Respect

As a blogoholic, I know that not all of my blogs are going to be relevant to everyone. Hell, 99.5% of my blogs are probably completely IRrelevant to the majority of reds on here.

But I still have a right to blog my little red heart out, about whatever I desire, whenever I desire. And I expect that if someone thinks a blog o' mine is stupid or it doesn't "speak" to them, they'll just f.ucking ignore it.

That's what I do, when I see frivolous or otherwise irrelevant-to-me blogs (and believe me, I've seen a few).

I would never go out of my way to comment negatively on a blog. If I disagree, I say so, in a respectful way (hopefully).

And if the blog doesn't affect me or speak to something I'm interested in, I ignore it.

I think that within the confines of our little red world here, there needs to be basic respect and common decency when it comes to the way we treat each other.

NO ONE has the right to dis anyone else either IN or ABOUT their blogs.

No blog is more important than the one before, I don't care who you are or what you're writing about. Someone wants to share a joke and someone else wants to write a diatribe about a social issue? Both have their place and both should be respected.

And if someone really wants to start a discussion, well, that's what the forums are for, right?

Ok, just had to get that off my chest.

I'm actually shaking right now, I'm so furious at what I just saw, but I hope I was calm and rational, here.

Lol, you are corrECT, Brandiwine. Every day when I login, I go back at least of couple of pages to catch up on what was written while I was gone.

Also: if one really feels the need to stay on the front page for a longer time to get more responses and engender more discussion: post in the forums. Those stay up a LOT longer, and that is really where the discussions should and do happen, anyway.

Up on the top menu there is a little thing called "blogs" if you go there it lists the last 10 pages of blogs. I happen to use it alot, I sometimes go back and see if there was a reply to something that I posted on someone else's blog.

Just a helpful tip. This is also where it lists the top bloggers.

I have a solution......go to page 2......if need be, go to page 3....etc., etc., etc. Thissite is supposed to be fun, so lighten up & have a blast!

Perhaps we could have a time limit the blog stays on the home page maybe of ten minutes before it can be knocked off.  This gives people some time so their thoughts can be seen and responded to.  You get a blog typed up there and do something else and before you know it its gone and no one ever sees it.

Team Jules!

What I'm saying is everyone sees the main page.  So unless you go into each persons personal page you don't see their blogs.  So the blog area on the main page is the only place where others can see your new blogs.  Some people monopolize this area by posting multiple blogs one right after another.  In the case of the aforementioned incident, it was clear the person was seeking to increase their stars.  They mentioned this in the blog title.  So once again when people have their blogs knocked off no one gets to see them.  So if you talk about respect, then others should respect others by not monopolizing that space.

Well, I AM one of those "certain people" and I have every right to do that. Brandi does it. Hillary does it. Eunice does it. This is a place where, if you have something to say, you should feel free to say it, without the fear that someone's gonna jump down your damn throat for saying it.

As for this being a public forum, yes, basically it is. But you have NO IDEA what people are going through and you have NO IDEA why someone might HAVE to set their profile to private. You have NO RIGHT to make ANY kind of judgement on that. None.

As for answering blogs negatively: I have not seen any answered negatively here in a long time and I have NOT answered any negatively, and neither has Eunice, and I expect basic f.ucking common courtesy for myself and for everyone else. Especially when a blog contains words like "devastated."

You're making yourself and your blogs more important than other people's, and I'm ever so sorry but that just ain't the case. 

Who are YOU to judge what is important and what is not? And who gives a rat's ass about the list on the main page, anyway?

If people don't want there blogs commented on good or bad they shouldn't post them.  Additionally when people close their personal pages so no one can communicate with them in private, how does one submit personal response to them.  I've had blogs answered negatively, enough to get my ire up, but it is everyones right to respond to them if they wish.  This isn[t a private site.  It is a public arena for members and nearly everyone can get on here with little effort.  It just seems to me there are certain people who take up all the space on the blog list.  They block up the space so new ideas can't be seen by the masses.

Well, I think in this one, I sound a bit like Little Miss Priss with a branch up her butt, but that's how I write when I'm trying to control my emotionals.

And thanks again, Brandi.

Andthank you Way and Sinnie, too.
