He was deemed a naughty lad you see as the object of his post, and others who happened to have the misfortune of his tongue-in-cheek. Whereas his arguments are substantive as debating points to outsiders of the realm, questions arise as to whether it’s all “Fair Game.” [...] [...] A case in point is my new friend, Amitai Givertz.

However, my position has not changed since our last exchange and <a href="http://recruitomatic.wordpress.com/2006/07/11/india-stealing-jobs/#comment-103" rel="nofollow">my comments</a> on an earlier post. What I cannot accept is your implied underestimation of our readers' intellectual prowess or attention span or willingness to learn through play (related comments on Recruiting Animal: <a href="http://recruitinganimal.typepad.com/recruitinganimal/2006/08/advice_for_ami.html#comment-21163431" rel="nofollow">Advice for A Young Blogger</a>). There are enough blogs out there talking to the lowest common denominator. Do I have to be one of them? Anyone who reads the Recruiting Animal could easily walk away thinking it's all guffaw and ha-ha-ha. But it's not, is it? Again, I would rather a reader come once and decide not to come back than compromise my own experience of my own blog which is for you to share – if <em>you</em> choose. Bottom line is this: we couldn’t be more different (stylistically) as bloggers or more complimentary on the fringe of this space. Being authentic is all that matters when blogging here in the recruitment bubble. We have it, I think - I hope. EXCELER8ion has it. Colin Kingsbury has it. Your HR Guy has it. Shally Sterkel has it. Jim Durbin has it. There are a good many that have it. And, there are a good many that don’t. All that said, as it relates to my Blog Swap posts on Recruiting Animal today, I concede your point.

Therefore, a reliance on them will, in fact, limit the appreciation of a message.
