The Other Site

Something compelled me to visit Blogster yesterday. I wanted to see if I was still on their "mailing list. I was.

I also wanted to see for myself what was going on over there. Pretty vicious and foul-mouthed posts/replies.

I even posted something (first time in 28 months) to see if anybody noticed. Several people commented. I may have recruited some "newbies".

I won't be visiting again for some time. It runs very slow, by the way. I'm here for the long haul.

Blogster is bad news city and I see no reason to go over there and let them
upset me.

Right now there is a real war raging on Blogster that I somehow am in the middle of. I am trying just to avoid the people who keep trying to fan the fire. The language over there gets more vulgar all the time.

So why do you subject yourself to the harassment? You know what Harry S. said (kitchen, fire...)?

I have a fast connection so I never have any problems with page loading speed or anything like that. Keep in mind also that as cookies are set your browser will load the site faster, as long as you don't have your browser set to delete cookies every time it's closed.

I get along with most of the other Blogsters there, with three or four minor exceptions, mostly passive aggressive pussies who like to talk about people behind their back and drop obvious 'hints' about other bloggers, which I see as a worse form of attack than direct confrontation.

Yeah, it can be a rough crowd now that there's no moderation, but only the crybabies want their nanny back. The rest of us grown ups do just fine without the babysitters.

Welcome (I think) to our little corner of the blogging world. Pretty mundane stuff, but I like it. It's the emoticons that keep me here!

I'll have to be mighty bored before I return. Somehow, Hayduke found me (mrWilson over there).

I don't have any trouble posting there as far as speed but I will say I have never met a more vicious group of people--I have recently, and still am, on the receiving end by 2 attackers as is another blogger from here--their language is gross, rude and crude--I don't suggest anyone going or blogging there--I don't read or comment on their blogs but they don't stop reading mine--I do delete any comments they make on my blogs--I blog there because of 2 reasons--I find it very easy to post pictures and then I can transfer them here (don't know why but I do follow the insruictions here and pitures don't pot) plus, and more important, there are a group of people there that I like and don't blog here
That site has really hit the gutter since Eddie left and started mybloggers.

I noticed your name popped up in a negative way over there. I've never had anybody attack me. Must be because I'm so sweet.

I drop in occasionally (I had to spell that three time to get it right. All those double cc's, double ss's and double ll's), but I don't like to hang out there. It feels like a step back into grade school. Name calling, etc.

Sort of like "necessarily" (see, I spelled it wrong and was corrected!). But I'm glad to hear I'm not the Lone Ranger on this. Hi Ho Silver and away.

I hear ya... I don't post there hardly ever...

I getcha, but is that proper grammar? Tee hee.
reply by solitaire on July 27, 2010 4:26 PM ()
I go over there now and then to see what is going on.Not much there for me.I liked it here very much and have no problem with any of the bloggers here which is good new.

For a conservative "owner" (Eddie), this is a pretty liberal site. And I like to stay away from controversy (for the most part).
