This post is a response or rather a reaction towards this person who attack Jagjit on his blog. This is my HATE BLOG POST of the month. You can view the whole conversation here.
There is this guys/gal who is not brave enough to reveal his true identity but have the balls to attack people and excuse them or "blowing their own horns" on their blog!....Blog!....

Before we proceed, lets define what "Blowing Ones Own Trumpet!" means.
Before we proceed, lets define what "Blowing Ones Own Trumpet!" means.
Act in a boastful, self-promoting manner.
Origin
The term in its present form is 19th century. Anthony Trollope, in his work Australia and new Zealand, 1873 observed:
"In the colonies..when a gentleman sounds his own trumpet he 'blows.'"
Every blogger I know off writes about his/her self. They write about their life and according to the above definition all bloggers in the world "Blow their own Horns"
