Mike Grass, of Read Express fame, yesterday lamented that “in the past year or so, some of D.C.’s most prolific local bloggers, El Guapo in D.C., First Date D.C., D.C. Direct Current, KathrynOn and Rock Creek Rambler, among others, have closed down shop for various reasons, including, in some cases, the kind of factional online warfare most of us haven’t seen since middle school.”
Ha! What does Grass mean by “factional online warfare”? Blog wars?
Big Head DC covered the goings on at blogs like KathrynOn and Rock Creek Rambler like it was our job, or something, and, believe us, things went way beyond blog wars. In fact, one of the bloggers who co-wrote First Date DC took his online aggressions into reality, showing up at a blogger’s house in the wee hours of the morning on a cold winter’s night this past winter. That blogger has since left the country. Literally.
Grass also quotes Pat Thibodeau, the operator of the DC Blogs site aggregator, and calls his site “comprehensive.”
Again, ha! As we’ve seen from coverage over the years, Thibodeau selectively befriends certain bloggers, excludes others for inconsistent reasons, and has toiled in blog warfare as well.
We even hear that Grass, too, has engaged in behind-the-scenes blog wargames.
It must be an epidemic! And everybody got sick. Except us.
