Good on 21:00 - because Evelyn has one set of rules for herself, and another for everyone else - she often contradicts herself, and attcks when there is no reason... but to her it's an opinion, when anyone else does it, it's "an inappropriate" comment...... it's getting tired.

********************
I am a politician . I do hold elected office.
It takes precedence over being a bloggist. But not by much. Being a bloggist is a multiple of the same.
Make sense of that if you can. Sometimes words just take possession of me. La di da La di da
Blogging,in historical terms, is new. There aren't any rules. No tried and true
The field is wide open. No centuries of practice. We are all pioneers charting a path.
There goes my ego again pushing me along in the direction I want to go.
Some believe having an ego is a failing. Like being self-effacing is a virtue.
Not in politics my friend.
I do not ascribe to that school of thought.
When attacked ,it's wise to defend oneself. Then the risk becomes "Methinks the lady doth protest too much"
If commenters were required to identify themselves things would be different.The option of self-identification is available. Except for Chris Watts ,few avail themselves.
If comments were reduced ,attacks would also vaporize
Future, possibly current, politician/bloggers may decide discretion is the better part of valour and choose that means of eliminating criticism. ..and concurrently ,the need to defend themselves ...as I do now with relish.
More people enjoy the opportunity for input, than use it to belabor my efforts to communicate.
I will continue to chart this path.
Critics who seek a forum can publish their own blog .... build their own readership.
It's an available option.
Catch me if you can
My, your critics are strident these days. I know about the defeat of the s-e designation & the Heritage Park. but that shock should have been over by now. Is there something else going on that we do not know about that would account for the vitriol ?
ReplyDeleteTalk about tiring. There is no requirement to read the Blog. Don't like it; don't read it. It's like going into someone's house & telling them you don't like the furniture arrangements.
ReplyDeleteIt's nothing like that, 17:54. What's more public than the Internet?
ReplyDelete20:51- Evelyn's blog doesn't come to my front door like the Error does. I have to go to the blog. And that's what its about!
ReplyDeleteHey, 20:51
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely morning. Why don't you check out the 2 listings on Tyler for over 600 grand each & figure out how you can designate them & prevent the sales ? Hee, hee !
None of 10:42's apply - so, no, not a draw.
