A new week and a new motto

Hi! I hope everyone’s weekend was good and youse won all your bets on the football games. (I knew I should have changed my NFC pick to Seattle.)

Anyway, let’s begin with a look at our buddy-in-blogging Daniel Rubin over at the Inquirer’s Blinq. On a post about a Philly sports website, Rubin did some things that are apparently verboten in the blogosphere (please, please someone shoot me if I use this word again).

What did he do? He changed the timestamp on his post and deleted a pointless comment. The nerve! Anyway, the blogger whose post was deleted took offense, and left this comment (all emphasis mine):

Well, Dan, you’ve just lost all credibility with me. Not only have you re-posted yet another post to a “newer” timestamp, this time you’ve deleted my comment. Lame. Lame. Lame.

You’re not a blogger. You’re a MSM poseur. [...]

You should be ashamed of yourself.

I don’t really care who wrote this — although, to be fair, he was last spotted saying something like “I don’t have mental illness, so it must not exist!” on a post about Liz Spikol’s blog — but I’m going to steal his fantastic idea.

Philadelphia Will Do: I’m not a blogger. I’m an MSM poseur.

Faaaaan-tastic!
