Bookmark the links - Mr. Silverback (I pinged you this time) is trying to get me banned (zotted was the term he used) because I dared call out Bush's weak handling of this issue.

Well, I hope you stick around.
It is though proper netiquette to ping a person if you mention or quote them in a post.
You're not the only poster who links to their blogs or sites,
as long as the big man doesn't complain I wouldn't worry too much what others say.
