Pat Thibodeau, aka KOB, the usually gracious leader of DCBlogs.com - a site that links to the live feeds if many Washington blogs - has banned Big Head DC from joining the list.
“I’m not going to add your new blog for now,” he recently scolded me in a scathing e-mail. “I don’t get what you’re doing, or the totally pointless gratuitous shots you have aimed at other bloggers. You’re a launching pad for rancor and one that I’m not interested in being part of.”
What, what, what? Pat seems to be letting his personal relationships get in the way of his usually impeccable ethics. He never once expressed a problem with the old site, and he continues to link to pump-dumping blog warriors, like Roosh V, as well as lawsuit-embattled sex kittens, like Jessica Cutler (who has featured nude pics on her site many times in the past).
Pat also routinely links to sites that have committed acts of libel, which is utterly perplexing. Why is Roosh celebrated for contemptuously lying about my professional and personal life - not to mention threatening to kill me - but my site is reprimanded for mocking the occasional outlandish acts of certain DC bloggers? Why has Pat promoted the flat-out lies coming from Kathryn, Circle V and others, while the solid reporting and popular spoofs produced by Big Head DC are somehow taboo?
Of course, it’s his site, so he can censor us if he so chooses. But, honestly, what’s the real reason behind his decision? And what made him change his mind about us (he once gushed that he loved the old site)? Pat?
