Paying attention
but it has gone too far. It all in the way you look at things and I laugh at it. I will post and make fun of it to bring some light to all this so called "negativity". But come on, people are complaining over nothing to make something. Grow up everyone and move on life is too short to stink up the joint.

Miss Julia
First of all a very big congratulations to you! And 2nd, this is very sad to hear....still bickering and fighting to the degree that it makes folks want to up and leave before they have even begun the journey. Makes me wonder if I made a wise choice returning:-) We'll see. I have missed you...............pam

this site isn't for the faint of heart
but then on the other, neither is planet earth...I would think that even the most closeted, introverted, confidence-less waste of humanity could deal with the minimal social pressures of banging on the keyboard for a few minutes each day and clicking submit. 

On the other hand Blogit's fairly unique in the insanity it manages to create from implementing a pay-per-click system among its own users.  makes me think someone is fucking with us...

...this is place to stretch and grow... sometimes in tolerance... or
learning to stand up and fight back... the public arena reveals your weak areas... where you need challenge growth and strength gained....

Maybe only newbies leave. The old ones keep returning.

Instead of Starting A War
when you don't agree with a comment just ignore it and then there are no wars.  If  you do not add fuel to the fire then the flames die down

Well, I can understand if someone thinks I'm crazy. I've gotten used to it.

too bad
i don't pay attention to the bullshit - and i am certainly not in it for the money because i am not that popular.  but she should have given it s chance - i like reading everyone - even the person that blocked me.  if they don't like me too bad - just read someone else.  i made almost $2.00 my first month!!

Very that is unfortunate because there are many gifted writers here. There was one who started writing in fiction and he was really good. He emailed me to say he was leaving not because of other peoples writing, but because he had only made .19 cent in a week. When I wrote him back I ask him to stay because no matter how good you think you are there is still a lot to be learned from other's...

I agree. Blogit isn't much fun when no one is laughing.
But... that's just my opinion.  Others will disagree with me for their own laughs.  LOL

Julia., that is embarrassing. I don't blame her, either.
I told someone yesterday, who I had recommended to join Blogit, not to bother because the atmosphere was so toxic here.  I'm only hoping that instead of your hanky that you'd written about earlier, you've gotten a gas mask.  It's gotten thick.
