I know many do not, and some even have strong feelings against it. But today I did something I thought I'd never do. I unrecommended Fishgrease's diary, even though he's one of my favorite Kossacks and the diary is most worthy. Why would I do such a thing?
I did it because there's a "Blogathon" on about our environment, and we need some consciousness-raising. DailyKos is an excellent place to do that because lots of people at least monitor it, and sometimes the stories here are even picked up by the corporate media.
Some of the diaries on the rec list have been there most of the day, and usually comments -- discussion -- diminish before the recommends age enough to let it slip off the rec list. Here's today's schedule, and some excellent diaries are coming up:
Blogathon
Thursday August 12
1pm pico
2pm Fishgrease
3pm citisven
4pm Bill Mckibben
5pm oke
6pm Project Gulf Impact
7pm JekyllnHyde
Flame me if you will, but I'd just like Kossacks to consider joining me in unrecommending a favorite diary so those coming up can get more attention.
(Disclaimer: I have no connection to the excellent series, only real fondness for planet.)
