I was only able to start following you by going to my “followers” page and clicking the “follow” button there.

If you go to http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/crankyoldmissionguy you should see ‘troy holden started following you’ near the top.

Frankly, I don’t care all that much, anymore, because I hate Swan with all my heart for all the material harm he has done to the Mission with his filthy pigeon breeding.

Totally logged-in. Please don’t worry about it — it’s not that big a deal.

Clicking them while logged out should simply result in one being prompted to sign in.

My browser is fine. Plugins — WTF?! WHAT THE FUCK would plugins have to do with a basic page link working across various browsers? Go home or fix it, fuckwad.
