 DRIVE-BY BLOGGERS

  I've got a complaint about the thoughts staff who police these blogs.   I am basically talking about political blogs that tilt toward the right.  They are being attacked by boggers who are payed by Obama's staff (this can be confirmed by many former Hillary workers who after she was defeated joined Obama's staff only to then be assigned to this task) to prowl the various web sites looking for right wing posts and then slander every right wing politician (and there aren't many left) and when you respond by taking up for them by calling these "drive-by bloggers" liars and morons (which they are) then they run to the Thoughts staff and complain about it.  The right wing blogger is then chastised or reduced stars for their behavior.
   I'm all for the staff policing the site but at least give the bloggers who have been with this site for a fairly long period of time the benefit of the doubt and not some johnnie-come-lately whose only contribution to this site from his original sign-up date (which is usually that day) is his one trouble-making comment on someone else's post.
   I think this is totally unprofessional.  I know this post I'm making now is also unprofessional because I should have contacted the thoughts' staff privately.  Well, I didn't because when this happened to me I was reprimanded not having the opportunity to explain my comments or come face to face with my accusers.  Oh, and by the way, those bloggers (I say bloggers but they are not because they only made a few comments and no post) are now gone.

It's nice to know I'm not alone on this. Thanks Douglas.

I expect that what the Thoughts Staff is objecting to is the name-calling rather than the political slant to the post. I think the objective of a drive-by blogger is to incite you to blow your cool and if name-calling ensues, their work is done. Maybe they're just trying to provoke politically passionate people to "hang themselves" so to speak.

You're free to say whatever you like within the guidelines of the Terms of Use, but my advice to you is don't let those who like to poke their sticks in your cage get to you. Blow them off. I suspect they are the ones reducing your stars. Rise above and delete their comments rather than respond to them.

Just some food for thought :)

Thanks BL,

You're probably right on that.

Hey J, just stay the course. As you know those who tend to share a "right" view, tend to be able to articulate their points a bit better. Good luck.
