isn't it a general trait of the true blog-pimp that they don't respond to comments but rather just post and run?
Oftentimes, but when they get angry at being exposed, they can get really ugly. There was a thread the other week where one got so ugly that the mods gave him the zot! :)
The definition has evolved. First, it was somone pimping their blog by placing it in a sidebar. Then it became someone simply posting an excerpt of a regular news article on their blog to generate hits. Now, it's become someone who posts original material in the Bloggers Forum where it belongs.
Yes, they do tend to post and run. But when someone posts a challenge to their pimping process on one of their threads, they can get quite verbose....and nasty. They sometimes even freak out and start posting to themselves.
Blog pimps can be entertaining.
In small doses.
