I was alerted to the existence of this converstaion by Charl this morning. I have not been keeping uo well with all things blog related and the state of my own is a crying shame. I do think that I have caught on in the meantime though, so here’s my ten cents worth:

I looked at trafficdepartment and quite frankly the author would be better off applying for a position there. We see so much of that type of nonsense on the www and the mere fact the the guy’s site was defaced just proves his inexperience and/or lack of understanding of teh field he is applying himself as an expert to. Be that as it may, there are other articles that deal with that joke, so on to the crux of this one … how to respond to criticism.

I must state first of all that I too sometimes make statements that offend and then I get a flaming on my own blog instead of people pitching in and contributing to the conversation. Funny thing is that if you should do similarly to those same individuals on their blogs, your response is met with utter disapproval. Seems some don’t understand the double-edged sword concept.

Kudos to you then for responding to allegations against you in such a well mannered and calculated fashion – I bet your adversary is spitting flames by now.

As for remarks about Charl – the man is a genius and one of the most modest, ethical people I have ever met. To accuse CharlVN of defacing a site can be likened to kicking a puppy – why hurt and/or insult someone who has not an evil bone in him?

This Guy should be buried with his head sticking out of the ground for all to piss on.
