Like I said, it was a great article. But I for one want nothing to do with the publication from now on. Which is fine.

First of all, 3WM do not have the kind of numbers to be backing a claim like that, but when you expect a community to respect and accept and literally submit to your project, you should maybe take tue time to consider the fact that you are NOT a blogger, and ways in which that may mean something, other than just looking down your nose at others.

There are just too many, with too many niches and unique networks and traffic flows, anymore. There need to be more, and more nuanced, ways of talking about what the best blogs are, than there used to be.<br /><br />Personally, I gravitate towards well-written ones, and ones that regularly come up with opinions or views of Korea that don't appear on this list: http://www.monster-island.net/2009/02/say-what-you-meme.htmlRoboseyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308196436612993379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-90413500307268683472012-07-02T18:04:38.010+09:002012-07-02T18:04:38.010+09:00Preach it sister.Preach it sister.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10696134124456980467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-57146401939617427402012-07-02T15:21:54.702+09:002012-07-02T15:21:54.702+09:00Mass asshat seizure sounds about right.

There were not one, but two giant bitchy flounces on Gwangju-related Facebook groups this weekend that made me roll my eyes so hard they nearly sprained.
