Commentary on Comments

It occurs to me that there is really no "Blog Etiquette" concerning, most things in the blogosphere, least of all commenting. I don't read Miss Manners but I have enough common sense that tells me, if you take comments on your blog, you need to answer them. People take the time, to leave you a comment, do they not? There is a tab in your settings, so you may remove comments. But....that's not what you're doing. Nope, I'm on to your shit. You think, what you write is so fuckin fascinating that everybody wants to comment and you need only to write, write, write everyday, so your adoring fans can feed your fucked up ego. You suck a fat man's fart and I'm calling you on it.

I'm sick to death of leaving comments, only to have the site owner, pick and choose, like we're in High School, who they will grace, with a comment. I don't want to be in your fucktard cliche and you have just made my point. You know who you are.

I do not claim to be awe inspiring or especially witty. Nor do I claim to always write thought provoking shit. In fact, I often take the easy way out, as I work three jobs and post a picture, with a comment and leave it at that. But damn if I don't find the time to comment back because if you took the time, to leave me a comment, I can find the fuckin' time, to see the fact, that you took the time, to leave it. It's called common courtesy, it's a reach around for you cavemanque types.

I guess what I'm saying is that your bullshit is transparent. You have delusions of grandeur. You think you are all that and a box of Godiva. You think you're a witty fucker with a fan base who just loves you to death and whatever you write;
they will pay homage to.

Those of you that comment, continually are just as lame as the poster, as far as I'm concerned and from this day forward, I do not want to be known, in the same mind set, crowd, cunt lapping, group groping, as you. I could really give a real fat fuck, if you disagree. Those of you that think you are all that, need a big ol' Bitchslap and then a probe stuck up your ass. It's similar to a prostate exam but it's called a Reality Check.

If you are this type of blogger, I'd be willing to bet, you behave the same way, during sex...half assed and get in, get out!!

Well it's a bit like a frienship, innit? If you are in a crowd and some people always ignore your contribution and only respond to the inner circle, you eventually feel alienated and don't hang out with them anymore.

Similarly, if you visit a blog and comment a few times and you never get a return visit or interaction with yours, you assume the blogger doesn't care for you or your writing and you don't go back or perhaps you go back but read and enjoy without commenting. In other words if they rebuff your offer of friendship, you simply move on.

The Etiquette should be the same as real life: treat people online the way you want to be treated. It's amazing how the annonymity of a screen can lead to some people forgetting basic human manners.

Paula said...

I hear ya. Now I don't keep score every second to make sure things are exactly equal, so I probably don't return one comment for every comment, but you get a feeling when you're not "important" enough for certain bloggers to bother with. This is part of the reason I deleted my blogroll and went to Google Reader. Why should I do these people the favor of linking? Maybe I still want to read their blog, maybe I will comment, but they're not getting a link, hah. And it works out nicely because these are the very same people who love to have a million people linking to them in order to feel like a Big Fucking Fish or whatever.

Xmichra said...

no idea who you are talking about. But i know that i like to have comment banter. It's pretty much the whole reason that i don't keep a blog but still talk with bloggers. It's social, and i like the chat. So without it... i am not reading. Maybe that is biased on my part.. but i just don't see the point.

Also, i dislike the "big blog" people who pick and choose, and who think they are all special because they endured post partum in a deluxe posh duplex. Give me a fucking break.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

JJ, Good points. I could say that I am not out to make friends but that would be a lie, somewhat. But it surely irritates me, when people come to my blog, I respond to their comments and then, I go to theirs and they just ignore it. I can often see, the difference between them being busy and out n out ignoring. I understand that people are often busy and can't always comment back, I give that understanding. But I suppose it is a mockery, if you comment and they can't even tell you to fuck off for fucks sake.
Yes, people do not have manners maybe? In their safe anonymity, they allow self-will run riot. I'm telling the teacher!

DirtyBitchSociety said...

JJ, maybe I should just take the hint, huh? I think I will remove the links for those occasional, when it's convenient commentors. So say all...

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Miz UV, I feel ya and know exactly why you equalized the situation. Now, I love linking people. I have some links that I hardly even visit but it is a courtesy, as well as on their end.
I suppose you can't force, fairness or cordial behavior but it angers me and I want to call them on it!

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Miz Uv, I most certainly love telling them that yes, in fact, their shit stinks, hah!

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Xmichra, wel for the most part, as far as I'm concerned it's all about comment banter. I love it too. The more the merrier and I love having parties at my place and entertaining. I suppose I do not like the uppity attitude and I know you know, what I'm talking about. It's sickening!

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Xmichra, I always think of something else to say, once I've published my comment, ha! but I think it's like H.S. games, who's in and who's accepted. I never played those games and actually loathe that behavior. I do think there's more to it. It may buffer their ego to get comments and not respond. I'd spit in their egotistical faces, if I met them. It pisses me off, the arrogance and I can say what the fuck I want on my blog, right? I also feel it is my duty in life, to call people on their bullshit, where ever and whenever possible.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

X, it's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it...lol!

Sterculian Rhetoric said...

"...like we're in High School..."

A collection of seventh grade wank-circles at reccess IS the blog world.

"...your bullshit is transparent...."

'Bullshit' may be thus, but 'Sterculian Rhetoric' is one opaque cunt. Sterculian Rhetoric = Bullshit, literally. I know as I am its celator.

Is your post a result of my tardiness? I have yet to forward a two dimensional representation of my visage to you. I am trying but I keep dropping the camera into the toilet when I try to capture my essence.

Anonymous said...

Do not be too hard on these masters of the new Internet cliques. In real life they were most likely the weird ones, forever banished to the periphery of the all important teens/twenties social circles. The anonymity of the Internet affords them the opportunity to claim their time as a sought after personage.
Pity and empathy should be expressed for those that do not excell in either medium.

Eyebee said...

I think it kinda depends on your relationship with the commenter.

(Is that a word?)

I also think it depends on the comment. Sometimes a comment warrants another comment, like if re-enforcing an opinion, or disagreeing.

I don't think we always need to comment back to every comment though, or it just gets too noisy.

Also, on my blogs, I try to respond to comments when I can, and when it's warranted, but sometimes I get snowed under, and can be rather tardy with responses.

Eyebee said...

I think blogging and particularly commenting is all part of the social networking - this 2.0 thing. I love it myself.

It's always good to interact with other people, and make new friends.

OK, so a few turn out to be fucking assholes too, but hey! that's life isn't it?

BTW, I hate the my-shit-don't-stink types. I know some folks find that difficult to believe after they've met me and find that mine smells of honeysuckle, but there ya go.

It's all good fun, or it darn well should be.

Have a good day ya'll, it's only freaking Monday.

Eyebee said...

I'm being a commentwhore now.

Blogs are Wank-circles? Never thought of it like that. Where are they? Can I join one? Just for the purposes of research, you understand.

Seriously, though, as for big blogs, heck I wish I had one!

I'd love to sit here writing crap and bullshit all day, and make pot of cash in advertising revenue.

My ambition in life is to be a professional beach bum, but I need the money rolling in first.

If only the brain dead numptie twat spammers would go check out some of my wonderful sponsors, instead of leaving me comments to get another dick extension (I've had three already), or buy some viagra to make it work anyway, then I could be rolling in it.

Gina said...

Better late than never, but I made it a practice to nevah link to any of the holier-than-crowd, simply because I hate kissing ass in person or via wire. There are times when I want to blog but because of saving the world and other shit that I do it often gets pushed to the back burner...I have my original blog, which I am a proud DB charter member and then there is the kinder gentler condenced blog...devoted to reminding the world what a pain in the ass my kids are. Alas, my time is not my own, but anyone that visits is guaranteed to get a call back. That is basic consideration!

SR, somehow, I believe you.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

SR, "celator" as in the coin? Or is there another meaning, oh Wizard, Master of mine?

DirtyBitchSociety said...

SR, and and and and, are you basically agreeing w/me...foe or friend?

DirtyBitchSociety said...

VD, no it's not about that. But I am rather hurt and it may be sub-conscientious? I mean, I keep checking my mail, every 10 minutes. I came home, from work, lied to my boss, in the middle of a mission and told them, I had to change my clothes because I had an accident, just so I could check my email and my mailbox. I mean, do you realize, how stupid I look saying I had an accident, just so I can check my email? But I know patience is a virtue. It has eluded me and now I have a drinking problem because of it. I think I might start a crime spree, just to take my mind off of it. I'm a mess. Can you see this?

DirtyBitchSociety said...

VD, in regard to your second comment. Damn, I think you've hit the donkey in the ass. (I just made that up)But it's all about power and control of the only thing they can exhibit power and control over. This is a whole study in behavior, worthy of a University study. Damn VD, I think we're on to something, huh? I do concur Doctor Dentata!

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Doctor Dentata, shall we call our dissertation, "The Nature and Exhibition of Power and Control in Internet Anonymity"?

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Eyebee #1, I think they're are a lot of variables but the chief or primary situation is, if you select the option to have comments on your post and people comment, why did they comment? They most likely left notation to affirm or validate what you've written. They may have left a commentary statement but either way, if I speak to you on the street or I email you, is it not, just plain ol' common courtesy to email/comment back? I mean, it doesn't have to be anything brilliant or a written essay but a simple, "Hey thanks for the comment," or "Fuck off you annoying bug bastard," will be sufficient.

Sterculian Rhetoric said...

Doctor Dentata?

I rather like that.
I choose to wallow in the bliss of anonymity myself.
Celator is a 'minter of coins' hence I 'coined the phrase.
I agree with you and you be my friend, I hope.
Doctor Dentata can take her deep philosophy and shove it up her alum coated quim.

You are very correct, at least as I see it. Power politics from the heretofore powerless and with all the inexperience at wielding it. It is a large game of Popularity as measured by comment numbers, site hits(The only reason I can think of to possess a Site Meter) and 'stealing' commenters/toadying sycophants from others. Their entire self image rests on these statistics.
I write shite to keep from smoking opium when I am 'working' at my real job.
Bilious writes to garner women with whom he can swap gametes. The Casanovan Cunt.

Think of the real life power brokers when they realise their 'power' does not exist on the net? That has to hurt, innit?

joy said...

Now I feel in trouble. I've been a bad blog friend of late. I was just going down my list of friends and favorites, and thought I'd stop by and say hello, and now I think I might be on the shit list. That's scary for a codependent-attention seeking-hosebag like me. A thousand apologies!

Eyebee said...

Dirty Bitch, I see your point, and I usually do reply to comments, unless they've run their course, of course!

If I've ever not replied to any of yours on my blogs, it's coz they've slipped thru the net (excuse the pun) so as to speak!

Jonathan said...

You know what I can't stand about you, DBS? You hold too much back, never stating what's on your mind, trying to sugarcoat things. You need to feel freer to speak from your heart.

Pfffffffff-bwhahahahahahaha! Damn, and I almost got through it without laughing!

Alright, m'lady, I wouldn't happen t be the knave that has earned your ire, now would I? You don't leave many comments at my blog for me to ignore (which doesn't bother me, since I know politics ain't everyone's cup of tea. Truth be told, your topics are WAAAAYYYY more interesting than mine!). Plus, you're rather difficult to ignore, n'est-ce pas?

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Eyebee #2, I enjoy comment interaction or I wouldn't do it. At times, it has been my saving grace. Fresh outa prison in 2003, blogging was my only interaction w/people short of work.
And I can't stand those that believe they're better than thou. Good thing it's sooooo illegal for me to just taser the hell outa them cause I would.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Eyebee #3, wank circles, hahaha! Gotta love it and it's true. It's a group groping with anonymity thrown in the mix.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Jersey, I knew all that and you are loved. You've got a butt load on your plate and am always glad to hear from you. It makes me appreciate you even more, darlin!

DirtyBitchSociety said...

SR, I knew enough that it had something to do w/fabrication of a coin or so I thought but I like that reference...to coin a phrase. Anonymity is bliss of course, when you want to do a drive-by, is it not? I wear all black for those episodes.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

VD, I somehow suspected vampiress, as I like to be called. Alas, I shall await the rendering. Waiting with baited breath, well it could be I need to floss, huh?

DirtyBitchSociety said...

VD, brown with a string, sounds like an old tampon to me? Now, i want you two to behave or I WILL stop this car.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

VD, your next comment is nothing short of genius. It is certainly about the politics. I'm no Michelle Malkin, nor would I want to be but I can surely recognize an asshole or group of them, when I smell it. I have no time for out and out pretentiousness. I've dined with them, lived it and ran like hell.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

The Junky's Wife, you are not my target darlin. First and foremost; I am one of the most observant bitches out there. I can not attest to too much more than that but I do know the nature and more than people would suspect. I may even have a dumb look on my face but do not let that fool you. My observation, is that your blog is more to get the word out, it's not so much a social blog but a vent and understanding. Every now and then, we see you, the woman and not the wizard behind the curtain. I have never expected it. But I am glad you are here as a friend and know you are always welcome.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Eyebee, You are not my target either. I must seem damning but I was pissed and tired of it. This is not the first time, I'd written about it. I am or can be passive-aggressive. I'll hold things in and then I blow. I am the kind of woman, who will say, only what I mean. I tire of the games but you are not anything but a wonderful friend. Now, you and Kathy come on over and let's BBQ, ok?

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Jonathan, my young stud lover (wishful thinking, I can do that and watch, you can't erase it hahahaha) Darling no, you are not by any means who or the type I was addressing. I do sugarcoat things because I wanted to cuss and kick. I am reformed now, lol!

I have the utmost respect for you and your blog. But I must admit, it is a bit over my head. That was actually hard to even write but it's true. You have me at a distinct advantage as I do not follow politics. It is another frustration for me. I have seen so much and how the game has been played. Thus, I walked away, unscathed. So, I am not in tune or really up to date on anything.
If anybody has been bad, I have as you've visited me more than I've visited you, well commented anyway.I guess it comes down to, if I don't know what I'm talking about, I try to keep my fat mouth shut. Did I tell you that you own my heart?

Eyebee said...

I follow politics to know that the world over they are almost all self-centered egotistical wankers.

Jonathan said...

I have the utmost respect for you and your blog.

Thank you. :-)

But I must admit, it is a bit over my head. That was actually hard to even write but it's true. You have me at a distinct advantage as I do not follow politics. It is another frustration for me. I have seen so much and how the game has been played. Thus, I walked away, unscathed. So, I am not in tune or really up to date on anything.

I don't blame you. I wish I could ignore politics, since it can be damned frustrating so often. Alas, I have a passion for writing about it, and I can't shake it. Well, I can "shake it", but not politically speaking. :-p

Eyebee said...

BBQ! Always a GOOD IDEA!

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Eyebee, it is clearly a game. I think many come into the game as well wishers but leave tainted and jaded. Or they join forces and play the game to get what they want. But you are right, or at least that's my perception...wankers.

Chris said...

DB, your so right in what you say, I always try to comment on peoples blogs and I like to reply to the people on my blog, I like to make people feel welcome, and you always are at my blog. :)

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Jonathan, well it takes a level head to make headway in politics. Just to understand how it works is far more than a history lesson concerning the branches of Government. There are things they do not teach in school, you must see them with your own eyes.I have little interest because I feel my hands are tied. I have some issues that are important to me and I get bulletins about them but as a whole, yes, I am but a girl. At the same time, as I said, I have seen the politics in and around states and state law. I am flabbergasted by the lies and deceit. Now, I could tell you some stories about politics but it will all be coming out, in my book, next year. For sure.(That was called a teaser)

OK, I'll bring some thick slabs of meat....

Eyebee said...

Well said DB, about the politicians, you summed it up so well in a few words. I'm sure some start out with good intentions, but end up corrupted by the partisan system we have in place everywhere in the world.

Michelle Malkin is an evil, evil woman. Worse than Ann Coulter, as she is not a parody of herself like Ann is.

Webmiztris said...

i feel shitty when I don't respond to comments. the only time I don't is when I'm too busy to do so, but it's rare. and even THEN, I visit/comment to everyone who comments on my blog, so it's all fair.

Eyebee, yes, where's the beef. I meant potato salad before, I don't know what the hell I wrote?

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Eyebee, I do believe it is always a fight between good and evil, even in the political arena. The problem is, they must all get their hands dirty to some degree, just to get anything done. The outcome, quite often is, they stay dirty.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

VD, but of course she is and a political monger.
A snarl, a sneer, a whip that stings, these are a few of my favorite things...

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Webmiztris, I consider you one of the very best in bloggers. You post regularly, you 9 times out of ten comment back to every comment. I am close enough to know, when you are not busy, you will comment. This, of course was not addressed to you. You know the kind I'm talking about.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Beast, I do believe you've answered my comments, so this does not pertain to you.But I'm sure you've seen it before and the little cliches that go around. I never was one to work at being popular and am secure in myself, that I basically don't give a fuck, ya know? But when truth stares you in the face and the cards are on the table, I will be the first to run my big mouth!


Hey, I heard that, hahaha!!

Whew. I feel better now!

Xmichra said...

wow. you got everyone worried I see :)

Isn't that hillarious, when you post something about a particular person and everyone coes rushing in thinking it's them?? Like mother used to say.. a guilty conscious is easy to spot...

ROFL!!....

Old Knudsen said...

Well I answer most of my comments which is tough as I post so fast and people comment on old posts, and comments like "I agree" or "yuck!" are very hard to answer and a bit unnecessary. Some folks like to have whole conversations in the comments which annoys me as etiquette would dictate an e-mail rather than a comment box. Then theres the hangovers, you have 23 comments and can only think of 2 funny things to say to 2 of them and can't be arsed. New people commenting should always get a welcome of sorts. I have over 80 links and dial up so I hope when I comment people feel blessed as my shit does not stink, no really its a medical condition.

Old Knudsen said...

No need to answer me, but I hate comment moderation, maybe if you have a pest and you aren't very witty but I feel its like begging for yer comment to be posted, a wee power trip from the Blog owner.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Old Knudsen, you've been a good blogger, if I had to rate someone and especially using slow ass dial-up (beats a blank). But I know what you mean. It's not always easy to comment back if it is not based on wit or interplay.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Old Knudsen, I agree about welcoming a new commenter, too. Most of this is just plain ol common courtesy. maybe their Mama's need slapped, first and then them?

No, I find that if they moderate comments, I'm less likely to go back to them and wait for an answer or whatever. I suppose if you've been buggered, you have to. But if not, I do have to question the motive.

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Xmichra, your comment eluded me but...I do have an accusatory way about myself. I was a bit pissed, huh? But it's how things change, when we get pissed off enough to say something...even if it's one person, right?

Xmichra said...

right :)

DirtyBitchSociety said...

Xmichra, I'm glad you and I see things rather similar. believe it or not?
