Just this AM I got the pingback. anyway, now that a couple weeks have passed, I have found that the entire little brew-ha-ha has actually netted me some new "friends" "followers" and "viewers" so all-in-all we could say "it's all good" I will say, however, that my wife wants me to tone down too, so that may have some merit, LOL .-= Allyn´s last blog ..<a href="http://bloggerillustrated.net/30k-part-2-finding-a-topic-not-a-passion-and-beating-the-big-companies-with-your-small-blog/">$30K Part 2, Finding A Topic, Not A Passion, And Beating The Big Companies With Your Small Blog</a> =-. so how it is that I missed this brilliant post?

When he saw Allyn's video he disliked it so much he had to show others all that was wrong with it. The problem was he couldn't find anything to substantiate his argument and so had to look further to find it. People do much the same thing when they quote statistics. They manipulate them to prove a point. I think he had his heart in the right place but he let emotions get in his way.

Perhaps if I wasn't on vacation I would have jumped in. If I had I would have approached it much the same as you Sire. I realize that everyone has a voice and how they use it will attract a different group of people. I don't fault Jordan for using Allyn as an example but I think he stretched a bit to make a point. Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr are all tools. Some people love pliers and use them for everything where as another will use a socket for projects that require them. Is there a right or wrong way? I don't think so. To each their own. I think Jordan could have made a better example out of the situation than to point faults. Perhaps, this is how I do things different from ____ and here is why _____. I think the conversation could have been more productive then. The way it played out seems to have bordered flame war and drama doesn't ever seem to end with people learning and growing.

That post does show though that I'm not the only one that thinks that way. I don't see anything wrong with comparing how a person conducts their blog, as wrong as it's done in such a way that the post is constructive rather than destructive.

It looks like I missed out on some truly amazing events, such as you getting the attention of a few A-List bloggers with your boycott. I agree with you about embracing the differences in bloggers. We're seeing the blogosphere evolve right now, and it's changing into something new. The A-Listers are being criticized by the mid level bloggers, and the "trendiness" of blogging is fading away, so there's fewer people jumping into it half assed like there was one or two years ago. And with these changes, the blogosphere is going through a few growing pains, and I've seen several rivalries pop up. There's not really any need for this, in my opinion. We all need to learn to live and let live. And evolve or die. .-= Trey - Swollen Thumb Entertainment´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.swollenthumb.com/2010/01/anti-social/">Anti-Social: The Album… Coming March 20, 2010!</a> =-.

That and the world would be pretty damn boring. Happy New Year!

That and the world would be pretty damn boring.

Happy New Year!

I agree with Jordan's take on the humor. Like you pointed out some people would find Allyn's type of humor funny. Not me. But lots of others.. Fortunately we don't have to go to sites we don't enjoy so it isn't really a problem.. I saw Jordan’s post and watched Allyn’s video.
