Uh-oh, you turn your back on blonking for two weeks and the whole blonkosphere goes mental.
Some dude called Kathy Siesta got her knickers in a twist over some arsey comments and now her blonkchums are writing up a Code of Conduct to make sure it never, ever happens again.
Pfft. I'd love an arsey comment on my blonk. I think that's why scary commenters stay away from me — they can tell it'd make me feel important.

Code of conduct?
ReplyDeleteHow silly. Why not just moderate comments.
Oh, less drama that way.
Ah, nasty comments. You're right - you know you've *really* arrived when you start getting them.
ReplyDeleteI've had a few catty comments but nothing too bad. Almost disappointing, isn't it?
Hmm, you did have that teenage journalist turn up in a strop the other day, I thought that was quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteArse.
ReplyDeleteYOU BITCH! I'M GONNA CUT OFF YOUR HEAD AND SHIT DOWN YOUR NECK!
ReplyDeleteThere. Better?
Well I really must take issue with your use of the word 'mental', I'm appalled that you find it so HILARIOUS that people just want to be NICE to one another and make sure the blogosphere is a place where everyone can be SAFE and COMFORTABLE, you must be very LONELY and INSECURE and PEOPLE LIKE YOU WILL BE FIRST AGAINST THE WALL COME THE REVOLUTION! Harrumph.
ReplyDeleteWhat, again?
ReplyDeleteI'm revealing my blog-age here, but, um, we've been around this block quite a few times before.
Here's a link from 2003:
http://www.cyberjournalist.net/news/000215.php
And another from 2002:
http://chris.pirillo.com/2002/02/10/the-bloggers-manifesto/
There are lots more.
Some are manifestos, some are codes of conduct, some are just articles about the ethics of public writing... it's all been said before and saying it again, while possibly useful for the new bloggers caught up in the frenzy, won't really change anything because new people come online every day, discover the internet and happily make the same mistakes all over again.
I personally like the Zen Blogger's Manifesto:
Write not for others, as there are too many.
Write for yourself, as there is only one.
Um, there can't be a bloggers' code of conduct from 2002 because blogs were only invented last year when I started mine.
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then I get some douchebag who likes to slag on me for various inane reasons. Some people are just fuckwits, I guess.
ReplyDelete@Annie and Bjarni:
ReplyDeleteI think these lyrics by Soleil Blonk are appropriate:
Sans faille, le cycle se répète
Semblables, les jours qui se succèdent,
Quand les ombres se projètent,
En d’inquiétantes silhouettes.
Le vent qui se lève
Soulève la poussière…
Sans trêve, le mercure à la hausse.
Sans âme, la rue, la ville, les blaukhaus.
Une explosion de lumière,
Evapore les rivières
Débute une nouvelle ère
SOLEIL, tout à refaire!
SOLEIL, la terre entière!
Sans trêve, le mercure à la hausse.
Sans âme, la rue, la ville, les blaukhaus.
Une explosion de lumière,
Désintègre la matière.
Débute une nouvelle ère
Qu’importe, c’est la fin d’une histoire.
Une s’arrête, une autre démarre..
SOLEIL!
SOLEIL
You can google for the origin. If you don't know what the babelfish is for, you can google that too.
(Logi, who can't remember his blogger user-name, let alone the password, and anyway, google won't mail your password to blogger accounts since they want you to heel, play dead and get a google account)
I got an odd bizarre anti gay rant once, does that count? Pretty bad placement if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteYou all suck and your blogs are shite.
ReplyDeleteAnnie Rhiannon is a silly poobum and her blonk smells of wee and liver and it is a gay.
ReplyDeleteWill that do?
It's all a load of self-important cock. Code of Conduct, my fekking arse.
ReplyDeleteI think that if people are leaving shitty comments on your blog then it shows you're doing something right. Offending the sensibilities of small-minded fuckwits is all part of the fun.
I despise the kind of bloggers who are so desperate to be loved that they end up writing nothing but insipid, inoffensive drivel because they're so terrified of somebody not liking them and leaving something nasty in the comments box.
If you haven't offended somebody today, you are pointless and should kill yourself.
It took me AGES to figure out what you were going on about Logi. You get the prize for the arsiest commenter. There's only ONE blonk.
ReplyDeletebottom, bum, behind, derrière, buttocks.
ReplyDeleteThat stupid cunt obviously isn't witty enough, otherwise people wouldn't be taking the piss.
ReplyDeleteCHEKIDOUT THIS STUFF YEA!!!
