The tweet that shook the world.

Okay, so I spent a good deal of the last week insulting William Shatner because he blocked The Bloggess on Twitter. It seems that pissing off people who love The Bloggess is now officially a Bad Thing To Do (tm), as we pulled together in an army and roasted Bill 'til he caved...and unblocked her.

It built gradually, but still happened pretty quickly. One day you're fine, and the next thing you know you have a code name* and you're in The Matrix, and then...victory. We didn't even have to wait four years to achieve our objective (unlike the Wachowski brothers).

And it'll be a huge BYOH** party in Zion tonight, let me tell you. Success is awesome.

Honestly, I haven't had this much fun on the internet since 1999 or so. And that is a high compliment to the members of the Bloggess Army. Also, it's a relief to know that there are so many witty people out on the web. It was beginning to feel like a giant infomercial out there.

So, thanks again to the Bloggess Army -- and a special thanks to William Shatner for being a sport about it. Really, Bill -- all my best to you, too!
