“I don’t think your arguments hold up, though. Dooce had to work to get to where she’s at right now- her website didn’t develop a following overnight.”

you are also factually incorrect. From the horse’s mouth (that means dooce said this… and it’s a common saying, it doesn’t mean I’m calling her a horse):

“I realised how big blogging had become when I was fired,” says 30-year-old blogger Heather Armstrong.

“My traffic went through the roof and the blogging community went mad,” she adds.

In other words… Heather herself, admits that it was being fired that caused her fame.

Follow if you want, but your coming here and posting factually incorrect information to defend her… and then suggest to me when I call you on not really reading my post for comprehension, that it wasn’t worth reading, is exactly what I and onesmarmymama were talking about. Blind following and some irrational need to defend her.

I don’t hate dooce. I dislike what you and so many other women do and will probably continue to do in her name. I can’t imagine she’d really like it either.
