    I am starting to get qutie tired of BLOGGERS BEHAVING BADLY and getting away with it. This is another fine example of how some of these more popular bloggers can turn their popularity in hopes of becoming celebrities.

    In other words, he is really letting it all get to his head and giving bloggers a bad name.
