Interesting (or not). Over on Memeorandum the only links to blogs complaining about the SiteMeter "New Coke" upgrade go to wingnut blogs.
I said the new Sitemeter sucked, down there somewhere. But it does seem to be about right that Greater Wingnuttia wanted to Speak Truth to SiteMeter a lot more insistently than, say, I did.
Why is a mystery, but I'd speculate that it has something to do with wingnuts taking this blogging crap a lot more seriously than I would ever care to. Also, online "conservatives" are just generally whiny, precisely the sort of horrible assholes who bitch the screechiest when it comes to shit that they get for free.*
*(Let me go out on a limb here and say that if you pay for SiteMeter, there exists an excellent chance that you are a narcissistic dink. This may not necessarily be true, but as a matter of empirical observation, the point stands.)
