WTF
Posted On: 04/18/2009 14:11:46

What are these website things, that are posing as blogs? I open up the blog page and a lot of recent blogs are pushed back to another page, someones story, someone who might be reaching out for help is being covered up by an apparent advertisement, or something. Maybe I'm out of line here, if I am just let me know and I'll shut up.

blog 

1998, short for weblog (which is attested from 1994, though not in the sense 'online journal'), from (World Wide) Web + log. Joe Bloggs (c.1969) was British slang for "any hypothetical person" (cf. U.S. equivalent Joe Blow).

   Bob, I'm kinda new to all of this, but if I have said or done anything to offend or harm anyone, I apologize. I believe a blog is just another place for someone to spill their guts. Let me put it like this. I have people I know from all over the world that send me those "Send it to the next 10 people you know and then back to me if you "REALLY" love the Lord" Is that an advertisment. Or if someone is offering their services for a fee or anything along thosae lines, I look at all of it as expression.

   Some might not know better, but who are we to judge anyone's words? Maybe but whatever they are saying on this place set aside for "BLOGS" is what is helping them. Hey, I say, whatever makes it work for you. I have too big a beam in my own eye to c oncern myself with the specks of others. Bob777, write me and let me know what's stuck in your craw, maybe it will all end in us saying His grace is sufficient for us, for His strength is made perfect in my weakness. If a BLOG is a chronology of thoughts, who are we to say what others should think.? What say you brother. Oh, by the way, love your transparency, awesome dude, thourough.   Peace    <   OldSchool777

Thanks Dennis,


I was wondering if there wasn't maybe another way for someone to post websites. Like maybe the resources section of this site, now I know. Hope this finds you well. Hugs, your friend, Bob


Bob -




     You ain't out of line. Whlie there are members that post links here - they are members sharing what they hope os help for others. Then there are commercial entities that decide to create a profile and post forum entries and blogs for whatever they are selling - usually some recovery center or intervention service. When I see the ones that are operating in a commercial mode, I send them a polite note thanking them for sharing  - then asking them to share elsewhere. Like Arcturus or the Greater Magellanic Cloud. If they persist, I let Admin know.




     Those of us that have recovery links we'd like to share, just start a forum entry under general recovery called "Recovery Links" or something descriptive. put what you find in there with a short note on things you found useful there. That way the ES&H blogs don't get pushed too far back in the stack.




     Me, I do enjoy the occasional spammer - it allows me to take advantage of a creative writing course I took eons ago. It permits me to call someone an obtrusive a**hole without racking up an an amend for crude language...




YF,




Dennis
