If you're willing to make a few hundred thousand people have more trouble finding what they're looking for by landing them on your stub pages, just for your personal gain, does that make you the best guy in the world?

Jason, it be better served if you address the original points rather than side step them..

  What's the point of responding if the trolls just vote you down? see: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1176362 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1176362 This is becoming sad. Really... some folks need to get a life.

    That is actually quite typical of you, Jason. You respond to well documented and well written articles that cast you and your actions in a negative light by avoiding any discussion whatsoever that actually addresses those facts, by making more stuff up with zero substantiation, and by insulting and lying about the authors of said posts... but anyone who disagrees with you is a troll. You are a fucking piece of work Jason. Seriously. @Devilboy - technically speaking it was the noindex tags that disappeared (and which he refuses to address). There was never a nofollow meta tag on the pages.

      Yep sorry that's what I meant

    You were downvoted because you didn't address the question at hand (disappearing NOFOLLOW refs) at all!

    For someone who claims they value debate and conversation you seem to expose the opposite in your posts here.. What are you afraid of sir? Some honest debate? Get real sir Your non logic in this area seems to turn people off who were fans of your work in other areas.. Some of us are extremely disappointed in your responses coming from someone, in your own self appointment , who claim to support relevant results from search engine searches.

    If it makes you feel any better, there are currently 23 upvotes on the comment you linked to, even though its score is -3. So there are a lot of people who are ready to give you a hearing, if you want that. It's true that users here can sometimes behave like a mob. But there are also a lot, possibly even a majority, who can be convinced by cogent arguments regardless of who they come from. Whereas if you give up and get mad, you lose those as well.

    I think it's time to weigh in with the question I have asked you in just about every thread When are we going to see the noindexing you promised? From the latest round of commentary looks like some were implemented for a bit - then removed. Which now looks somewhat worse for you... (IMO anyway). Still not hopeful of an answer though...

You forgot to sign with "peace and love". Although maybe that's because it's been ringing hollow lately... might I suggest that you also add "xoxo" to your signature? Maybe that'll win people over.

"I'm not the worst guy in the world..." You're setting the bar quite high for yourself, there.
