Keep Your Bullshit to Yourself!

It's been a long time since I had a good rant! I am gonna have one now though.
I don't know about the rest of you but if you belong to a certain Social Networking Site that has for some stupid reason, made it possible for people to send one message out to their entire community, then you must be getting some of the same spam as I am.
I have tolerated the invites to 'visit my blog' or 'read my post' but lately I have been getting these spam messages asking people to leave this community or that community and character assasinating other people.
What the hell is wrong with people? If you have a problem with someone, then email them, private message them or unjoin their community. Why are you subjecting me and others to your childish behavior?
Short of quitting this Site altogether I don't know how to stop this spammy bullshit but I will tell you right now that I will unjoin the community of the person sending it and delete them as a contact as well.
This may be of no consequence to the spammer but it will at least empower me to not have to be associated with people who want to act like two-year olds.
Leave me out of the drama - thank you very much!

Note: There is apparently an email opt-out for Community Messaging that you can get to by editing your Profile. If you are as sick of the spam as I am then you may want to try doing that.

Get Real!

I have had it! Listen, I am a Blogger. I read lots of Blogs, or at least skim them. When I find one I really like, for whatever reason, I add them to my Technorati Favorites. If, and only if, I really really like that Blog. Why? Because I have put a Widget on My Site that allows me to know when my favorite writers publish something. Do Not ask me to add You to my Technorati Favorites. I do not care if you added me to yours, I Do Not care if you will BlogRoll me on your Site, I don't care if you stand on your head and spit nickles,I don't care what your offer. My Technorati Favorites are just that. MY Favorites, so enough already! I will never add you there if you ask me to! Do Not ask me to join your Community, especially if you have not joined mine. That is just stupid and rude and I tolerate neither very well! Another thing that I want to mention here. When I write an Article, it is my view or my opinion only, but a lot of thought goes into what I put on here as it is a reflection of who I am. I don't expect you to always agree with me and it is actually great if you don't, but do let me know what you think! Take the two seconds it takes to make a comment. I assume that most of you that read here have Blogs of your own. Don't you want people to comment on what you have worked so hard to write? Well let's treat each other the way you would want to be treated, and for goodness sake, let's try to be a support for each other rather than a source of competition. My goal starting tomorrow will be to visit at least 10 Blogs and comment on every single one of them. Yes even the ones that I am a bit intellectually intimidated by. That's My View of It!
