“When I link, though, I try to send my readers away. I share every bit of my traffic that I can. Do I tend to link more frequently to pieces with which I agree, or which I think are correct? Of course, because those are the ones I tend to consider most worth my readers’ time. But it’s certainly not true that I never link to pieces with which I disagree — or which are written by people who disagree with me.”

Anti-web, makes me laugh a little there. I am so grateful you keep all of us readers in mind when linking.
Also bad are the comments that do not relate not to the topic and make not one iota of reference to the current topic but are simply backlinks. I prefer negative topics.
