Blogger to Globe: Bite me

David was really grooving on this Globe editorial about blogging until the last paragraph, when Morrissey Boulevard told him and other "blogging pioneers" to play nice and make like Arianna Huffington. He replies to the Globe:

... Note to Globe: You, Huffington, Walter Cronkite, the NY Times and the Mayor of Reading are all welcome in our blogosphere. But your concern that your high-toned bigness might just drown out our wee voices is misplaced. The blogosphere isn't a town the professionals can buy up; it's an infinite landscape that will have towns of every sort. We little, irresponsible bloggers are going to continue to find one another and delight in one another. And now and then we're also going to drop in on the upscale respectable towns — well, not the gated ones, of course — and, yes, sometimes we'll be carrying cans of spray paint. But we damn well will not be daunted. ...

My standard newspaper disclosure.
