A number of bloggers have become exercised over the rantings of Neale Talbot at his aptly named wrongwaygoback blog. Some of them thought it an attack on certain warbloggers, or on warbloggers or warblogging in general, when he wrote:
[S]ome don't have a problem with [tip jars]. If you don't have a problem with it either, why not donate to one of the following 27 warbloggers who have tip-jars on their site? But before you spend that dollar, just bear this in mind - if each of these warbloggers makes a dollar a day, after a year they'll have collectively made almost $10,000. $10,000 that could have gone to the victims of 9/11. Talbot's true attitude, however, is best shown by own words:
Do you have something, whether it be in real world the weblogging world, that you think should be investigated, commented upon, or brought to bear in the minds of others? (Emphasis added.) So, we can go back to our war profiteering and our frothing, secure in the knowledge that Talbot didn't believe anything that he wrote in the first place.
