I donÂ’t see the point of criticizing others unless itÂ’s done it jest or the person really deserves some grief, but there are a shitload of bloggers I canÂ’t stand. Some of them are popular but most of the people on the list arenÂ’t especially high traffic sites.

The Great Pretender
I have a lot of pet peeves and a lot of things annoy me. One of those things is when people pretend to be experts on things or talk about things as if they had a great deal of knowledge, experience or insight when in fact theyÂ’re completely off base or just plain wrong. IÂ’m not talking about opinions, which are subjective, IÂ’m talking about facts. ThereÂ’s an old sayingÂ…A Chinaman can say anything about kung-fu and be believed, no matter how ridiculous. The same is true for the Internet.

The One Trick Pony
Yawn.

A Dollar Short
Some bloggers become obsessed with a post they write or a topic that amuses them. Temporarily. They then try and milk it for a week before they decide no one gives a shit but them. Shampoo, rinse, repeat. These people have more false starts than the 400 meter event at a school for the hearing impaired.

The Shockblogger
Self explanatory. This sleight of hand technique is used to misdirect you from the absence of actual writing.

The Tin Men
Here we go round the mulberry bush. Some people would shoot their mother for a hundred more hits a day. Trying too hard reeks of desperation and is terribly sad. I recommend a drive in the country or perhaps a good prescription drug.

I donÂ’t think I need to point out that these are not mutually exclusive.

Feel free to add your own in the comments or take a shot at me. IÂ’m thick skinned.
