    "labeling you “one of those bloggers” You know the 7th time someone made a joke about me working out of my mom's basement I decided "Screw them" and moved out of my parents house.

    All professional journalists should have a Satellite Wi-Fi enabled Laptop or Iphone by now. Even a Blackberry for backup.

    This guy sounds like he's still learning how to use his computer, he said the Wi-Fi was down, did he try plugging into the ether-net jack? With a catV cable? Doah?

    He makes a good point, too... There are some other bloggers who are assholes to the readers and completely hate them and it's ridiculous. But yea... thanks for mentioning me, I guess? :)

    AGREED!!! I mean I'm not paid, I give my opinion away for free, mainly because I don't value my thoughts that highly I guess. However, I must say the biggest lesson to be learnt is that all you guys are lucky SOBs for (A) having a job; and (B) one you also love doing; and anyone who has that should never forget that.

    Also RE: Alex Billington vs. Devin Faraci video, I personally found it hilarious in the same way I found the recent Cristian Bale mp3 hilairous but I took neither that seriously. I guess it was partly that I understand that these are just two guys who disagree and who hasn't been in one of these disagreements or had someone you know in some capacity who just doesn't like you. The only reason this disagreement got way too out of hand was the fact that alcohol was thrown into the mix.

    PS. I love Firstshowing and have yet to read Chud. and I hope to be at Sundance next year if I can get accepted as PRESS and muster the cash.

    I would add not being a douche to your readers. There's a certain site that 'moderates' even nice comments that disagree with Josh Tylers. . .sorry. . .the writers viewpoint. Well that was before they cut that out and made forced sign up and log in procedures that means they now get little to no comments.

    Personally I hate seeing people moderate comments. I love the freedom of expression and the nastiest comments are often the funniest. Blckmanjew, I believe it was you, once told me he wanted to poop in my mouth a little after reading an article I wrote. I still laugh at that to this day and have added that phrase to my repertoire.

    You should add "don't split infinitives" to your "things to not do log."

    Zing.
