Pixy's Third Law of Blogging
The number of idiots your blog attracts is proportional to the square of the number of overall visitors. If your blog becomes sufficiently popular, it will be read exclusively by idiots.
Comments are disabled.
Post is locked.
The number of idiots your blog attracts is proportional to the square of the number of overall visitors. If your blog becomes sufficiently popular, it will be read exclusively by idiots.
To put it another way: As your total visitor count increases, so does the proportion of those visitors who are trolls or fools or worse. That's why Instapundit doesn't have comments.
To put it yet another way: Success is its own punishment.
Corollary: You don't get hate mail if no-one reads your blog.

By this formula, only two people are reading my blog... you, and my mom.
Since I never get mail from you, one can only conclude that "your stuff sucks!" was left by mommy.
Knew that 21 hours of labor was going to come back and bite me on the ass.

So the logical conclusion is we should all be aiming for no readers.
Ah, success at last.
Pixy, this is why you're a genius and we're not.
