I have noticed that there are a lot of bloggers out there that all that they are writing for is to enrage our infuriate their readers. They are, a lot of the time, just mean. I am not talking about people who are snarky or opinionated. I am talking about those bloggers who are denigrating to others who do not share their ideas and opinions. Don’t get me wrong, I am a very honest person and if you ask me my opinion, I will give it to you straight up without mincing words. But I do not go out of my way just to piss people off. I don’t understand why others do. I was brought up that if you didn’t have anything nice to say–keep your mouth shut. Unless, of course, you are asked.
What really irritates me is when those same negative bloggers spill their opinionated comments into someone else’s blog. Sometimes they are just agreeing with the author, but often I have seen where they are insulting or attacking the author and/or the author’s readers. Again, why say anything? Why do you have to spill your hatred and anger into someone else’s blog?
I guess being who I am and how I am has it’s rewards. I have been awarded many blogging awards such as, The Sweetheart of the Blogging World, Thinking Blogger Award, Rockin’ Girl Blogger and others (ew, I am tooting my own horn, yuck). I don’t think you get those kinds of accolades by being hateful, snotty and rude and letting whatever venom that enters your brain exit through your fingers on the keyboard.
Speaking of awards, I got another one. This one came from TrishK at Not Your Typical Granny.
Thank you, Trish. I really appreciate your gesture. I am not going to pass it along. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings by not choosing them and/or forgetting them. I hope you understand.
Amen to everything you said! I couldn’t agree more!
We are so alike…I’m the same way with the blog awards…I feel too guilty to the people that I wouldn’t be awarding it to that I end up not awarding it to anyone, lol.
yea pfft
you just don’t want anyone to get jealous when you give the award to just me!
muahahahahah
also. I spew , but only when I am sick!
Hmm..then why do you never say anything nice to me?
You said it sistah!!:d
Congrats on making the blogosphere a nicer place.
I heart your blog, too…congrats!!
You have an awesome blog – and you are very nice….
I don’t understand those people either…and I feel exactly like you about awards…just got one and simply cannot choose just a few to pass it on. So I simply said thanks and kept it. All to myself :”>
Have a grand day @};-
That’s why those people usually don’t have any friends in real life, either. They just sit around and get angrier and angrier and are just obnoxious trolls when they can be anonymous online.
I agree with you that blogging should not be done to hurt others intentionally.Congratz!o:-)
Dawn–It’s hard. You feel guilty.
Blue–I don’t have to give you an award. You know I love you!
Fab–I always say nice things to you and about you. Do I have to remind you about the story that I wrote you the other day?
MM–Right on!
Barbara–Thank you!
Tug–Thank you!
Fantastagirl–Aww, thanks.:”>
Mar–I hope you have a wonderful week.
Avitable–I agree. I often wonder how they manage to be married and/or have any friends at all.
Angela–Thanks. Thanks for stopping by!
