What's with the cheap point scoring these days?
I used to love to read everyone's weblogs, and thought that the reply option was a fantastic idea. It does not matter if it's flippant remarks or a serious point – I love to read the responses people feel after reading a log.
I've not joined in the whole 'terrorism' theme – don't really feel qualified to. You see, I am still learning (even from you guys!) forming my opinions; and if I'm completely honest, I don't really like the opinions I'm forming. Maybe, I'm not as liberal as I thought I once was. I don't like the feelings stirring up inside of me, I'm nodding and agreeing with schools of thought that previously I wouldn't, I'm surprising myself.
Apologies – crap paragraph above. I thought I'd leave it there, makes sense to me. DON'T need the grammar police thank you very much!
Oh yeah, my point. Is it just me or is this whole place much more hostile in the past few weeks?

Nature of the beast darling girl...this is one of those topics that is too personal & too close to home for many, many people. It therefore follows that dispassionate thoughts are few and far between.
It's also nature of the beast that arguing about arguing breeds arguing...etc etc as Grasshopper would say love kikki xxxxx kikki{MM} "Callipygian ideal" according to MM. | |

Yes, I've not been here long, but I've noticed a change in the blogs and postings I've read, since the first London bombings. In fairness there have been some pretty controversial postings, but also some hostile and robust responses. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars | |

Hmmm, The logs here used to be a melting pot of private thoughts from a wide range of people who wrote on a daily basis. The logs here used to be more intense. They were insights to people's true life situations, dilemas. Their suffering...their plights, their achievments, hopes and aspirations. Some were really interesting to read...I miss the people who have slipped into the shadows because they were chastised or ridiculed after jotting. I used to follow people's relationships.... or their journey to find one. Here was a place where people could run things through their minds on a blank canvas. ...I have defended the right for people to block responses to their own jottings, as I do from time to time, without being goaded. The writing here now is more like common discussion, rather than platforms with delicate cushions of heartfelt thoughts..... real-life diaries. I do respond to other people's logs from time to time now, but more to empathise than critisise. I try now to respect other people's space. For example....I would not dream of cutting and pasting parts of a person's log in the way I see at times....it's so vulgar. We should try to leave the deep thinkers alone...respect their space and opinion. ...Some people have no one to talk to face to face........lucky those who do. ....It can be theraputic to tap at the keys, and that effort should be respected...unless opinion is invited.. ...as I believe your weblog did.
