Comments on: Insufferable Quote of the Day — Amanda Marcotte http://www.bizzyblog.com/2007/02/13/insufferable-quote-of-the-day/ The Business End of the Blogosphere Sat, 22 Nov 2008 02:57:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: TBlumer http://www.bizzyblog.com/2007/02/13/insufferable-quote-of-the-day/#comment-98899 TBlumer Tue, 13 Feb 2007 16:53:37 +0000 http://www.bizzyblog.com/2007/02/13/insufferable-quote-of-the-day/#comment-98899 #1, Jill, good points, and I deliberately avoided commenting on all of this until Marcotte played the blame the victim card AND AP in effect covered for her. Especially the latter made it worthy of mention. Although I'm not big on the personality-driven stuff either, I found it absolutely stunning that Edwards' people, and then Edwards himself once he injected himself into this, could be so clueless about the impact of hiring a person with the kind of blog trail Marcotte has. He needs someone like you.... :--> #1, Jill, good points, and I deliberately avoided commenting on all of this until Marcotte played the blame the victim card AND AP in effect covered for her.

Now, I'm even less likely to read her. I really don't think she's won any new readers and I would think she's lost credibility with older ones. Bottom line: I wouldn't worry or waste time on this. And I guess that's part of my problem with some of the big boxes, including Malkin - she wastes time on such petty personality-based items - we all have the right and the virtual space - but I can't believe how many people make and take the time. Anyway - I didn't read Pandagon before unless someone referenced it and I wanted to look and I won't be going to it now either. I'm sure I'm not alone in this expectation.
