Why I’m Leaving BlogCatalog
Monday, September 1st, 2008
For the four of you who even know what Blog Catalog is, I just wanted to say that I’ve asked for the admin to delete my account. The place is filled with some really intelligent and very nice people but unfortunately there are a few (markstoneman, ender) who love to moderate what bloggers discuss and then cry to the admins when one sticks up for their own discussion thread. Something happened this morning that I won’t even bore you with but lets just say it had markstoneman and a friend of his calling me names on Twitter. It was quite funny, to be honest.
Needless to say, I am deleting my account as I feel like BlogCatalog’s admins don’t do their job and allow these jerks to ruin a really once-prominent community.
Again, those of you who read my blog religiously won’t care, I know… but just thought I’d explain why I am leaving that community. If you recall my beef with YouTube a few months ago, it’s almost similar except the biggest jerk on BlogCatalog is an adult male who acts like a 3rd grader. It’s humorous to a point, but I so don’t need to waste my energy on good blog posts and discussions when this guy is allowed to be a negative jerk to everyone who posts on there. Trust me, I’m one of several who feel this way.
I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! Tracking Gustav and watching the weather reports has literally exhausted me but I am SO HAPPY that it wasn’t as bad as what it could be! Thank you Lord!
