Was this post really necessary? So this guy doesn’t like your blog and what you’re doing – so what? It deserves a posting? Don’t you get sick of the snark? I do.
If you do use trackbacks, I’d suggest getting rid of the nofollow tag. Every time I see a post full of trackbacks, I wonder if the suckers on the other side are giving that post a real link or whether they’re using nofollow. And, I wonder if the trackback recipient knows what’s going on and is basically ripping people off.
I also highly recommend tags, the more the merrier, and even for minor themes that you might want to reference again. When you get to thousands of posts it really helps find things.
Take it easy here. No need to escalate this matter. We don’t need an argument about the exsitance of weapons of mass snarking. As an avid reader of both these blogs, I have been on the receiving end of Tom’s snark in his comment section to be sure, but also know that he’s a good guy and credit to the blogging community, even if his anti-anything conservative rants can be redundant sometimes. I fully understand and except the “can’t take the snark, get out of the blog” aspect of My Dirty Life and Times. It’s a great read.
To paraphrase the Ramblin’ Man of Galilee, maybe you should attend to the two-by-four protruding from your own fundament first. All that Watson is saying is that success has changed you. He even took pains to complement you. What the hell, man.
Let’s you and him fight. That’s raise the caliber of discourse.
LOL.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong–or obsessive–with your use of tags here, but you should integrate trackbacks; extend the conversation a little.

Only Jeff is allowed to snark in here.
Jeff/Tom,

Jeff–You’re too sensitive and defensive. Don’t dignify the dope with a mention.
Nope. You’d have to unwedge his head first, and that isn’t going to happen.
Where does he come off saying your beard is scraggly? It’s a neat, trim, non-apocalyptic beard.
I messed with my trackbacks to get rid of spam and I now I can’t get trackback working again.
