2Oceansvibe

JAR: The author of Joblog, Rich had a good go at Seth Rotherham, the author of 2oceansvibe in his post the other day. Long story short, Seth has pulled out of the running for the SA blog awards 2007, which is primarily awards for best blogs in certain categories, (there is no award for sport, so there is little interest in it for me) for suspected foul play. Somehow the panellists/judges have managed to have their blogs reach the final rounds and this has seemed to be suspicious.

Strange this concept, that people on a voting committee having their blogs part of the awards will cause some consternation amongst the public. In the comments section of joblog there are all sorts of excuses about why it is ok, why seth is a wanker and how it is all justified. I will never forget my headmaster saying “The more you learn the stupider you get” I must be pretty stupid by this stage, and even I can understand why the Sunday Times article basically calls these awards a sham.

2oceansvibe has won the best blog overall since the inception of the awards and deservedly so. It is a great blog and good reading. If any blog can compete, it would be peasontoast, it would have been nice to see which blog was the most popular and thus the best blog. However this is not to be and it’s a great pity as 2oceansvibe at last had a challenger.

If you bored, go read the comments, they are amazing and mainly pathetic. I am not going to climb on the bandwagon and call Rich a cunt because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however rich, if your mommy didn’t tell you this, I will: If you have nothing good to say about someone keep your mouth shut.
