No, I will not read your blog

If you want to blog, by all means, do so.  For many of us, writing can get things out of our system.  But do it for yourself, not because you care that anyone else reads it. 


I haven't quite figured the post out (not that it will keep me up nights trying to) myself. 

If the OP is having numerous people from here personally harrassing her to become friends over nothing more than WLS, I can see the point of this public post.  Might as well kill several birds with one stone and make a public announcement, yes? Most people don't appreciate continally being annoyed, so it's justified.

If the OP is just posting as a general post, and wishing other posters would shut the ____ (insert your word of choice here) up, then this post is in and of itself an annoyance.

Honestly, I hardly ever click a blog link from someone who hasn't been active here at least a few months. I don't really want a virus.  But then, I also simply ignore and go on... seeing the link itself isn't something that's going to cause a rise in my blood pressure.


Good day, all!

No, I didn't bore the general public with the minute details of every twinge in my abdomen and the intricacies of emotion they inspired.

But, as I said before, if it pleases you go ahead and write one. More power to you. Just don't be begging me to read it.

Why do you care about what other people think

IF you want to make a blog, make one.

See,that's the thing. We *don't care* if anyone cared about ours. Most of us didn't write them for someone else to read,we wrote them for ourselves. If it helps someone who *chooses* on their own without somebody begging,that's great.

So,by all means,start your blog hon. Just don't make the mistake of posting an attention ***** post begging people to come read it.

My goodness, you certainly got up on the wrong side of the bed today.

Maybe you should go back to bed, pull the covers over your head, and try again later.

What a sad, angry, rant.

Not sad, not angry, not even cranky.

Just tired of people EXPECTING me to read their blogs.

I have nothing at all against blogs themselves. Just stop shoving them in my face demanding that I read them.

Lynn,

I've actually met Kel. And while this sounds exactly like something she would say to someones face I do not believe it is/was sad. Angry? Yep but only at the "Look at me!!! Look at me!!!" behavior that a lot of people SEEM to have about their blogs. Blogs should be for the person that writes them. If others do benefit from them, well great. But I think too many people have bought into the theory of "Oh!!! I'm going to get rich doing this!" They all want to go the Julie/Julia route and that is just not likely.

Well, so what if they do???  Nobody MAKES anyone click on ANY of the links, anymore than
walking past an ad MAKES you buy a product.

If you don't want to read a blog, don't.  It's that simple.

And frankly, I think this is a dumb topic and I'm really tired of it.  Far too much  time and too
many electrons have been invested in it!!

And yet, YOU can't help clicking on the thread and hitting that "reply" button....

That's just because I'm not rude to those who answer my posts.  When I get an email
I do that person the respect of answering their replies to mine.  Otherwise, believe me,
I wouldn't have, nor will I intrude on this egofest anymore.

enjoy yourself.
