The cheaters are at it again.
The Bloggies have been tainted by cheaters in the past.
Now the 2004 Weblog Awards are.
Both venues have done what they can to clamp down on false votes, but you have to ask yourself why some people are so desperate to win that they’ll cheat, either for their blog or a blog they like.
Win what exactly? Bragging rights? A superior sense of position?
What am I not understanding?
Update: Right Wing News didn’t get a very good response to it’s 3rd Annual Warblogger Awards this year.

Maybe they just love empty victory? Maybe there is nothing else of value (or so they believe) in their lives, so they generate value by inflating their vote count, and thus, their ego?
All I know is, cheating speaks of emptiness, because when all is said and done, the truth can’t be cheated, only emptiness can be fooled into believing anything was gained or accomplished.
To be fair to at least some of the cheaters, they weren’t underhand in what they did but made an announcement about what they were doing. I didn’t agree with them, but they were trying to make a point beyond merely winning the poll.
Fair enough.
Point well taken.
One of the reaons I gave up on all that aggrandizement long ago. Now, I just write and draw and well, what - ever.
