One from the BNI mailbag. Alex Lemon writes, with her typical understatement:

"The winner in your category only won because she's a hooker and the Guardian bods think they look cool by embracing the seedier side of life. Besides, anyone who calls their boyfriend 'The Boy' in that irritating, unoriginal, hackneyed way deserves to be shot - or at least fall into the shadow cast by the brilliance of your blog.

"That one is not the best written and it doesn't have any of the thought-provoking wit or visually-appealing twinkly bits that yours does. No, in my book you win and 'Belle du Jour' catches chlamydia from one of her clients."

Harsh but fair.
