Amber and I were inspired to write this post together whilst reading CordieB’sblog post today. This also could be applied many times to Lindsey’s blog too.
Hey you, you know who you are. You are the blogger who feels the need to pontificate not only on your own blog, spreading your personal agenda or message (garbage), but sharing it on other people’s blogs as well. You comment at inappropriate times, and say inappropriate things. Worse yet, you try and sugar coat it with fake hugs and syrupy sweet language but what you really are spouting is hate and anger and negativity.
You don’t seem to care about the topic that is actually being discussed, or the people who are discussing it. Not even the feelings you might hurt. No, to you, it is far more important that YOU get YOUR point out there because after all, YOU are the centre of the universe right? We all deserve to hear from you.
Ironically, as you spout your agenda you tend to miss the most integral part – your heart. You get so focused on what you have to say, that you bypass the true message of a post and go off on a tangent that leads you to look both foolish and ridiculous!
So often we can be blinded by our own agendas that we miss out on the beauty of living, breathing, and feeling. We lose sight of the true miracle that is the human spirit and most of all we lose our compassion for fellow man.
The moral of this sad story is this: There are ways and means of saying things. If you do it in a dictatorial way “ten to one” all you are really doing is pushing people further away from your “message”. Perhaps thinking before you speak (type) is the way to go….
Maybe you should remember the old adage “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all!”. Well it definitely applies, even in the blogging world. Manners and humanity do not lose value in the blogging world any more than the real life world. How you conduct yourself here shows your true nature and character to all of us who read you. Remember that.
Keep this post in mind, the next time you feel the need to “Hijack” someone else’s blog. The natives who read it might not be so polite in the future………
Respectfully, {{{hugs}}} Amber and Sanityfound

Speaking of syrupy sweet langage, LOL!
