Oh noes, I've been Dropped!
So after a tiny spat with Lou Liverlust this morning (over a totally self-serving and self-promoting comment of his on a third party's photo) he's BLOCKED me from his Flickr, and, even more socially devastating, he's DROPPED US from his Top Eight on MySpace.
Oh noes!!!!!!!
I was mildly irritated over the spat (coming hard on PMT) but this actually made me laugh out loud with sheer amusement at the pettiness of it all.
It's like a whole new level of snubbing for the internet age!
Modern technology, how far back in time it's taken us, back to the Victorian age of etiquette and hiding behind fans and dropping folks from your social circle when they've committed some awful faux pas or led with the wrong foot in the quadrille.
I feel a song coming on... we need a modern Mrs. Beeton or Emily Post to guide us through the treacherous quicksand of Netiquette!

An Emily Postnews for the twentyfirst century!
Heavens! What did he write?
He requested to be my friend on MySpace! I blocked him. He also asked me to sort out some press for his label! I ignored him.
Well, if behave rudely towards people on a regular basis for no real reason, then eventually they simply don't want to know you any more.
You may have a soft buffer of people around you who reassure you that your appalling rudeness, bizarre outbursts and lack of social grace are just fine, but for the rest of us, that's simply not the case.
