I'm just being petty and irritable, of course, but this annoys me a little bit. See, I sometimes cross-post over at AlterNet, mostly because I'm a fan of the site, but also because I'm an attention whore.
I know it's their turf and everything, but if they wanted to change my title, don't you think I might at least have been given a heads-up? I got no notice whatever, just a surprise when I went there and saw it done. Likely that's where the "alter" comes from in their name.
Trivial gripe, I know, but I'm acting a crank today. Probably for the most part because I'm jealous that theirs is better than mine, and because I understand why they did it. I should know better trying to be clever all the time; lesson learned. I can still bitch about it, though.

I would have been pissed too. They could have at least asked you first. Besides, I like your title much better.
ReplyDeleteAnd I 'Liked' your comment for that compliment, too, thank you very much. :-)
ReplyDeleteI also liked your title better. But I think I personally wouldn't get too bent out of shape - so long as the thrust of the content wasn't changed. But for some reason - I'm not sure why - I've always hated the phrase "hissy fit."
ReplyDeleteI'd have been annoyed too, Doug.
ReplyDeleteNah, they don't change content, they can't do that. And I'm over the title thing, too, I was just bitchy for awhile. Also, like I said, I understand why they did it; their re-do is certainly more search-friendly for their site than mine. I just wish they would have shot off an email or something, how that they don't do made-up words like homocon. Altho I did Google it after, I wasn't as original as I thought anyway.
