Can't imagine why.

Oh, no, wait, I can.

If I wanted to have snarky conversations with strangers who don't really like me, what I write about, how I write about it, or my taste in pajamas, I might as well do it on my own blog/websites.

Seems to apply to Lucky, too. Why bother engaging with the FT Perez Hilton Forum? Yeah, they're former FTers, but the gloves are off now (despite whatever protestations of "let's not be personal" existed to the contrary at the beginning, any limits are long gone now- we're now discussing pajamas, sex lives and where people own property).

I see it all as a win-win, though. You get your own corner of the Internet, and they get theirs, and IB gets their page impressions.
