I know someone who writes for a Gawker blog and they have confirmed this very thing to me. That’s how I even found out about it.Yet, Engadget will still deny it.

It’s pretty obvious that Engadget is blacklisting all sites that could be a potential threat.

They know better than anyone that a new site can come from nowhere and become a high-traffic site. Isn’t that how Engadget was born?

It is also true that Weblogs Inc is a linkfarm. It’s not really illegal to do so, obviously, but that’s the way it is.

If you don’t like them, don’t link to them, or do the same thing as they do: link some other obscure blog instead of linking to engadget.

[...] One often wonders how this here internet produces such a website that can be linked so well to Marmite. For those not familiar with the good ole’ saying – Marmite “You either love it, or hate it”. Engadget offers news galore, quite often relayed from those who spend hours in a day bringing this information to the public. One such example of Engadgets extremely hard working staff can be seen here, here, here, here, Oh and here. As many have said, having a black list is all fine and dandy, more-so if you do well to keep it hidden. But if Engadget was to actually have the story proof read, and accepted in the first place – I think this huge kick in the gonads would’ve been easily missed. [...]

[...] Possibly, Mr. Block didn’t have the time for such a check and made the executive decision to edit the entry. A mistake? Certainly. Whether or not it was intentional is still being debated. [...]

Ignore me all you want. Probably ’cause I just proved you’re full of crap. Calling me confrontational after the post you wrote here and the drama you keep dragging on is quite ironic.

Way to go, liar.

Ellie, I believe I’ve gone as far as I’m willing to go publicly. To make the decision to air all this in front of people is not a small one, and you have to make decisions about how much information is enough, and how much is too much. While the extra info I have IS pertinent, what I have said so far should be sufficient.

In a way, I feel that my mentioning this “extra info” has been a mistake. People are pouncing on it, and blowing it out of proportion, as if I had some sort of smoking gun that I’m, for some devious reason, purposely hiding. It’s nothing of the sort. If it was pivotal to the case, ugly as I feel it is, I would have mentioned it. It’s just a few more little details that, when considered as part of a greater context, help paint a slightly clearer picture.

If you wish to know more, you may contact me directly, and we can discuss this privately. The email is always “editor” at this domain. Only know that I have every intention to keep what I tell you private.

And Vinny, when you learn to adopt a tone that isn’t agressive and confrontational, maybe I’ll pay attention to you. I “noticed” you in the digg comments just fine, I’m just choosing to ignore you.
