I had a conversation with one of the bloggers who is now my good friend over the weekend.
Most of the time we will try to not talk about our online activity apart from what was written on our own blog, but occasionally, often unavoidable, we strayed to the topic of what other bloggers, the ones that we don’t bother to know better or to ‘layan’ per se, thinks about us, as a person.
Recently, Naz blogged about how different a blogger’s online persona is compared to the real person, in flesh. I have to agree with that. There were some, not that I have come across many, bloggers who just doesn’t reflect accordingly to how their blogs make them out to be.
I was told that there were some ‘silent readers who are also bloggers’ who seemed to have a real problem with the things I write on MY site. I had those hate emails coming from conservative Muslims and Malays before telling me how my behavior / habits are so going to condemn me to hell, but hey, I am not Islamic, I know THAT fact.
But , as for these bloggers who thought they had more class than everybody else, come on now. What gives?
Sure you could write well in flawless English and whatnots but that doesn’t give you the license to rant on what other people want to put in their blog, even if it’s as distasteful as a tubful of mouldy philly cream cheese. It is afterall, THEIR frikkin’ blog.
In the end, it all looked childishly petty. A bunch of adults, who were still apparently, trying very hard to grow up but failed.
I guess their ‘lavish’ vocabulary make them the snots they are. I doubt that these people are really quite alright in real life. I doubt that I even want to know them in real life. I don’t do snots. I ignore them.
As to what they think about my blog or me as a person? Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn. I have made some real friends from this outlet and I thank my lucky stars that I found them instead of the pretentious little snotters (I DO Know that there are no such word)

babe, it is those who pay too much attention to 'class', 'money' and 'image' who are wannabes and dont really have them!
ReplyDeletei'd like to think i am a WYSIWYG...i emailed Des of my KL itinerary and if you happen to be in town, lets meet up - for a sirap bandung or a bourbon :-)
That is so true! Our blog should be a place of free expressions w/out judgement. Remember when I moderated my comments? One stupid git actually told me that I was showing off with all the pixs that I've put up...sewel ke apa orang tu, jealous semacam, banyak lagi blog lain dia boleh baca!~
ReplyDeleteFor what's it worth, I adore your blog!
I'm sure those people had huge blogger's block. Got nothing nice to write about, so kutuk blogger lain lah.
ReplyDeleteOne semi-private female blogger,let's call her P for Pantek, bitched about me (and some others) in at least 3 blogs.
ReplyDeleteShe then told the girlfriend of B, a male blogger who I've been friends with for some 10 years, that B and I are having an affair.
P doesn't even know who I am. Fortunately, B's gf knows B and I are good friends only.
lol can follow or not?
Some ppl have nothing better to do than to bitch abt other ppl...blogging is about free expression but it's certainly not to be used to spread lies abt other bloggers
ReplyDeletehaha i know who u're talking about. i guess it makes them happy to bash others cos it makes them feel good about themselves (apparently they're nothing actually). other than their oh-so-perfect linguistic competence, i think that's about it. nothing more to them. so bashing others and their blogs feed their sad poor soul. biarkanlah luncai tu semua.
ReplyDeletediaorang takde keja lain la tu.
ReplyDeletejust bloody ignore them.
Ms J,
ReplyDeletewhat is Wysiwyg? i thought that has something to do with websites or something like that...
