		<description>Hey  :)

Amazing weight loss stories here,
And here you can buy Anatrim
http://www.zmeii.com/?toxaawgjgw

I&#039;ve always had trouble with my weight ever since I was young. Of course I tried all the &quot;best&quot; fat loss products, nothing helped very much. It wasn&#039;t til I tried Anatrim that I saw the pounds seriously start to melt away! Nothing helped me lose weight faster. I literally saw 15 pounds melt away within the first few weeks! There&#039;s nothing more exciting than watching pounds disappear, especially when you&#039;ve tried all sorts of different methods and products before. I&#039;ve since read up on Anatrim and am amazed at the number of people who have benefited from its amazing results. I&#039;m halfway to my goal, Anatrim will get me the rest of the way ;)</description>

		<description>There is a word for this Internet phenomenon:

Troll:

to post controversial or provocative messages in a deliberate attempt to provoke flames.

Based on the meaning of the word in a fishing context, I&#039;d say everyone fell for it - hook, line and sinker.</description>

		<description>Ray, in what sense is a Sunday Times columnist &quot;unmediated&quot;? I&#039;m concerned that - if that is indeed the case - there may be little exectation of qualititive differences between newspaper pundits and bloggers.

But I love the irony of your setting up of Mr Bullard - the columnist - as a quasi-blogger, when he seems to think that bloggers are wannabe columnists.</description>

		<description>What a fantastic ruckus. The Internet is populated with vacuous morons, stereotypical geeks, bored housewives, esoteric simpletons, crusty hippies, spiritual pseudo-gurus, wannabe-poets and the list goes on. Ag shame, the Blogosphere (forgive me for using a term that makes me want to regurgitate violently... oops, I did... just a little in my mouth) has been &quot;attacked&quot; by Bullard. Man, how pathetic? How insanely predictable? How embarrassing?

I&#039;m a haphazard blogger and have been for over 4 years now. I usually spend my online time as a forum junkie, slavering over my ever-increasing post count ;p since I prefer the daily instant interation. I am a notorious troll and I try to flame bait at any given occasion, simply to brighten up my day with the gullibility and ignorance of so many who like to consider themselves technophiles. These denizens of the online world think they&#039;re special because they belong to some sort of clan. Once again, I puke a little in my mouth and say: &quot;Blogosphere&quot;? Imagine feeling a belonging to such a thing? It&#039;s as if Bullard taunted the Chess Team at school and they all fought back in their private journals, writing underneath the sheets by the light of a torch: &quot;I&#039;ll get that guy&quot;.

Fragile little snivelling sensitivities the lot of ya. Grow the hell up. It makes me cringe for you. My toes are curling.

David has made a laughing stock of any blogger that took offense. It&#039;s a shame really, because there are, in fact, some bloody decent bloggers out there. 

Bloggers are, in a lot of ways, frustrated journalists/columnists. Their puerile dreams are satiated by the fact that thye get a certain number of clicks on their mundane websites or blogs. &quot;I have an audience. Wow! I&#039;m not alone in this big, scary world. Thank you Mr. Internet!&quot;

What are you actually arguing here? Bullard pays his bandwidth bills (amongst others) with the cash that he gets paid to be read by hundreds of thousands of people. Throwing out free content is pointless really. It&#039;s does have some form of cathartic effect though, the whole &quot;my voice is being heard&quot; and you &quot;feel&quot; that you&#039;re making some kind of contribution to the world and your opinion actually means something. Bollocks.

Your opinion is just a tiny little bleep in cyberspace. A whsiper amongst millions. There&#039;s no barier to entry here fellas. My comment is just as worthy as yours, or Bullards, but I don&#039;t see my weekly column in the Sunday Times.

Bullard is bloody good at what he does and his position reflects that. Your click-throughs and link swapping and mindless rants mean absolutely nothing in the larger scheme of things.

Congratulations, you have a blog. Do you realise how easy it is to blog? Do you realise how easy it is to have an opinion? Do you realise that a trained moneky could probably blog?

I&#039;m with Bullard, let&#039;s get Draconian and ban crappy blogs. Clogging up bandwidth and wasting people&#039;s time. 

I do realise that there are good blogs out there too, but it&#039;s such a damned hassle to try and wade through the crap to find them. So I don&#039;t bother. I prefer to fork out cash for my Sunday Times, where I can at least read something entertaining.</description>

		<description>Having mused over his air-keyboard (not the musical one!), he then slowly drags his wretched old self towards his wrecked burglar bars to catch a breath of fresh air - as he realises that technology is beyond his feebly aged comprehension... At the burglars bars he&#039;s suddenly engulfed by a fit of rage (possibly memories of an alleged burglary), whips out his pen and scribbles something against bloggers. Ah, the worst thing one can do - attack something they don&#039;t know.

&gt;To Bull(whatever here): Blogging is a phenomena far beyond your comprehension old timer. Take your retirement package and forget you ever came across it. But let me let you in on a little secret: Blogging is the easiest way to start and maintain YOUR own web site. Note to (your) self: a blog is usually for &#039;self&#039; and unlike your precociously conceived Sunday attempts at creative writing (yes, we know you&#039;re an illerate old hog - who only came into the media by the biological default of english speaking decent and mild expressionism). Anyway, blogs can be used for research, teaching and to establish a personal web presence - take a pick, but don&#039;t pick on things you know little about - that leaves you with little choices I guess....&gt;

And then the old man retires to his bedroom with a proud sense of achievement as he puts his pen down and anxiously awaits the next day whereupon he&#039;ll give his editor his ad hominen attack on bloggers. If he only knew that certain bloggers can do what he does ten times better over and over, but choose not to, print media is dull, boring and will soon be eradicated by the digital domains (a thought that perhaps gives the old man sleepless nights and wishful daydreams to one day get his hands on a real keyboard)...</description>

		<description>Who cares?

While I do not currently blog, I&#039;ve HAD dozens of blogs which fell by the wayside, some of them still exist today albeit a bit neglected but I have considered myself a blogger for a very long time. 

And this huge hoohaa over nothing has just incited me to start blogging all over again, then I&#039;ll also insult my fellow bloggers because damn, I want some of that linkage! 

But the fact remains that when I read the column, I burst out laughing.

Seems to me there are wayyyyy too many fragile egos on the blogosphere.

I give David credit on allowing me to laugh at myself.

Laugh at yourselves, I promise it feels good.</description>
