Classic, Old School Petulance

Via Ian_QT, I see a wonderful display of childish behaviour that you might associate more with Senior Labour party politicians than people scoring well in a rival blogger’s poll. Yep, Tim Ireland is protesting his inclusion in Iain Dale’s Top 100 list of left of centre blogs. If I was him, I’d be quite chuffed that I had won support from the readers of a blog that is a committed, personal foe. Then again, I’m not Tim Ireland. Thank fuck.

The post is worth reading, as it is the sort of thing that an angry accountant might send to a bank manager over a missing couple of quid of interest payments. My favourite moment is when Tim states:

“What are my options?”
How about you shut up and ignore it?

As an aside, I noticed that I managed to make it into one of Iain Dale’s list myself. At Number 97. Still, I’m not complaining. It is always a pleasant surprise when I realise that people actually read this blog, and it is even more of a pleasant surprise to find that people have taken the time to vote for it. So, thanks to anyone who did.

    I'm amazed anyone voted for it. It's crap.

    He sounds like a right big girl's blouse. He's only prolonging the row for the search engines' benefit.

    Tosser.

    Tim Ireland is not all bad; he has done some pretty impressive stuff in the past (this video, for instance, which I declared the best political YouTube of 2007). But since Brown took over Bloggerheads has just become a swamp of pettiness, with very little worthwhile content.

Erm, there's no real comment policy other than "don't libel anyone" and "don't use the comment section to try to sell your products". If you do either, I will delete the comments without warning. Otherwise, you can pretty much write what you want.
