I’m Not Sure How I Feel About This

Damien Mulley’s blog won best blog at the Golden Spider awards last week. I think he deserves it, it’s a great blog, consistent, well written, newsy and he’s not afraid to tell it like it is.
But I’m not sure I support his decision to attend the very awards he has slagged off so much. Not only that, but he got taken as a guest of eircom’s. His commentary on the night is nauseating:
I’m very very grateful for the Award and for how I was looked after at the event. They covered the ticket too, not like I’d pay for one! The Golden Spiders staff were awesome and made sure everyone had a good time.
Slurpy mc slurp. I don’t like it.
If you have principles which I believe Mr Mulley does, then stick to them and don’t roll over to get your tummy scratched when “Big Telco” offers you a ticket for a black tie event. He talks about the web being open and that’s why he set up the Irish Web Awards, and how exclusive awards ceremonies are rather like holding the Olympics but only for rich white men.
Well in my opinion, Mulley attending the Golden Spider Awards (email law breakers that they are) is like Mandela attending a KKK Rally! How the mighty have fallen.
