How to fight with other bloggers (via)
I tend to avoid getting in fights with individuals. I'd rather insult millions all at once.

I'm not sure I entirely agree that you should only "fight" with bloggers or things bigger than yourself. If a blog with much, much less traffic than mine decides to take me on and I notice, I like to think I'm doing him/her a favor by responding (although I usually do try to live up to the "Respectful" in Respectful Insolence when I do so) because it sends a lot of traffic their way. See today's post later this morning...
Well, it says to link to the little buggers and respond, but not make a huge deal out of it and focus on bigger fish. In your case, it is not so much the person you are attacking but the idea s/he is respresenting.
Like people in real life, there are really only two types of bloggers. Those in broadcast mode, and those that aren't.

should i feel special then? :)
Rare exceptions to the rule have happenned...
...and even then, I attacked the racist mob that inhabits the comment sections of your old blog, not you personally.
inhabited. i do clean up work periodically.
Good to know. I rarely go to your old digs now, except when someone links to a good post there.
