Do As I Say

If you head on over to Rebecca Jaffarian's blog you'd see a timely entry that has evolved into a few discussions. It started off as a not-so-subtle warning about personal attacks and how they are a no-no. Now, I've totally got RJ's back on the fact that it is HER blog and she can do what SHE wants with it. You all have the right to free speech but she has the right not to post it on her site. But sure it can rile up a few feathers when she calls someone out about personal attacks and uses some little jabby jabs of her own. And yes, she did. Again, why should she care if you don't like it though.

Get into the comments and there's a nice discussion on coffee - like the real coffee drink, not Ms. Coffee of the 3rd Ward. And then a totally understandable segway into some soft core blog bashing. I find it highly amusing that a blog that started by coming down on personal attacks is approving comments that are on the fringe of them. And again, you don't like it, so what, she don't care (<-- and what song was this adapted from?).

OK seriously, my interpretation of the RJ decree is that if someone comments on her blog and then you come along and make fun of that commentor or say something bad about the commentor, she won't publish it. No back and forth pushing like a playground fight. How the first jab is allowed to get thrown -or at least what I consider to be a jab, I guess she doesn't though- is up to her. That's why I don't like comment moderation, when you approve the comment some people will think you approve OF the comment. Especially when it is a comment that, oh I don't know, could kind of, maybe, possibly appear to go against your own rules from on high. It happens all over the place but here was just an example from today's comments. But let it be known that I know she can do what she wants as it is her blog and if that reason isn't good enough for the rest us, well, toughsies. Right?

Rebecca of SunnyBrook Farm is about as boring as it is possible to be.

Her Blog, should I say Blub is sinking faster than cheap soap in a bathtub. Democrats are perfect, she is perfect, and the Town of Greece will be a wonderful land of free lunches when the UAW and Greece Teachers run the show.

What's next from Rebecca, a coverup of the people still suffering gastro upset from eating Meloni's Chili in a park not equipped with sufficient toilets for a ChiliFest?

Stop picking on RJ. Of these 3 blogs her's is the best written, most indepth and most informative. You and SCATS are rank amateurs that could only dream of making it to her level.

Where the cesspool flows is a level? What's got her panties all in a twist anyway?

That 1st comment sounds like one that would be left on RJs blog about any other blog - those are the types of comment they love to leave. So how can anyone over there take offense from it?

sorry but her blog is not well written. her style reads like a transcript from a bad radio show.

Golly gee! Now there's TWO BLOGS dedicated to talking about me!? I'm not used to all this attention! It could go to my head!!

You'll have to excuse me now, but I need to skedaddle and get my whiskers trimmed and take a quick flea dip. I want to be all groomed and ready for "the big reveal."

PS ~~ Is that more of that "model-speak"?

this is so funny 1st the republicans were out to get her and then it was a bunch of stalkers. then to make it sound like there could not possibly be that many people disagreeing with her all the stalkers were rolled into one and one who is not an auberger supporter to boot. what acccusation will befall the next individual who dares disagree?

hmmm. It is hard to tell if people have an ax to grind with the blogger, her message, or the way she delivers it.

Can't we all get some tea and cookies just like our stuporvisor and his actor friends. Strike that pose around the kitchen table and everything will be okay. It's greece after all everything is just great.

LeRouge: I think you blog sums it up. It is the hypocrisy. As per the D&C former blog the change at all cost was apparent with the clean sweep support, no matter if there was factual/real valid reason for removing all incumbents. To replace one party controlled government with another is not the answer and, when posed with that very notion all hell broke loose on the Trimmer post. The blogged major pro of Trimmer was she was going to have online payment of Dog lic, and such. Really is that a dire issue in Greece? Also I am not a Helfer supporter but when I so pointed out that he does in fact LIVE in the 3rd ward I was edited. But one fellow poster indicated that he may have purchased a house but did not live there. The same blogger that had no clue who Firkins was, and a week later was lambasting her for the fact her husband was doing tile work for the town. I mean really all "in the know" but don't know the players of the game? Makes me question how a political opinion could be formed with any credibility. And the fact that Maloney is a follower on her blog makes me question his ability to seriously recognize what Greece needs, it is one thing not to pass judgment on a blogging constituent but to follow her seems...well unprofessional.

Sorry so long Coffee.

Well we certainly need a clean sweep of the rubber stamp government we have in Greece. I have never seen any TB member raise a voice against anything Johnny proposes.

They are all "auberger men (sic)" not our representatives

1:17 All DEM board Dem Supv, equals stamp with a donkey on it. Is that REAL change? Coffee

LeRogueBlogger said...

Can a mixed board accomplish anything?

LeRogueBlogger said...

Oh and to add a comment re: coffee's 12:40

If I was Maloney I wouldn't publicly follow any blog, I would create a different username to do that. You never know what turn the blog could take and then he might be associated with it. Is there any confirmation that that is really him following and no a made up profile with his campaign picture on it?

To LRB ~~ Maloney has links to both her BLOG and SCATS BLOG on his candidates web page. I think that was what Coffee was referring to by "following. "

This may be RJ incognito( seems like it is a huate coture model?) at the WGMC studios...is the boy she singing about Johnny boy?

LeRogueBlogger said...

See now Scats that implies even more of an endorsement from him than "following" on Blogger. But a profile of him is indeed a "follower" on Blogger too.

6:29 - If it was the "poker face" song I think she would approve of the comparison!
