Blognroll..your seriously taking pages from the Shrub now..your not getting enough hits on your blog, so you whip up a little controversy? I had the utmost respect for you..up until today..I won't frequent your posts anymore..your very pathetic in your need for readership. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/blognroll/4026/#c_24359 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/blognroll/4026/#c_24359 Blognroll..your seriously taking pages from the Shrub now..your not getting enough hits on your blog, so you whip up a little controversy?

Dusty, I say this with the utmost respect.&nbsp; I think you are super cool.&nbsp; But don't go after him, don't make an enemy where we have an ally.&nbsp;&nbsp;Something got&nbsp;screwed up, it's over, now let's get back to bringing people into the fold.&nbsp; Under everything, you know the Doc is a Democrat, he just doesn't know it yet. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/blognroll/4026/#c_24362 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/blognroll/4026/#c_24362 Dusty, I say this with the utmost respect.&nbsp; I think you are super cool.&nbsp; But don't go after him, don't make an enemy where we have an ally.&nbsp;&nbsp;Something got&nbsp;screwed up, it's over, now let's get back to bringing people into the fold.&nbsp; Under everything, you know the Doc is a Democrat, he just doesn't know it yet. Thanks for the support, Tom, but if dusty is truly upset over this incident, or has lost faith in me, I don't blame him.&nbsp; I was not sure&nbsp;what&nbsp;the cause of the strange disappearance and reappearance of my comments was, and that's why I presented my suspicions&nbsp;in a&nbsp;tongue-in-cheek manner.&nbsp; If&nbsp;what I did from that point on&nbsp;looked like a pitiful attempt to gain blog action, it was only to cover up my own sense of humiliation over jumping to conclusions.&nbsp; Dusty, I'm truly sorry.&nbsp; As I mentioned, if you want me to delete anything that seems to imply that you are the cause&nbsp;behind the mysterious disappearance/reappearance of my comments, I will do just that.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm really not trying to keep this going&nbsp;in a pathetic attempt to&nbsp;gain blog action, or as a publicity stunt.&nbsp; That may be my&nbsp;ridiculous&nbsp;spin on the whole thing, but&nbsp;it's all just a&nbsp;way of trying to put a humorous spin on what looks like a case of me seriously jumping the gun and jumping to conclusions.&nbsp;
