He says the things that I’ve been thinking of writing at least 60% of the time.
I’m too tired to post tonight. I may be too tired to post tomorrow morning. Here’s hoping not.
The Catmage Chronicles
Andy thought he was going crazy when a talking cat showed up at his front door. He couldn’t have been more wrong.Goldeneyes is a Catmage – a cat with human intelligence and magical abilities. Andy is an eighth grader who is smart, impulsive, and trying to avoid the school bully at all costs. A prophecy threw them together. There’s just one problem: Goldeneyes can’t stand humans.The Catmage world is heading toward war. Goldeneyes and Andy must try to stop the enemy from getting stronger. And they must save a powerful Catmage who’s been kidnapped. For Goldeneyes, it’s personal. That Catmage is her grandmother.Andy and Goldeneyes must try to put aside their differences. If they can’t, the enemy will soon be too powerful to defeat…
Yep, he’s spot on.
Sorry about the self-tipping, Meryl, but I just wrote on the same subject, and I think you’ll find it agreeable too:
Critics of Israel and the Benefit of Doubt
Shabbat Shalom! (Actually, in about five hours for me)
ZionistYoungster, I don’t mind a link or two by someone who comments regularly. What I don’t like, and what most bloggers don’t like, are people who simply put links to their own blogs in comments without contributing to the conversation.
I’m also fine with commenters pointing us to other blogs (not their own) covering the same topics, because I rarely do linkfests any more.
OK, then delete it.
“What I don’t like […] are people who simply put links to their own blogs in comments without contributing to the conversation.” – must be very tough going, then, because I see people do that a lot. So much so that I can’t conclude the part in the ellipsis to reflect reality.
One thing to add:
Blogging etiquette is for those who view the blogosphere as a community, those for whom blogging forms an important part of their lives. I’m not one of those people. I only recently took up blogging, in the middle of the Lebanon War, out of the sense of my duty to contribute to Israel’s uphill battle in the media arena.
Blogging isn’t my life, it’s something I do because of the current need. Since I’m not in it for the community, I’m not beholden to blogging etiquette. I do hat tips to other blogs because I want to, and I let anti-Zionists comment on my blog because I’m in it for refuting their lies. My only concern is that I maintain intellectual honesty; etiquette is not my concern, and if it gets in the way, then out it goes.
Wow. I wasn’t chastising you. I was simply elucidating my policy.
You may have noticed that I left your comment. I didn’t mind it because you’ve already commented and I recognized your handle.
Here’s a tip: Never post anything in anger, and never assume that someone is yelling at you online unless they’re using angry words. Or all caps. Or exclamation points.
Trust me when I tell you that when I get angry with someone, they know it in no uncertain terms.
