I was doing some site stats checking with Google<\/a> and found a link to my site from the blog Venusberg<\/a>. The archive<\/a> link is from 2001.<\/p>\n

Now Dan Griffiths, I think that’s his name, seems a intelligent enough chap, his blog in general is interesting enough to read, but I found it odd that he should choose to take a pop at me…<\/p>\n

…but has still found time to write an unbelievable amount of terrible poetry and spawn a wain. Which means he must have had sex at least once. Well, probably, anyway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, I’m not going to argue with his comment, there is indeed a large amount of terrible poetry on my site, I did after all write it in my mid to late teens, and I’m not particularly educated in the ways of literay rules and styles. Not to mention the fact that I am crap at English Language; but I still found it odd that he should randomly use me as his jibe of the day.<\/p>\n

I can only presume he found the site because of Lords of Midnight and decided I was cheap content for his blog. It seems it was\/is his MO as ParallaxView states…<\/a><\/p>\n

Dan Venusberg is normally a man seemingly content to fritter away his intellect making cheap digs at minor bloggers,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although I wasn’t actually blogging back then…<\/p>\n

The upshot of all this is that it actually pissed me off! Now I’m not a man prone to sensitiveness and self esteem issues, but I actually considered removing stuff from my website! What is all that about?<\/p>\n

So Dan, Happy New Year and thanks.<\/p>\n\"Technorati\"\/<\/a> Dan Venusberg<\/a>, Venusberg<\/a>, Dan Griffiths<\/a>, cheap digs<\/a>, sensitive<\/a>\n
