Evidently so.

The thing is, people weren’t used to the site layout, so a couple of folks got taken in and are pissed about it.

But I’ll tell you this: OSM (or whatever they end up calling themselves) showed me a lot but putting that post up there. They thought it was funny, and they were willing to laugh at themselves. Plus it caused a stir.

Jeff, you’re correct about that, but the distinction is pretty difficult to make to the average reader. They’d have had to click on the link to find out that was your post title.

Granted, your “liveblogging” is far enough out there that I would find it difficult to believe even if I didn’t know your writing style, but y’know, there are some pretty clueless people out there.

They didn’t have my post listed under “liveblogging.” They had it listed under “Best of the Blogs.”

MY title was “liveblogging the” etc. It was in a smaller pt size.

both left and right call women the c-word and bitches in equal amounts when tempers run high.

Ugh – isn’t that the truth. Don’t forget “whore,” “slut” and variations thereof.

I’d love to say sexism is dead, but I’d be a fool.
