In Sachen Allgemeinheit

Zitat vom Spezialistenblog:

„Wer etwas ins Internet einstellt, will dass es auch gelesen wird, sonst würde er es ja nicht tun.
Diese Regel besteht zumindest bei gebildeten vernünftigen Menschen.
Leider gibt es auch arme Individuen die den anderen nichts gönnen, aber deren Beiträge verunglimpfen, und die Links blockieren.
Diese Protagonisten und oder Egomanen schaden aber auch der Idee Bootsferien ungemein.

Zitatende

Ist dem Superblogger schon mal die Idee gekommen, das er durch diese Verlinkungen, die Serverzeit und die Kosten der anderen Blogger und Forumsbetreiber schamlos erhöht. Das diese Art und Weise der Verlinkungen sich negativ auf die Transferrate der Verlinkten auswirkt hat er immer noch nicht verstanden. Das man einmal anfragen sollte ob man Verlinken darf ist eigendlich das normale bei vernüftigen Blogger oder Forumsbetreiber. Ist es vieleicht Absicht dann handelt es sich nicht hier um eine gewisse Fairness gegenüber dem Rest der Internetgemeinde. Wir stellen Beiträge und Fotos nicht ins Internet damit er nur noch Verlinken muß, oder sind ihm die Ideen ausgegangen???

Also wer ist hier der Egomane???

Was ich noch sagen wollte: Es ist das letzte Mal wo auf meinem Blog von seiner Existenz etwas zu lesen gibt, er ist keine Silbe mehr wert. Dieser Mann hat sich schon lange vom Sockel gestoßen, wo er einst sein Denkmal aufstellen wollte.  Wer also hoch hinaus will, fällt um so tiefer. Tschüss RJS
