So somehow I've been drug into a blog war, much like a country that just happens to share a border with another country is drug into violence when the events of one country just happen to spill over into it's territory. Yet another sign that it's time to move on.

Another sign that people have far too much time on their hands, and far too much imagination, and are in need of some serious counseling (please see the post left by an anonymous commenter on the last posting) - this is someone who used to post on Meg's blog. The two of them have fallen out of sorts with each other, and now they are flaming each other around the internet. I thought it was amusing, and was staying out of it, because how really ridiculous is it to start to hate someone you've never met, and to start flinging about insults like two second graders (nanner nanner foo foo).

Pandora was annexed earlier this week; Meg's identity was hacked. This person started leaving comments and posting as Meg. Why BLOGGER let this continue I will never know. Now you can see the person has set up two anti Meg blogs, and insults other readers, myself included. Since the person in question obviously doesn't know anything about me, I chose to let the insult pass.

Certainly, though, it's time to move on. The internet is definitely a home for lunatics and people of all varieties. I've heard it said that the internet removes all social niceties and allows people to show themselves for whom they really are - minus all the constraints of polite society.

Now that I've cleaned the slime off my monitor....

Happy Friday

I don't believe in using offensive language either(hee!) but who is the pathetic childish c*nt who left that comment on your previous post ?

Pandora said...

tell me about it!!! I had 14 comments (from 'anonymous' or someone that hates meg) from just on post. I finally decided to preview the comments before being 'published.'

There's a fascinating topic. "Preview before publish?"

I personally don't think that's the way to go.

Ah but we all do. We have to. I know of people who have taken down blogs or stopped writing (self included here) because they've attracted some asshat who hides behind the internet veil of anonymity when posting.

Sorry that you guys got dragged into this. I've had to preview comments for a year because of this crapola.
