Since apparently I haven’t made it clear enough, do not send me e-mails asking me to plug your blog on my blog. It’s not that I’m a mean person, but I get flooded with these kinds of requests and these blogs have the shelf life of a fruit fly. If I like your blog and I find out about it, I’ll talk about it. Simple as that. This policy extends over to comments also, like the following on the last blogcast:
To which I responded:
Which, you know, I think is fair. Nothing says “I’m just using your site as a platform to further my agenda” than leaving an open solicitation for your own blog on an entry of mine without any kind of reference to it. What you think this is, Youtube? So said up-and-coming hometown newspaper blogger responds with:
BlackGayBlogger.com. It isn’t cute. Filed under: Miscellaneous Comments: Comments Off

Some new bloggers must think this is just another Friendster or Orkut or MySpace, trying to see how many links they can rack up.

Such attitude from people, I swear. I hate it when someone’s rude or pushy on a blog (any blog), and then gets all ugly and defensive when the blog author or other people politely tell that person they’re not going to put up with it? Whatever happened just saying “whoops!” under one’s breath and making a note not to post like that again?
And the whole “Vote for my blog!” thing reeks of high school. Folks who normally wouldn’t give you the time of day e-rush up all in an e-breathless huff and say, “Umm, like, vote for me for Student Gov’t/Homecoming Slut/Most Likely to Move to Pyongyang!” Hmph.
“It isn’t cute.” I’m going to start using that with my students. “Don’t turn assignments in late–it isn’t cute. Don’t fall asleep in class–it isn’t cute.” Sounds just like something they’d say…

Something tells me you cried for days at the loss of this reader right? Maybe you should have told him to link to your myspace page instead.

Ugh, comments like the ones you quoted above are the web equivalent of someone kicking muddy boots on your new white couch. Folks really need more home-training.
