Nashville Is Talking Massacre: A Round-Up


Below are links to a few of the posts about the insanity that was the final straw that led to Brittney Gilbert's resignation from NiT. There are many more posts out there. I may add some of them later in the day.

If you read the comments over at Nashville Is Talking (more) and Tiny Cat Pants, maybe you are as bummed out as I am. Are humans really deserving of the internet, or should we just move back to the cave?

I may have more to say about this latest bit of savagery later, but for now, suffice it to say that this may well have quite a negative impact upon the state's blogging community, especially the minority liberal faction. For one thing, as many of you know, the ABC affiliate that employed Brittney is under new management, and there is no guarantee that the new people will continue the decidedly unorthodox practice of paying bloggers to promote the state's blogging community.

It may be a slow blogging day here.
