I’m sitting here infuriated by Matt Richtel’s hatchet job on bloggers in the New York Times. The death of two bloggers has prompted Richtel to conclude that blogging is detrimental to a person’s health and that the stress of it all is likely to lead you to an early death. I was so pissed that I fired off a rather sour email to Mr Richtel in which I told him that I didn’t appreciate the negative light he had cast on the bloggers of the world.

I mean, people die all the time, regardless of their occupation. People over-work all the time, regardless of their occupation. But suddenly, with the untimely tragic death of two bloggers, we’ve suddenly got to write “death by blogging” on death certificates? Come on, give me a break.

Although I was reminded by this guy that we probably haven’t seen the worst of it yet.
