I think it's nice that some members choose to respond to everyone.

Most of us are here for the social interaction.


I was just feeling a little funny about liking being responded to,

even if I didn't feel my contribution warranted to reply.



I process a lot of those little discomforts with humor.
Hi Ocee,

It's nice when people do respond but it's not the end of the world if they ignore you either!laugh

What I find confusing is when there are so many responders on one blog and the poster is trying to keep up with about 30 conversations and questions etc. I mean, it must take half a day to reply to them all. So in that respect, popularity on the blogs must be a pain in the neck for some!
Hey, people give you odd looks if you talk to yourself. I still don't understand why anyone would post a blog without allowing comments, to me the comments are the fun bit, the conversation!

May I have my participation trophy now please? laugh
i want a trophy also please laugh tongue
Respond to me. Respond to me. Oh pleeeeez respond to me. applause
thumbs up laugh wave Good one as always.
seems your a little slow in handing them out roll eyes
or let me guess, your busy polishing your own dunno
Hi Seagrit,


There is no way I'd be able to pull that off for long.

I'm not even half the social. giggle
Hi Biff,


I think some people do participate just to be heard, without really caring to listen to the input of others. I'm guilty of that a lot in the forums. I drop a comment and leave the thread.

There was relevant Owl gif floating around recently.
Hi Mjpd,


You get a nice lady shaped trophy, suitable for marriage.

Don't skimp on the upkeep now.
Hi Kaybee,


I'll always respond to you. hug


I'm very happy with your good news today.
Hi Pedal,


Yea, some people find me tolerable to half amusing when I'm not excoriating people.


wave
Hi Itchy,


I was doing a little maintenance on my uhhh, ermmm... trophy.

Just a little polishing, not at all for fun mind you.

Sorry for the delay.




wink
I little "Hi" would survive for me blushing I don't like to accumulate stuff - I like it ZEN.
And who is the name that gonna get that trophy?

cool
Hi Bali,


Zen it is...hug
Hi Lavina,


Everyone who wants one gets a trophy for showing up.

We call them participation trophies

It's a thing we do here.


I'm not sure how widespread the practice has become other places though.

dunno
Doesn't look like anyone is going to win a set of steaks knives here. mumbling
Hi KNenagh,


I wouldn't feel right, handing out sharp objects here.

laugh
There are now two types of blogs - the ones that are the final word on the subject and if you really want to talk about it, go start your own blog talk to hand

blah

and the ones that attract all the weirdos who for whatever peculiar reason like talking

conversing

Ones that offer participation trophies, oh MY. My first trophy got lost in the post. sad









bumped grin
Hi Biff.


I think conversation is probably the highest and best use of this space.


There are some clever people here, but we're not likely to solve world hunger.


...and we sure ain't making any progress on world peace.laugh
We could practice Make love, not war cool
oh Baby, you’re not giving me that much of a choice, huh?
Bo, you are like the love guru on here wink
Well then, what are we waiting for?
You have to share it widely first.
Sharing love is necessary in the world today teddybear
sounds like an welcome to the dark side...laugh




Ocee, wave cheers
Hey, it's the weekend...time for the dark side cool


Hi Ochug
Like a third wheel in my own blog.


Hi Molly and Bogart. wave


laugh
where do I pick up my trophy?......dunno
When you've been here a long time it's more than trophies, its keeping in touch, common curtsey with others who have been here long time.

Some people go to Starbucks grin for chats, others come to blogs peace
I was thinking about opening a blog about something that bothered me the other day and then I remembered reading here that you should reply to everyone who responds or that you should not keep your blog closed (not allowing comments) so I gave up and decided to stick to forums for the time being. There's no such pressure there. You can reply if you feel like it and don't have to if you lose interest in the thread.
