Am I seeing things wrongly?

Is it me, or are all the personal attacks on people here on the blogs reducing the blog activity by people? If so, what a great way of trying to make a meaningful connection with somebody....encourage them not to return. doh

Hi Johnny, I am sure that is part of the reason, who wants to come on here and be attacked personally. But it ia always good to see you herethere are other reasons too, I have cut back on coming on here lately and it is not for attacks on me it is I have more of a life than CS blog's.

I have and I am sure you have to, blog's kind of go dead, but they will pick back up. I am seeing new people here, could be people coming over from forums not sure.

Johnny, it is always good to see you here. cheers
Hi Johnny, I come and go as I please. Many other great things on C.S., Movies, Books, Poetry, Forums, and of course Dating site. Yes, people have left because of faceless trolling,and the incessant reinventing of same with new profiles. Ignore them and they have nothing to feed off. wave
Maybe I am stupid but I seldom see any personal attacks on the blogs. The blogs just get a bit boring at times. It happens often that there are not a single blog I can comment on. I sometimes like hanging out here but sometimes it is more enjoyable to play card games than reading through one blog after another that I can't relate to. It is not the bloggers fault as to them maybe what they are sharing is important to them. It just not interest me. Think others feel the same at times.
GG,

That is nice you feel that you have that ability to come as you please. I feel the same way.

Good advice with ignoring them. But, it is tough when these negative people have had enough experience with their negative craft, and now exactly where to cut.

Ek,

You are right, I have noticed that as well...the busy/slow times here on the blogs. Maybe this is just a slow period...but it comes after a time of some very negative, and I would label abusive, interactions on here.

wave
Regular blog posters have been inactive for a while now, so it will effect the blogs and it will reduce the content being created.

Has it ever been this quiet though? Maybe their are too many other social networking sites to choose from, but I doubt many others like free speech and I bet they also run by snowflakes
Lee, the only snowflakes I know of are the ones falling from the sky outside right now. It is cold enough for that still...unfortunately.

What exactly is a snowflake in the context you are using it?
Hardly any women on this site now and it is a funny thing to watch so many men chasing after, just one or tworolling on the floor laughing

One tickles my fancy, but too many other men, are on the prowl for her bodyrolling on the floor laughing
Lee,

Hardly any women here, or men....not that I am seeking a man, but the more here, the more possibilities for matches to be made. In other words, it takes a population of both genders to attract more participants.
Lee,

I live in an area that don't have a large population. The town I live in has about 150 people or so that live here. It is just a few smaller towns around my area. So, I am not aware or have seen too many people from my area on here.
Johnny,wave

I promised myself to post only one blog a month. Maximum 2, but I try to stick to one.

Not because of any outside forces, but my own personal decision. Too much of anything is good for nothing, they say.laugh
Lee,

In regards of you knowing of people not being honest on this site, that would be a good time to present your information to the moderators. Maybe they could step in and make things right. As a participate on the blogs only, I am not sure it is my duty to place public judgments/announcements on the blogs that personally attack members here. I suppose that is only my viewpoint.
Hello Usha,

I have heard that said myself, too. Maybe that is the issue here...people just don't want to over do it. ....it will eventually wear down the sensation of it all. laugh

wave
But Johnny, blogs must go on. So don't try to copy me.tongue
That is not very fair Usha, you taking advantage of another's work. tongue

Does your philosophy (not overdoing it) work on a dating site? laugh
I am under doing when it comes to dating. I am forever single, but I only feel it when I log in here.laugh

Otherwise my life is kind of happily ever after.laugh
Merc,

I do recall.

That was between you and her. That was my take on it. If there were any violations against you, you should have brought that up with the moderators. ....in my opinion.

I do appreciate your comments.

wave
Merc, I never saw the blog or her comments, so I can't defend you or oppose you.

I can only comment on what I see in front of my eyes....you have seen the attacks I have had and how I dealt with them...You see the blog I have up about troll and it's a good readthumbs up
A shame Usha...this site makes you feel that way. I suppose you joined this dating site to stay single...that makes sense. tongue laugh

I do hope life does provide you happiness. grin
Hi Johnny wave

To tell you the truth..I've been a bit put off lately and can't really find any interesting blog to comment on where one can have some decent conversations.

And some blogs I keep away from for various reasons.

As for writing blogs...I have plenty in store but...finding the right time to post it is the question???uh oh

Lots of new people here...new avatars...fly by night ...I can't really be bothered to comment on.
I see these attacks by the same people! When they are found out, they change their name and come back on and attack under the new name. What is interesting, even if they come back under a new name, they write the same so it isn't to hard to pick them out!thumbs up
Merc, You do have a block button and you have preference settings, so you can prevent, the one's you don't want to mail you, from mailing you
Merc,

Thank you. I appreciate your perspective and you know mine.

wave
Oh yes Johnny this Aussie knows your perspective more than you will ever know.

You just keep turning a blind eye it's no skin off my nose.
Hello Daniela,

I feel the same as you. My time has been somewhat limited here...you have had some very interesting blogs I wish I had some time to comment on. Maybe in the next day or so I will revisit them. thumbs up

You are right to avoid certain blogs you do not feel comfortable with.

Thanks Daniela, I find you a real asset here on the blogs.

wave
Okay all, I have a bit of work to do...and will make sure I comment on all comments. Thank you all very much.

JS... I think maybe I see this site’s intended purpose as different from how most other singles might view it. Regardless, it certainly doesn’t forgive trolls, or anything negative, especially the personally attacks.
These are my opinions.... CS is a social media web site that includes married and single people, otherwise, why have a ‘marital status’ in our profiles. Instead of charging user fees, CS brilliantly charges advertisers for monies but needs volumes of people visiting the site to make it worthwhile.
‘Connecting Singles’ is the catch phrase that draws us in. How popular would a web site named ‘connecting married’ be. There is so much to do on here that isn’t date related. It’s a good site, well laid out imo. Other dating sites advertise here too.

Anyways.... wave
Thanks Johnny..blushing

I was wondering why I hadn't seen you on some of my blogs because I know they were topics you've always been interested in.

Anyway...look forward to reading your views.thumbs up
I think it comes and goes lately is a bit boring to serious some people
Leecharming ~ Well said.thumbs up
That's a bit rich coming from you, Lee. I often make comments on your posts but your response invariably leaves me feeling that they are unwelcome.
LeeCharming I totally agree in regards to cliques being on websites and I've seen a lot of them on other sites in my day on the internet.
H, Most of your posts are attacks on me, have nothing to do with the subject topic and you leave most, with egg on your facetongue

Can you comment on the thread subject, without bringing others into your postsconfused
Yes, Lee, you manage to outwit me every time. Curses!
LeeCharming I had people in 1999 when I was on a Native American site and some others that there were not cliques.
Yes right I didn't fall for that nonsense.I didn't experience too many trolls but the rest of those kinds of sites were very negative on how they had moderated.
Bear, I admit, that I do have a few I like on here and will post on their blogs, without any conflict frpom them...I will comment on subject I am interested in regardless of the creator, unless I know them to be a troll
At any given point my CS blogger
perceptions may change.grin
I have observed two people going at it and
lo' and behold THEY were enjoying it! rolling on the floor laughing

Eventually you get comfortable as a bystander.Teasing,taunting...
