Pointless barking.

Some bloggers are up in arms because the links to their blogs were dropped out of a very popular blog's blogroll. They were dropped 2 months ago for reasons that were personal to the blogger, kept completely private and the fact was only noticed now by the "victms"... who decided, themselves, to bring it public in their own blogs. Censorship? Gatekeeping? Mean girls?

It is your blog, your links. It is so completely tasteless to complain about being de-linked, it makes me laugh.

I think these complaints are just a way to inflate (create) controversy and generate traffic - bringing attention to themselves.
