Am I Under Attack?
So I was looking at my referrer stats (I'm so vain, I think that song is about me) and noticed a TON of hits from various "friends" pages from LiveJournal. Cool, I thought, I'll check it out. None of them had any link or anything to do with my page.
Then I saw a few other odd referrers, and again, none of the pages showing up there actually had anything to do with me. Odd.
Then I noticed that all of the "referrers" were pointing to my recent Ben Schumin Attracts the Attention of Wingnuts post. And recently, Sadly, No! has been clobbered with DOS attacks since their post mocking and belittling the Gathering of Chickens Eagles rally went up.
So unless there's some other explanation for why I'm getting tons of referrals from pages that don't actually refer me...I'm going to go ahead assume that my discouraging words about the anti-anti-war protestors have netted me at least a little attention.

I used to be puzzled by all those "friends" referrals as well. I think the friends thing is: LJ lets you set up an RSS aggregator of posts from sites you like. They seem to update pretty frequently, so by the time you notice it in your log and check it out, the link to your post is gone. Unless you're a no-lifer who runs a real-time stats app like Mint that lets you obsess over things every second and so catch them in the act. Or so I've heard :-).

I figured it might be that - the fact that they all came at once, several days after my initial post, just seemed weird to me.
