That was called "Google bombing" and was there simply to change the Google rankings on some really irritating idiots' anti-Bush websites. It was NOT designed to throw you into a tizzy and cause you to run to the mods.

Not once has a mod or Jim warned me or anyone else I know against doing this.

You could have asked me what it was and I would have told you.

And yes you're off the list, oh sensitive one.

There is a difference between being sensitive and being forced to go to a website I would never visit. I would NEVER even think of putting any kind of hidden link to any of the gore/clinton websites, especially here. Just the thought of forcing someone to go to the traitors websites makes me literally nauseous.

It's akin to those idiotic pop-up ads. Had the links not been there..just the words alone..I might have asked you about it or just ignored it.

As far as making this a personal attack, or a personal vendetta, that is not my intention. It just put up my antennas and I was like...whoa....what the H*ll is happening to my computer and why am I at this site.

As far as the google bombing, while a creative counter to what was done to President Bush... I don't know how long you've been doing it, but it hasn't worked yet(using the keywords you're using). It might be easier to put the links on your homepage, with other creative labels, or even make a geocities page with lots of metatags.

Regardless, I wasn't sure what your motivation was..and since I was sent to a place that makes my skin crawl, it seemed to me that it was a gross thing to do..and normally, when gross things are done, I don't ask the person "why" they do gross things. If it invades my space, I take the only action I know.

Maybe a better way would be to make the links, but disable them so they won't send people to the site, like this.

I wish you well,and thank you for removing me from your list.

Well, I didn't get to see it, but I agree with Kim. It's a dirty trick.
