Pedal pusher

Shoot me if this is no where near the truth. But surely if a blog is on the public domain, and people are free to drop drivel like a leakey bum, surely by the grace of the Almighty, we as readers should be allowed to comment in a manner befitting the post/comment?

I mean really. I read some of the responses to comments and answered emails from irate bloggers who feel I am too harsh or personal. One person even threatened to implement blogger moderation. Surely, if you dont want those ugly people saying ugly things, you should either not blog and keep the madness inside your head. Or worse, restrict the number of people who read your blog. That way you can keep all the nice people who will only say nice things about you. Free speech works both ways and I dont believe in this if you dont like it dont read it shitit! It's in the publc domain, so surely any person with two braincells can logically conclude, that not everyone reading this will pat me on the head and give me a treat. Or am I too optimistic. The bottom line should read, if you cant satnd the heat, get out of the kitchen. Your blog is public property. Deal with it. You pollute the internet with you random thoughts about being angry, what men want and how woolworths is a substitute for having a personality. Give me a break. Not exactly straining the cognitive process. So in the same breath, comments should be allowed the same flexibility you allowed yourself while posting that trite you call a post.

besides you enjoy the thought that you might gain some groupies who will assauge your battered egoes and make you walk around with an erection all day. Only two steps out of the cave... Higher thought is an admirable goal.

Once again, my opinion. Feel free to leave more hatemail and warnings with a totalitarian finger wagging.

But I'm sorry but if someone leaves a dumb post, in my opinion anyway, I think it's fair to comment appropriately. It's about balance, not about skipping through the daffodils and kissing the sun. If you feel i'm too harsh, your retort is welcome, encouraged in fact. I feel like captain America fighting for the democratic way.

you sound like youve got a stick stuck up your backside!

anyway, well done for operating the "freedom of speech" tag - but anyone with half a braincell will come to realise not everyone will conform to it. i.e dont expect everyone to think alike, your royal upness.

mr harvester: they wouldnt accept you at sailor school?

Blog crit: are you agreeing with me or with the agriculturalist,
sofi: come a little closer and we can see what's stuck up yours.;-)

Dragan said...

yes that's what i said. why so angry sofi? it's not about ppl conforming either. it's about the ability to understand freedom of speech works both ways and not thinking your Blog is sacrosanct.

blog_critic said...

I'm agreeing with your sentiment. Most ppls blogs are there for them to get praised by their unknown blog friends.Lots of it is just shit

Dragan said...

well thanks. i guess. one less comment armed with almond essence.

hmmm i just feel that if someone does have anything nice to say they shouldnt say it all... its causes less probelms and blogs arent really about a person, if u really wanted to know the person behind the blog u got to know them personally, not everything about a person is written on the internet...

Dragan said...

So you should not say nice things to people?

well thank you for that, but i stand by my original statement. dont and i mean dont post and expect everyone to enjoy or like what you post. people should not be so sensitive.

@ saffiyamk: as much as you can deny it, your blog carries a blood trail back to you. your personality is embedded in your words and preferences.

@ dragan: as you probably noted from one of my posts, my opinions are somewhat similar to yours. people don't like being told that others can see the ugliness in them. it's not really them that bug me, just the wanna-be knights in shining armour that come to the defense of their good buddies.

Dragan said...

Cujo - Well this is something I say in response, if you have nothing clever, dont say anything at all. It usually shuts those whingeing dogs up. Try it. See what their counter is. Should provide you with more copter moments...

safiyyamk said...

@cujo: so? sue me!

blog_critic said...

Saf trust me if this was america u'd have been sued ages ago.For grievous mental harm.And loss of intellectual property.I think that the complicated language of cujos comment must have been lost on u somehow.If u did understand it pls dont hesitate to put it in essay form and submit it. Just as long as its better than the exam essay answer u put up.That made me pray that I'll never be ill

@ saffiyamk: yep, dragan was right, you lost the plot. what i was trying to say is that your blog, whether you like it or not, is a textual respresentation of you. no matter how overblown your net character is, you are still that character, just in diluted form.

@ blog_critic: lol, well said.

Dragan said...

come on kids, usually by this stage we have threats of violence, sodomy, sedition, and lectures from the moral right. will someone draw blood already. please.

what i'm saying is that as a person, who knows who anyone is. but your blog carries a certain representation of you. merely reading through your stuff ppl comment appropriately. feel free to comment appropriately in response.

Sofi said...

wow. so this is where or all the blogger 'critiques' gather for them energy boost. eh.

Dragan said...

I'm sure you meant critics not critiques, i'm going out on a limb here. but hey you know best.
