I think it’s personal.
Defense: It’s not like we were married. We weren’t. I was with Blogger in a casual sense for about a year and a half. It was good. It was. We shared some laughs. We shared some tears, although to be perfectly fair, I was the only one crying. When it came time for me to move on, I did it gracefully, I think. WordPress just had a little more to offer me. Maybe I’m in a selfish phase. But now, half a year later, Blogger is getting ugly.
And by ugly, I mean Mean.
Eating my comments.
Refusing to update readers’ feeds.
Denying me linkage.
Request: Blogger, please? Will you just let me make a few slightly witty, non-controversial comments now and then, on the clever blogs of writers I love? Will you put your hurt behind you and let my friends link to my site? Will you please let those chosen few loved ones receive the feeds they’ve asked so nicely to get?
Please?
Confession: I recognize my inability to swear complete loyalty to you. I know my limits. I know that my dreams of something bigger and more photo-friendly must have hurt you.
But can’t we just be friends? Can’t we move on to a more formal arrangement? Can we please agree to infrequent visits and polite greetings, instead of random acts of abuse?
Proposal: Let’s compromise. I keep my screen name and my password. I visit many, many Blogger-hosted sites. I read. I laugh. I comment now and then. And you, well, you let me.
Fair enough?

Blogger hates me too. We were seriously tight for almost three years. It just can’t let the hurt go. Tsk. So immature. Hope you’re able to come to some sort of arrangement!

Haha. And here I thought you’d just forgotten about me.

I am so sorry blogger treated you so poorly. It doesn’t know what it is missing. 🙂

Blogger’s been eating your comments? That’s a whole new level in wrongness (bad blogger)! I hope it starts to behave soon! =)
