As one recently famous pop-culture lightning bug called them, "The Gotcha Media," other people reporting on what you do is always a good way to get attention. Negative or positive, people love press and guess what, bloggers love it when their work gets other people's attention.
Critiqulous is no different in that if what is written here gets talked about in another site, the attention will be cherished. Obviously if it's positive, all the better, and if it's negative, well hopefully it's amusing.
This post will serve as collection to the badges of honor and blunders of dishonor that Critiqulous has received over time. Much like the FAQ and The Critiqulous Network posts, this too will be updated over time.

Kurt Sutter, creator of the TV series "Sons Of Anarchy:"
It was a favorable appraisal but I was struck by SutterInk's classification. While other blogs were listed as Music, Arts, Politics, etc, mine had its own category -- Miscellaneous Anger. Unfortunately, I can't argue with the label....Uncomfortable and humbling. February 2009This was discovered after a general summary of his blog Sutter Ink was written in this entry. While he doesn't name Critiqulous directly, it is pretty much an accepted conclusion that he was referring to this blog. The surprising twist in this tale is that no one from the staff here informed Mr. Sutter about our admiration for his blog. It can only be chalked up to luck that he came across what was written and felt the need to share it on his own personal blog.
Fox, creator of the blog Depart Arrival:
Your writing is likable. People can dig it. If you have the opportunity to write for someone some day I'd be super psyched about it for you because that means there'll be another writer that I like bringing something to the table. I'll say frankly, there seems to be a lot of people who write just because that's what they do. Sometimes I read something and I get it but it comes across without passion and as if they were more in tune with making the point that, "There. I wrote something on that." Than actually spending the time to bring something to their readers or audience, whoever. I'm not sure if you have gone for this intentionally but your blogs have a, "Here is something to share with you today," appeal vs a, "Now I'm gonna talk about this. Read until the end kthx" feel.
