But adbtlotm, Jim touched only briefly on the pros and cons of "pay blogs." He then proceeded to childish taunts - "what makes (you) so special"? Then to the ridiculous notion that the modest amount collected here be turned over to the band. Then to scurrilous character assassination - "skanky at best," skanky being defined by Webster's as "of low or sleazy character."

I too worried about the "ill will" this plan might possibly cause. Only two cases so far.
