Yet another blogtard "retiring"

Read Chuq's site for the details, but here's a precis:

<blogtard> who made a career out of <being famous for being famous> and relentlessly marketing itself is stepping back because they need to get back in touch with more personal ways of communication, that aren't subject to the harsh, insulting, sometimes scary comments from the anonymous cowards that fester in the swamp of the blogosphere like the ill-mannered trolls they are.

Rather than subject itself to that relentless battle, <blogtard> is walking away. "They won", <blogtard> was quoted as saying. "They finally beat me down. I'm done. This just takes up too much of my life and my happiness, and I'm done with it. I'm going to get back to more personal contact via <equally cold, impersonal intardweb communications method> with the <number slightly less than 1000> close personal friends who have always stood by me."

See? I've just wrote the same retirement notice for all the blogtards who do this. Shit, I think I saved Scoble from 4 poorly-written posts a year alone.

Here's a tip I learned from the artist behind Something*Positive: If you're going to leave a list/forum, stop blogging, whatever...stfu and do it. Don't make big overemotional announcements. Just stfu and go away.

That goes double for any A-list blogtard.
