Who are you? I have never heard of your blog, and have come across it after seeing a few hits in my referrers list. Now I read this post, and am quite surprised at how petty you sound.
Do you think criticizing my blog and others will make yours more significant? At the end of the day, the JIB awards provided more exposure to many blogs.
With regard to your question, read about the JIBs and see that the awards mean nothing. So no need to disqualify any votes, except those from "ballot stuffing."
One more thing: you present the exterior of a frum Jew, yet your post achieves nothing but slandering others. You might want to rethink your approach.
What is the point of the awards if even you say "the awards mean nothing"?
Answer my questions please. Why shouldn’t there be an honest stats accounting. In it's current form the awards are a fraud and they don't reflects the Jewish blogsphere in any shape or form it is all about ballot stuffing.
I don't see why I need to repeat myself as to the purpose of the awards for the zillionth time, just for the benefit of some blogger who saw it fit to disparage them and my blog. Read the posts on the JIBs.
It is kind of sad that you don't even know the purpose of the awards, yet you see it fit to mouth off about them. And even if you knew about them and decided to criticize them, why the nastiness about my blog?
Aussie Dave, promotion of the Jewish blogs is a great task but I am pointing out to you that the way rules are set up you are promoting crap and this is a great disservice to the Jewish blogsphere.
I am sorry I don't mean to be nasty to you but you should improve the usability of your blog, it is really bad.
And who are you that I should give a shit?
Disservice to the blogosphere?! At least I do more than sit on my ass and criticize. What have YOU done?
May I suggest you improve your blog design before mouthing off about mine. And read up on some Chofez Chaim while you're at it.
I am your brother Tzemach Atlas and not withstanding my usability criticism we have more in common in our views and genes than 99.999% of the world population. You and I care more or less for the same things. But I don't "give a shit" about Loshon Hora! Loshen Hora is for misnagdim and it sucks!

- said the man who spent an entire post bitching about a site and awards he didn't have the honor of being nominated for...
nomination and awards are cheap. Good site are rare. I will give mental award to my own best sites soon. "honor"? pleease...
I can't believe what I'm seeing here. Ratchet it down a bit, Tzemach. Scary talk.
I look forward to seeing who you pick as "best." People who think and talk like you, no doubt.
I liked the JIBs 'cause I got to see what else is out there. Not too sad that I missed this site, though...
how old are we now?
aren't we a wee bit jellybeans here?
reminds me of an old song;
"but I could have told you Tzemach
this world was never meant for one
as beautiful as you"
I'll send you the chords - you can sing it
Poor Tzemach,
The sour grapes are practically dripping.
I have no regrets. I have a large number of active readers, this is what blog is about. I didn't want to be nominated. This is place to exchange ideas not to cut and paste.
Perhaps proper grammar should be a prerequisite as well, huh Tzemach?
suomynona, do you have any substance to contribute if not get the hell out, moron.
Testy aren't we? I thought what's good for the geese is good for the gander?
write a critique of my site I will accept that but not the unfounded BS by anonymous idiot. Let's see your site and we will write what we think about it good or bad, game?
> There are blogs in the running that are only a month old like the "beyond boring and tedious" Beyond BT!
Ouch.
Actually it only hurts when we laugh, but we still love you, fellow Jew.
The truth is that the awards did accomplish their goal of sending new readers to participating blogs. And it added quite a few to the hundreds of unique visitors we're getting daily, so we think it was good for the Jews.
Mark you will get extra hits but the readers you will have to earn the old fashioned way by providing a good content.
Thank G-d our target audience of Baalei Teshuva has been extremely satisfied with the quality of content from our contributors and our commentors. Your mileage may vary.
As I mentioned before, I am not familar with this blog, but from the little I have seen, you are hardly one to talk of providing good content.
You should drink more sweet kiddush wine, because right now, all I am seeing is sour grapes.
Aussie Dave, your awards are a fraud without meaning. Why don't you think of that? You are doing disserves to the Jewish blogsphere.
Tzemach Atlas,
Your attitude is extremely bizarre to say the least, and you are the one coming out of this exchange looking like a moron. I can only suggest that you get over your envious nature.
Aussie Dave, you are a clueless geek.
Atlas,
First time I have ever been called a geek, but coming from you, it is a compliment.
Ciao.
Unkle, I am not talking about success. I am talking about fraud, ballot stuffing and leis about stats.
Unkle, changing of a alias is against the policy of this blog. You might be banned.
I'll tell you what, Atlas. I'll create some new category awards just for you, since you seem to be taking the awards so seriously, even though it has been mentioned a zillion times that the awards are just the means to generating exposure for the blogs.
I hearby award you the prize for Most Appropriately Named Blog, as well as Most Envious Blogger and Most Petty Blogger.
Well done!
Envious of what?
You tell me..I can only go by your ridiculous behavior, which included badmouthing my blog for no apparent reason.
"no apparent reason" I mean if a face is ugly since when I can't say it?
Speaking of ugly, you have launched an ugly attack on other bloggers. I wouldn't care less, since you are some random blogger I had never heard of, and you obviously have "issues" and low self esteem. But why I am bothered by you is the fact that you present the face of a frum person. This bothers me, because what I see here nothing short of a chillul Hashem.
Act like a mensch or shut the f*** up. I'm now done with wasting my time with you.
You are in charge of a fraudulent awards process. Worry about your won sins moron. And yes your site is an ugly crap.
what does "unkle" stand for?
