Hi Joe!

Glad to see you understood the message about ad hominem remarks. :)

I agree that I am pink-faced, balding, and rounder than I'd ideally prefer.

Yes, the video is on YouTube but, as I said, it neither names the pseudonym of the blogger discussed nor links to his/her/their blog.

Thanks for the comment!

I just stumbled across this video, and I wanted to know why you have a problem with someone remaining anonymous, especially in the this field, which places emphasis on privacy. I never pay attention to blogger names - I am more interested in what is being said.  Although I think that the blog you are referring to tends to be rather harsh in its judgments, I have found that there is a lot of truth to it. Perhaps it isn't as professionally discussed as some, but does that really make it less?

David: I'll ask again, as you did not respond to the question the first time I asked it: are you referring to The Annoyed Librarian blog in LJ, when you reference "the anonymous librarian"?

What a dick!!!

Stick to writing decent blog posts you round, pink faced, balding troll.

Was a fan, now think your simply retarded.

"I didn't reply or link back to those who I think should not be encourage"

HELLOOO your videos on YOUTUBE.

I'm so glad. :) Thanks for the comments, Alison!

Yup - makes sense! And I definitely cannot criticize your attempt at a video blog post - haven't done one myself, but I think that they can be effective. Point well taken on the opinion piece! I have a different perspective now :)

Best~

Now to your point of if the video criticized those who disagree with me: I think it is impossible to write/perform an opinion piece that does not imply confidence in its own perspective. I'm not sure how to compose an opinion piece that would not annoy people who disagree with it. Does that make any sense?

Hey Alison-

Yeah, probably some of the acronym recitals were a bit over-the-top. This was my first attempt at a video blog post. If I do more of them, perhaps I can dial the obnoxious bits back a bit.

I have to disagree with the assertion that my content resembled that of the pseudonymous blogger at LJ because I wasn't nasty and didn't make personal attacks...and I sign my name to what I say (as did you- well done!)...

[MillerLibrarian]

I hope that these comments are clearer and again, I am very impressed with your response and openness for dialogue - I was afraid that this might come back to haunt me...I hope that it won't!Best~
