I've learned more about this effort, your comments resonated with me (at least enough to give your site a fair look), and then I went to your site. I'm sucked in ... I get it now. And I think I can help with this community. Now I don't frankly know what it worse -- using Tony's blog post to explain my gesture of support, or adding to the self-promotion fracas by posting a link here. I'm thinking the link is better, and more respectful of Tony. So Juliet/Elaine and other 2000 Bloggers supporters, I invite you to http://kickstand.typepad.com/metamuse/2007/02/i_was_wrong_abo.html. Peace. Juliet/Elaine,

As for "bashing people", I believe that I took exception to their *actions*, and the mistaken belief that many of them held (if many of them did hold them) that participating in the 2000blogs exercise would be a "link building" exercise, because I don't believe that it legitimately is one -- if all people are doing is adding themselves to a large link list without bothering to cultivate those relationships ... or really make something out of those links. Cheers tony. Elaine, Elaine, Elaine … ;)

Perhaps next time you decide to bash a bunch of people and gain hate traffic from them you could at least bother to get their names right. By the way, his name is Tino, not Tuni.
