me: R.S. McCain be talkin' smack, yo
me: http://theothermccain.com/2010/12/03/narcissism-isolation-and-trolls/
Erik: well that's all he really does
Erik: of course his more vile blog cousin is Donald Douglas
Erik: He Who Shall Not Be Named
Erik: P.S. We have a rule at the League to never link to or mention Douglas
Erik: because he is that vile
Erik: The only person on the web we will not discuss
Erik: honestly, RS McCain et alia are just the bottom feeders of the interwebs
me: really, Douglas and not Dan Riehl?
me: Riehl's a lot worse as far as I can tell.
Erik: Riehl is bad for sure
Erik: but Douglas is insane
Erik: and he has a personal loathing for yours truly that is borderline psychotic
Erik: Riehl has no such obsession
me: he used to dislike me but then he changed his mind for some reason
me: wrote a nice blog post about me a couple months back, it was weird
Erik: like I said, totally insane
me: anyway, he takes a swipe the the league at the end of the post
Erik: I'm not even using that word lightly
Erik: yeah I saw that the "2000 visits a day" line
Erik: we are not the most well-trafficked blog in the world, but a lot of the right kind of people read us
Erik: I'd say we have a high proportion of blogger and editor readers
Erik: and growing, slowly
