Because of the whole elitest nature of svblte, I actively go out of my way to ignore it. When the 'cool kid' in school doesn't want you to be in his group, you don't mimic him and try to be like him. You say fuck 'em, I'm going to do my own thing.

While I understand the sentiment; I do. Svbtle is nothing more than a network of blogs by various authors that one man (dcurtis) thinks have good substance. Your argument is roughly equivalent to me saying I'm starting my own newspaper because the Chicago Tribune won't print my article and wasting my time being all angry about it. Not worth it.

Given the quality of some of the svbtle output, I think that the Chicago Tribune comparison is overly generous.

I don't think you properly appreciate how their thinking trumps that of the unwashed plebes.

Honestly, while its not bad writing, my mind has never been blown on any svbtle blogs. So the OP isn't missing anything.
