With All Due* Respect...

...how the hell do idiots get to be big names in the field? I don't mean jerks; I mean idiots
Okay: I do sort of mean jerks, but the kind of jerks that insult the readers, not the ones who make snide remarks about other lines of reasoning.
See, I'm not very good with names. But I was reading an article today and the author pulled this nasty trick -- again, on me-the-reader, not on me-the-person-who-may-have-something-different-to-say -- and I realized that I knew exactly who this author is because s/he pulls this trick all. the. time.
Big name. One of the top 5.

*Well, there may be a little respect lacking...

Return to Silence

So you haven't blogged in a while.
Well, I've been busy.
Hm.
I'm not sure Sudoku counts.
Well, I'm busy now.
Except you're reading blogs.
But I shouldn't be.
And it takes me so long to write an entry.
Hm.
Remember why you supposedly started this blog? Dr. Crazy's post from yesterday shows it works.
Fine.
I haven't blogged because I think people won't like me for not blogging in so long.
Hm.
So you only read bloggers who post every day?
No, of course not, but --
You're not that nice of a person.
What?? I'm nice! I try to be --
I mean, you're not Cinderella; you're not nicer than everyone else. Don't you think what you're saying is a little selfish on your part?
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay, I'll post.
