I’ve been reading a lot more blogs lately.
If your blog exists primarily to sell something, I do not enjoy it. Now, say you have a blog that has built a relationship with readers over a long period of time, and you decide to use an entry or two on that blog to sell photos you’ve taken, books you’ve written or scarves you’ve knit. No biggie. But if the entire point of your blog–more than 90% of the entries–are about books, photos or scarves for sale it’s not really a weblog, per se. It’s an ad campaign. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself, this being a free country and all. I just don’t enjoy it.
If your blog is full of yellow journalistic turns of phrase, using words like Dhimmicrat and Rethuglican, and constantly talking about half this country as though they’re less than animals I don’t enjoy it.
Just Another Pretty Farce 
If you deem it worthy, would you put my latest on NiT?
the little note about gentry and the mayoral candidates urban plunge? Even if you don’t use my post, could you mention the plunge anyway? kthx
I’m going to write a post about the Top 10 Signs Your Political Commentary Is Useless, and one of them will be assigning unflattering nicknames to politicians of the opposite party. Such as Hillary “Rotten” Clinton (Mike Levine). I’ll have to add the mixing up of party names to my list.
Thank you Ms. C.
You don’t enjoy trolling blogs full of libel (or slander, I forget which is which)???
That’s 99% of the internet. (The other 1% is porn)

I guess hate of what somebody’s selling depends on what you’re buying.
[…] not nuts about blogs that just yell at me. I get enough of that in my non-virtual world. Kat Coble tells you the ones that irritate […]
Sabrina’s got her math wrong.

Yea, I don’t know how people can take that seriously. I mean, we’re 50/50. Your mom/mailman/neighbor/kid’s teacher is a dhimmi/rethug (as in, the one you don’t like). So maybe you should chill out.

Love a peek at my site, always open to critics since I am new to this field…. I don’t even know what a Dhimmicrat is but I can golly gee guess 🙂
