  This guy hit me too, but Akismet caught all 3 of his linkbacks, so the powers that be are doing their job. On the upside, it got me 500 hits on my blog.

  I wrote to his domain provider, but he probably owns it. From the email addy he posted as his contact, he isn’t going to listen to reason.

  It appears that the truthfulnews splogs have been removed.

  The blog is back, but starting over. it seems to be pinging other splogs now.
  when i did a search on this for truthful news this weekend i noticed that the wordpress forums came up first.

  this blog has caused quite a stir in blogland over the last couple weeks.
  but i think that we can see that bloggers can bite back from these internet nuisances.

  Borealdreams continues to harrass our blogs and across the net accusing us.

  This is no surprise. He is addicted to our site. He lurks in there all the time, then makes up 2 stories about us on his blog.

  Then he goes on pages like this and accuses us of spam.

  borealdreams is a clown.

  @boraldreams and @obami.
  this thread is about splogs, which typically use computers to read the RSS of tags.

  there is no evidence that a blogger can redirect to this defunct Splog. Their would be nothing to gain by doing so.
  lets end the accusations here and lets keep the forums civilized guys!
