This bums me out. We talk/write so much about how supportive the blogging community is, and then it turns out to be not that far removed from middle school.

I really have no clue what is going on, but OMG did that sound like high school. As adults, can we not just cut the drama? I’m sorry you’re dealing with shit. I know it’s never simple or straight forward, and even if you were to clue us in on what happened it wouldn’t be the whole story. I hope you’ll not let it stifle you further, though, that’s like letting the terrorists win.

All Aboard! I am on the CTS train and I don’t have a clue what the hell you are talking about either. One way I CTS is that I stay away from twitter. So much gets clique-y and quickly and everyone on the sidelines feels unheard. I hate unheard. If I want to be ignored I will talk to my kids.

I am not a blogger, I am not a writer, I am not a gossiper about people I don’t know. I suffer from depression, low self esteem and children who sometimes drive me nuts. I am a mom, who was looking for other moms to connect with via twitter. Some of what I saw was cruelty and conniving. I also found some friends and good people. I lurk now and then, but now I read blogs of people that I found with whose writing I connect. You are at the top of that list. I will read whenever you post and please don’t let the drama get you down or make you quit.

I hated high school because of all the bullshit and drama, and blogging seems a lot like that. Some people never grow up and some people always need to pick on others to puff themselves up. I generally stay on the sidelines of the blogging community so I have no idea what’s going on. But there are plenty of people who stay out of the crap and who will be here for you. I love your blog, and I love your writing. And there are tons of us who will keep coming—no matter how infrequently you write!

i found myself not only nodding without realizing it while reading your entire post, but also in reading EVERY SINGLE FUCKING comment.

No need to apologize for rambling. I think life is rather boring without gossip, and we’re all here because, frankly we hate boring. Otherwise we’d be content to sit home in our little glass houses and watch the grass grow.

It’s human nature to enjoy a little gossip and divulge in a little conflict. The part that’s hurtful is the lengths people can, and do, go to in order to make it a little more interesting.

You’re ALWAYS welcome to slum with us trash-mouthed behemoths. Oh, and I mean behemoth is the nicest possible way, of course.

ROFL, Dawg. I wouldn’t mind some boring-ass brown grass for a little. LOL
