i’m split between a one-time win and what peter says. i also think that you have over-looked several other blogs if you think that dooce and i should retire from the competition … but it’s only a competition; it’s not as if you are going to win anything (unless in the last four categories).

Have to disagree with one time win. This would be using a rule to defeat the common wish. When MBIAT wins 2005 andd 2006, I assume that’s because the people think it’s the best in 2005 and 2006. I can’t offhand think of any other awards where you’re perpetually disqualified after winning. (And Lifetime is a one-win race anyway.)

This is the first year I’ve noted a slight air of upleasantness doing the rounds. Maybe it’s just me, in the unusual and unexpected position I find myself. But is Mrs Armstrong (Dooce) wearing any hair shirts? Is zoe boyfriend? I seriously doubt it.

As mike himself said, the Bloggie Awards seem to be in very capable hands. They are the summit of our craft, and we should observe some respect.

I make no apology whatsoever for being nominated in two successive years. None. Thank you to all who did that.

Totally agree on the ‘one time win’ thing.

And I also think, and this is me just being a moody British fucker, that all the non-geographic categories (eg. Best Weblog) should still represent (at least one of) a non-U.S.A continent, to remove the heavy (or solely) U.S.A bias.

Bitter? Me? Nope.
