Can anyone make sense of this metaphor from the Richard Williams on Guardian sports pages:

There have been times, I must admit, when dipping into the offerings of the blogging community reminded me of the time my parents went off on holiday leaving food in the fridge and the instruction to do something about a dead rabbit left lying in the woodshed. Preoccupied with pursuits of a teenage nature, I forgot about the rabbit until the day before they returned. On picking up the creature, it became obvious that half of its corpse had been eaten away by thousands of wriggling white maggots.

I can’t work out whether he’s being rude to bloggers or not.

Update:  This from Football365:


The Guardian’s Richard Williams can afford to be sniffy about the geeks and parasites that lurk around the internet.

And sniff he does in his column in this morning’s edition:

‘There have been times, I must admit, when dipping into the offerings of the blogging community reminded me of the time my parents went off on holiday leaving food in the fridge and the instruction to do something about a dead rabbit left lying in the woodshed.’

Someone at The Guardian should probably tell Richard that his scribblings don’t only appear in the refined pages of the newspaper.

Where else? Why the Guardian Unlimited Sport Blog, that’s where.

It’s rabbit for tea tonight in the Williams household.
