Moo. Moo I say!
<-- 7:38 AM MT -->
And just in case you missed it the first time:
So we get a community full of trash talking internet kids hopped up on the false sense of power that comes with your first taste of double-blind anonymity, IRC refugees now running sites that post pictures of fat chicks with irrelivant quotes under them, and miles of text trash talking other sites. All of this makes e/n very much akin to AOL chat rooms, and less of a weblog sub-genre.

Wow. Someone must have found something and spread the word. My inbox is filling up with hate/flame mail. It is almost getting rhythemic:
Open email
Read "Dude, you don't know that the f*ck you are talking about..."
Right click
Kill file
It seems to me that these are the same people preaching "If you don't like it, don't read my site." One the other hand, I will be the first to admit that I am not e/n. Look at the trends. I don't follow many of them. Look at the bottom image here. Does that say weblog? Wait, does it? Yes. Yes I think it does. Not that I really think I fit in there either. There isn't even one link in this whole thing. Ah well, when I first started this I had no clue any of these other sites were around anyway. I have been a little more constructive for the last 3 years. I was running a support site for a UO Counselor team (blacksage.net) and converted what I learned there to my life once I quit as a counselor. So yeah, I tried running an e/n site and hated every minute of it. You can't get personal when you have other people talking on your site as well, and 12 updates in one day is just annoying to read. But that's ok. I am not you, I have my own opinion, and I will stick by it. Personally I would rather be a boring rip-off of another site then a site that is setting the standard for posting stupid womanizing crap every day.
All in all there is only one site I feel bad that I had not mentioned. Much love to Moo.Nothing. Fox is a great person, he is up there on the list of the coolest people I have ever met online. Thess' writing is great to read and always an eye opener. Can't say that about many sites these days.
