yaknow I really miss my disclamer...
Hello and welcome to my blog. If you offend quickly,
jump to conclusions, hate typo's and lousy punctuation then you probably need to go
back to where you came from! If not, feel free to stay, you might however,
find out more about me than you care to know but...

I read several blogs daily, some weekly...some just on occasion. depending on how often they are updated, what has never ceased to amaze me is when someone goes off on a roll on their blog about how other people write on their own blogs. who really gives a shit?
when I go read I'm not looking for grammar, spelling or punctuation..heck I could care less, I go to find out whats going on w/ that particular person, to find out how things are in their lives, (and maybe to find the latest test *g*) perhaps they have a way of observing something I hadn't thought of or much about. heck even when I read someones I don't care for I can find something interesting..in some cases more so than on friends sites..but one thing I never do is try to sit and edit or judge them..
I mean if thats why I'm going there why bother?
Disclaimer or not, mean people are going to say nasty things. It's a reflection of who they are, not who they're talking about...
My grandmother was not the best when it came to writing and spelling. She still had plenty of wisdom. She knew how to love.
Some things are just more important than punctuation...
I totally agree:)
*hguz*
Grammar and punctuation are necessary evils of life. No, they are not all consuming and nor must they be present all the time.
What burns me about that whole thing, is that while the writer in question is busy beating down a certain blog writer for their grammar and punctuation... the other end of the equation is busy hosting a submissive's blog ... and man, let me tell you... the punctuation and grammar in that puppy are horrific... but will she get slammed... no... why? because she's in the love circle.
Read up... there are mean people in the world who will say nasty things about others... it's no reflection on the person they are slamming... it's just that certain people on the planet need to have someone to belittle, pick on, etc... in order to make themselves seem like a bigger, better person. *shrugs* Ignore them and move on... they aren't worth the time, nor the trouble. Life is too short to worry about what strangers think of you. The only ones who matter are those you are involved with on a day to day basis :p (in real life, not online)
thanks guys..and Mercy your absolutly right, thank you again for reminding me!
I find it positively *mindblowing* how many people there are out there that can read a paragraph or two of what a person writes, nad feel like they can judge them. I'm out of new and creative ways to tell people to "get a life"... any suggestions?
i do on occasion bitch about blog content/presentation -- in general -- never pouncing on a particular person. and i apologize like hell for my opinions while i'm having them.
but sometimes, i just gotta bitch. i haven't done it lately and feel no pressing need, but i do occasionally post something very general.
*sigh*
