Moral Standing

I went to Technorati on the first day of launching the Lame Salad blog, and we had an authority of one. Somebody had linked to us, which was entirely unexpected given the absence of useful postings.

The blog in question was a totally grody porn blog, and he had glommed onto the Pseudoporn post. He said-- "Lame Salad made me laugh - a note to the author. I did this too, and look how I ended up, eventually you end up hitting the hard stuff." I h'ain't gonna link to him, 'cause his site is plain nasty.

So why wouldn't my stupid attention-getting blog end up on the "hard stuff"? No ads, no profit motive. Plus I've got standards. Really low ones, but they are there. There's a difference between showing porn and opportunistically pretending to have porn, just like there's a difference between going to the opera and standing outside bumming change off of the patrons.
