On Blogging Bitchfights...

Can there be anything quite as inane in the blogosphere, than two individuals from separate multi-contributor blogs, who engage in a war, and actually mean it?

Normally I side with the good folk at The Whig. After all, they're good people... Blair is an erudite figure of insolence, who deserves to live the good life. All he needs is for one of us to sit him down and teach him how to make money, and he can deserve all the fruits of success that his attitude affords him.

The Aboutowners have few redeeming features. They are, in total, a group of smarmy, snarky, limp-wristed pinkos with some particularly dire views on the world. Which is why they will have lives of failure, lest they smarten up sometime soon.

And as much as I dislike admitting it, most of the Aboutowners play fair. Xavier had a go at me recently, in what was a light-hearted and spirited dig. Didn't think it was his best work, but it was not vindictive and nasty.

Tristan is a whole different species. Again, admittedly, his standard of behaviour is not confined to the Left. There are some equally psychotic types throughout the spectrum. One particular female blogger has been recently subjected to behaviour that is no less than that of a deeply disturbed and pathetic mind.

The Aboutowners have distanced themselves from Tristan's behaviour, effectively by saying that they are not going to buy into Tristan's silly little games with Graham over at The Whig. Graham, that behaviour is beneath you. Make the most of having a hot new chick writing for you--that alone is sufficient to drive traffic to The Whig. And forget about Tristan. The little shit isn't worth the waste of ammunition.

Yes Prick,

Was beneath me and a waste of time but an interesting conceptual art project nevertheless. It couldn't have happenned to someone more deserving.

I thought Tristan was stabbing himself in the head with a pencil.

Conceptual art? You're having a laugh, aren't you?

And IP is flat because his Mum wants her house to herself over the holidays.

Tristan,

Just because you have moderated comments on your blog, on account of the general flogging you have received recently for your self-inflicted "poor me! I'm so fucked up", is no reason to fill my comments with your mindless spam.

Perhaps you (or "one particular female blogger") should curtail your tendency to publish sleazy & defamatory posts in future.

It is an unblog, with next to no one linking to it anymore, now that you have gone Xavier.

Defamatory?? So sue us. The only people we seem to be defaming are ourselves and we can defend it as truth. The blogs are all about us. Not you.

Where have prick or myself ever defamed anyone?

Go back and repeat legal system.

Open entry has obviously got alot to answer for.

Snapped out badly Xavier. Why the duplicity?

You commented that you had edited yourself from about town in this string of comments,'http://www.haloscan.com/comments/greylynncc/113446493273018098/' which was the string related to Tristan's post saying war had commenced but nothing had happened yet.

You have now tried to reinvent history by suggesting you did so 3 days before the war, yet your comment makes it abundantly clear you have removed yourself because of it.

I had thought better of you Xavier than coarse duplicity, remember, we can't all be fooled.

Xavier,

you say "Your 'war' was the catalyst, not to delete myself from the blog, but rather to tell Tristan that I had without feeling guilty about it."

Fair enough, I see you were in fact not being duplicitous to readers of this blog in your initial comment above, just your good friend and flatmate Tristan. Lol.
