Bread Is Buttered....
  2. In the meantime, help promote Metafilter and any other prominent / interesting weblogs listed.
  3. Send Mark an e-mail explaining that we all think he is really nice, but that he has CLEARLY ... GONE ... INSANE ...

To get the ball rolling: I LOVE YOU ZANNAH!
