Erno,
You took the conversation out into the blogosphere. That’s what SOBs do. Thanks for the links to the translators. I knew babel fish, but not world lingo. I’m always looking for good translators, who better to get them from. Congratulations SOB!
Liz
“just another opinion blog”?!?! You have to be kidding me.
Matt
Hi Matt.
Good to see you! Thanks for coming by.

Liz,
I have lost a lot of respect for you after you posting JAOB to the list after accusations of stealing by him. This is oh so sad. Next your going to name Martin Neuman the Man Blogger of the Year or something. Have you completely lost all sense of understanding?
Seriously I question your business mentality on this issue. Your credibility is lost according to me. SOB basically just means your personal friends who you like enough to put on your blog. It’s becoming a wild huge friend link list. What’s the business value in this?
David,
That blog got listed the same way that Jack did. The rules are the same for everyone.
I’m sorry it concerns you. We can discuss it offline if you like.
Liz
What concerns me is the business model of this site. Not that its any of my business. Its your site but you have ignored sane people like Scrivs,Me, and others you’ve created a pattern of truly strange moves and although you claim to keep it highly professional you do shit like this that makes me wonder. It’s become a boring linkathon that is truly truly boring. What advice do you have to offer people to make their blogs successful?
Seriously though I wish you the best of luck with this. But I don’t see how you want to sell it when you wanted us to do all the hard work. Seriously I should send you a bill for all the hours, and headaches you caused me all hours of the day getting your site up and running. Now putting this guy on your site is truly the last slap in the face.
David,
I’m truly sorry for any pain I’ve caused you. If you wish to talk further, please take this offline.
Liz
You have my email.
truly, ruly David, when you froth and foam like that you sound like the real mad ranter … more so than usual 😉
“Not that it’s any of my business” – I love it, because you say it and then go on and on. Just can’t stop yourself, eh… C’mon Krugster, take a bow and have a smile. Life’s too short for this nonsense. 😉
Cheers and peace,
The Man Blogger of the Year
Martin,
Seriously I froth and foam because Im a passionate person. It’s who I am. Woot.
Hi guys!
This is not really on topic commenting.
Could both of you discuss this offline?
Thanks.
Liz
My point with this blog is that he’s way below the standards I normally see here (JAOB) – plus this guy has falsely accused many people of crap, including accusing me personally of design theft on blognetworkwatch.com
I have no use for him. Neither should you.
Matt
David,
What you say then, cheers and peace … lets have a virtual beer and stop the nonsense, C’mon … 🙂
I keep sending him scotch.
Since when did you start boxing in your commenters. I can pull 25-30 of your off comments if you would like. Oh I understand it all makes sense.
On topic though
Life through my eyes is a good read. That was a keeper.
Martin and Matt lets all grab a beer and stop this bickering about nonsense. Let’s all make gazillions. Liz you can come too only if you play nice.
I’m already making gazillions. 😉 That’s how i can afford the scotch.
Matt
Hey, Beer is always good.
Hi Liz. I just noticed my SOB. Thank you so much. While I’m still trying to figure out your business model I must say that your blog helped me solve one of my problems. So, because of your SOB list I found help for my Technorati problem.
Thanks, Roar
Congratulations Roar!
Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions–or gmail me. I’m interested in knowing just what you’re trying to figure out . . .
