Yesterday my blog was a victim of Google’s SpamBot going out of control, today, it’s a victim of Sitemeter combined with Internet Explorer. If you are having trouble seeing this site using Internet Explorer 7.0, so are thousands of other people who visit sites that use SiteMeter on their blogs. I use the FireFox 3.0 Browser and this site renders FAST and QUICK without any errors...

Requisites to Religiosity
I realize that this post is vague; I have chosen to make it innocuous on purpose – because the damage to me by this JBlogger is already done. I write this in response to a personal conflict between me and one JBlogger who prides himself on his Orthodoxy and great fame on the internet.

Haveil Havalim #150 is up today

Bloggers beware...

This morning I stumbled upon this post at A Simple Jew, Used Properly, which is a link to an article on Yeshiva World by Rabbi Avi Shafran provocatively entitled Blogistan. Rabbi Shafran sums up Jblogs as anonymous as well as obnoxious, with personal opinion-diaries which display utter...
