		<description>I know, Daniel! How does he handle having people respond to his writing in occasionally less than intelligent ways on the *internet*?

I honestly don&#039;t understand paid bloggers who have an aversion to commenters. Implying that the readers who frequent your site aren&#039;t intelligent enough to reply to it seems pretty smug to me.

Ryan: You seem to have a healthy respect for innovation, especially as it relates to using the internet to deliver content. This site&#039;s greatest downside is its utter lack of innovation. It&#039;s a difficult thing to reconcile, especially since many of your readers hold you in some sort of esteem.

		<description>I&#039;d have disabled the comments section at this point. I don&#039;t know how you do it.

		<description>The really awesome part about these comments is that down to the last man, they all applied to be my intern and they were all rejected 1) Because they sent rambling, incoherent emails 2) Had huge entitlement problems 3) No idea what they were talking about.

		<description>So many haters.  Take it for what it is.  Dogs doing something funny, or just looking stupid.

If you don&#039;t get atleast a chuckle from this site, I feel sorry for you.

		<description>Congrats for picking up a successful site.  However, that doesn&#039;t change the fact that I think your new website is enormously stupid.  I LOVE lolcats, and I have seen quite a few funny pictures involving dogs.  That aside, the majority (over 90%) of your pictures are not even remotely funny.  Not in the least.

		<description>If you look at the Alexa rankings, there&#039;s this huge initial jump and then a slow, steady decline (and what looks to be an uptick in the last week or so).

Why did that decline take so long?

		<description>What are you talking about?

I think we can all reasonably agree that it&#039;s more likely that I bought it because as a dog owner I understand the business opportunity as opposed to buying it to &lt;em&gt;prove that I like dogs.&lt;/em&gt;

On what planet does your comment make any logical sense?

And it&#039;s not like I made this thing myself over the weekend - it&#039;s not a spin off, it&#039;s a sustaining and highly trafficked website. It&#039;s like weighing in on the 3rd season of Frasier and saying it&#039;s just a sequel to Cheers and that those types of shows never work.

		<description>What I don&#039;t understand is how you can not put a question mark on your last sentence. That is a sentence, right? Just kidding.

You obviously take yourself too seriously, for I see your reply riddled with frustration and that you see your point of view as &quot;the lighter side of life&quot; and my objective criticism as &quot;the dark side&quot;. What is the point of having a comment section if you can&#039;t handle objective criticism? At least mine was positive criticism, for I wished you success with FailDogs. Hey, I am obsessed with dogs too and also own a Dachshund. Although, I am not going to buy a website to prove my obsession.

I guess I am just confused because I don&#039;t see how this website is funny. We both must have a different sense of humor. It just seems like a spin-off of lolcats, which wasn&#039;t funny either. The pictures are kind of funny, except for the caption which makes it not funny. But hey, its your hobby. Have fun with it; and I hope you earn a return on your investment.
