Blogland's Infinite Echo Chamber Of Self-Regard

All of its problems and errors notwithstanding, I was kind of amused by this piece on bloggers. Sure, it was a hit piece, and not even a very good one. But if bloggers REALLY want to be taken as seriously as many of them constantly say they SHOULD be, perhaps they shouldn't react so predictably (i.e. hysterically) to bad pieces like this, and just ignore them.

Instead, you get dozens of people linking to each other's critique of the idiot, in their own way affirming his characterization of "blogland's infinite echo chamber of self-regard."

I don't think it was Beam's intention to produce such a response, which is a shame -- because it would be just too laughably easy.
