04.16The Comment Clause
You know what’s hilarious? People who have blogs with a comments section - then tell you what you’re allowed to say in your comments. I ran across a few, especially in the last few days, that have clauses under which you aren’t allowed to disagree with them or it’s considered ‘flaming’ them. That’s adorable!
You know, I once got banned by some idiot Despair sent me to comment on because I didn’t agree with something she’d blogged about, which I found out from a friend who’d blogged as well. I thought for a second she was kidding and then I went to that site and, low and behold, not only was I ban but she managed to call me all manner of sexy, profane names as well!
I love that kind of site - the kind where the person takes themselves far too seriously, as if anyone gives a damn. I have a note to commenters, too, but mine doesn’t suggest that you can agree with me or leave, it’s there because I know some folks aren’t fans of payperpost, which I am, and I don’t want them to feel the need to comment on a post they can’t identify with. Ooh, I’m a bitch, lol.
At any rate, I felt like ranting about this because Helen was telling me that she just got banned from some dildo’s site for disagreeing with the bloggers views on abortion - basically, all Helen said was ( and I did read the comment, thanks ) that she thinks everyone has the right to choose for themselves, and she can’t understand why someone would lobby to take that right away and harass people who flex that choice. The whole situation’s funny. ![]()

I have never seen a comment page with a clause on it like that, but it shocks me to know that there are some people out there who think that they have the right to tell you what you allowed to have an opinion on.

haha oh dear, those people are precious aren’t they? And they’re normally the ones who whine about never having enough comments as well… stupid internet prudes lol.

Internet Prudes! That’s what I want to call them now, I just call them elitist mattress kittens.
I find that people who are elitist about weird things, like other people’s websites or what kind of comments they recieve are elitist because they’re scared to death that people won’t agree with them and they can’t handle confrontation - kind of like grade school kids with hostility issues, lol.
Thanks for the comments!

Ouch, I can’t believe people would be that stupid and full of themselves. I mean, honestly, who the heck cares if someone from a million miles away happens to disagree with what you’re saying? Whatever, can’t say I’ve ever been banned or commented on a site that has “comment clauses” like that, but now I know to keep an eye out.

Faith,
I was being banned before by some idiot site as well. I really can’t understand these people.
And thanks for commenting on my blogs.
