Welcome, the curious and unbanned.
Well it took them long enough.
On the other hand, it’s palpably quite a lot better for hits than NOT being banned, so I won’t complain too much. Yes, today Gawker, Defamer, Gridskipper, Consumerist, et al, al, in fact, of Nick Denton‘s bloggy empire, joined the illustrious ranks of … hell, what WAS the name of that fan board? Only Orlando Plus! that’s right, thanks to the editors of Gawker they now stand side by side with a defunct Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen fansite.
They have banned me.
I should probably be hurt by being called “stunningly unfunny” by the people who write TO DO, blog pet cuteness stakes, and Unsolicited, who are, as you can see from their posts, experts on the subject, but strangely, I am not. (I do cop to the ubiquity, though. Yep, they so totally nailed me there. ETA comma abuse: they didn’t even mention comma abuse!)
And today, I am up a significant percentage in hits. To the Twin Hermiones (and Balk) I say thank you. And good-bye.
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
(will miss Defamer though; that’s gonna hurt!)
PS: Update here. Being unbanned is nowhere near as good as being banned, hitwise. I’ll try to make the best of it.
