dAWk and the Double Standards
Aussie Dave | Apr 17, 2005 | 4 comments
dAWk laments the lack of courtesy amongst bloggers, manifest by the countless bloggers not “tracking back” to bloggers they are speaking about.
What I don’t get are the people who can’t step up and let you know when they’re talking sh*t about you. For those not familiar with blogging, there’s a simple tool called a trackback, located between the main post and the comments section on most blogs, that you use when talking about another blogger’s post in your own blog. It’s not required (obviously) but it’s a common courtesy, gives your own blog more publicity and makes it easy to see when other people are talking about you.One blogger who follows that rule, even when calling you an anti-Semite, is Israellycool. He had a brief, but emotional, infatuation with me for a few weeks where I ended up with a small pile of trackbacks.* As for the rest, and there’ve been six or seven that I know of, they seem to not know how that trackback feature works.
Funnily enough, dAWK himself does not track back to Israellycool, despite “talking sh*t” about me. Go figure.
* sounds painful

OMG, what a hypocritical loser.
I can’t remember my login, so screw it. This is scott, lovingly referred to here as dAWK.
Look, I didn’t trackback because I wasn’t talking about a specific post. If you remember, when I did reference specific posts in the past I sent trackbacks. Where am I supposed to send a trackback to if I’m talking about your site in general? You give me a post where you want a trackback and I’ll send it.
oh come on, you could have tracked back to one of the many posts refering to you
I don’t really have an issue with trackbacks; I was only pointing out your hypocrisy.
