Intriguing or boring? : Which blogs do you feel more like commenting on?

I'm not a hard-hearted bastard ...
Never!

Oh dear, I think you have just about covered all the topics of my blogs in your tend to ignore list. :-(

I don't appear to be as discerning as you are in my blog reading although, I don't comment on all of them; Some I find more interesting and amusing than others.

I don't have a favourite sort of blog and I tend to read most of the recent blogs whether or not they are short stories or real life experiences etc. I comment if I have something to contribute.

I find I am irritated by blogs that are not well thought out, incomprehensible or just make me feel downright uncomfortable (there have been a few). I also see those that contain detail that belongs in profiles or the events diary pointless and add little or no value to the blogs.

I enjoy those that provoke differing opinions. I also enjoy blogs that give an insight into an author's personality, sense of humour, frame of mind, recent experience etc.

Long may they all continue xx

Thanks folks. I'm not arguing with people's right to blog. I'm simply trying to ascertain whether some people have aversions similar to my own. Even Olivers seems to be with me on the "I've just had a shag" issue :-) As I say - I sympathize with people who are in distress, but in choosing not to comment I'm simply reflecting what I'd expect from others if I were in the same situation. But that's just me: I'd want to keep it private and rely on close friends andor family.

I'm also not discriminating between what might be regarded as "low-brow" and "high-brow" either, because I'm an earthy sort at heart and can appreciate vulgarity and crudity as much as the next person. Also, as Kinky points out, a blog that is fairly mundane at the outset can be transformed into an interesting or amusing thread by some ascerbic or comic intervention.

Yeah we all respond in different ways, that's for sure. And I suppose that's my point in giving you an idea of stuff that wouldn't invite a response from yours truly.

PMSL@olivers

Kinky: You already have my full attention without having to resort to erotic fantasy :-) Besides, you may recall that I'm not above contributing the odd erotic vignette, although it's usually a knee-jerk response to someone being flirty ;-)

FA: I wouldn't have expected a lover of haute cuisine such as yourself to enjoy peasant's victuals, so your stance is understandable.

Good job you didn't tell me that you'd spent all weekend fucking a slim, heavy-breasted 21-yr-old Japanese girl, as I'd probably have been jealous :-)

Good call on this one Skebbie.

Think you have covered most of the ones I tend to glaze over or give a wide berth to.

However, we are probably the most diverse crowd I've ever had the 'immense pleasure' of being included with, so for me personally it's a 'Sunday Newspaper Job', 'I know there will be adverts, supplements and other crap articles that hold absolutely no interest to me whatsoever, but I still buy it and love it, as without them it's just not a Sunday Newspaper!

bbwlicious Dont you dare stop blogging or I will be forced to come and poke you with a sharpened stick until you give in!!!!!

FA: Damn !!!! :-) Any chance of lending them out next weekend?

MYS: I like the way you liken the blogs to a newspaper: an apt comparison. Of course, like a newspaper, on this site there are personal ads too :-)

Roslyn: You are perfectly entitled to post anything you wish, obviously. It's just that I'd be crap about advising you on dress-sense :-) Like you, I tend to be a realist rather than a fantasist, so this is why I tend to "move swiftly on" if someone has posted an erotic fairy tale.

Being a biologist, I'm interested in evolution, so changes in blog direction as a result of mutation and natural selection are of particular interest :-)

I comment on blogs that seem to need an answer (that is, when I have something I really have to say, no matter how mundane).

I like writing, and try to come up with a new topic once in a while (though so many blogs are coming out lately that I can't think of new topics as much that haven't been done and sometimes overdone). But now I'm paranoid that some of my blogs fall under the "whiny" category....

ROSLYN, Oh, and it seems we have a little Yorkshire group forming

Strength in numbers. You will be hunting as a pack next :-)

I was toying with the idea of proposing a "Yorkshire bloggers' social" at my UK place (even though in my case the "Yorkshire" label is purely geographical), but then realized this particular group might not go down too well in the "local": a few years ago, while on a pub crawl with friends, I was actually *refused service* by a boor of a barman because he claimed I was gay. It seems hard to believe that such stuff still goes on, but in retrospect it amused me because I'm arguably one of the few straight men who have been on the receiving end of homophobia :-) It was a little reminiscent of that pub scene in "Withnail and I" where "I" is accused of being a "ponce" :-)

Skebbie, Roslyn

You all in a Yorkshire local would be like an adaptation of a scene from Monty Python's Flying Circus. :-)

"Ah yewst'll live in shoe box in't middle of the road....."

FA: Sorry, I was letting my imagination run away with me. For a brief moment I thought you might have been running a high-class escort agency, and planning a Berlusconi-style "bunga-bunga party".

Kinky: Presumably in gay bars ???

I have this image of you and Curvy hunting down prey like those raptors in Jurassic Park :-) What a great way to die :-)

jonnealas: Maybe you could accompany our group to ensure we don't get refused bar service :-)

Skebbie

Aye, You must have had it tough. I bet you used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue.
;-)

@Jonnealas, see Skebbie isn't a hard hearted B afterall. He didn't want you to feel left out.

jon: Well that's a nice little plug for your youthfulness :-) Last time I went to B&Q I was asked whether I was interested in a senior citizen's saver card. I emerged crestfallen and utterly devastated :-)

Haha.....that last post gave me a minute or two of genuine mirth.....

FA: It just occurred to me that the pub clientele might have thought it curious a girl had just done the Three Peaks wearing heels and a mini-skirt. Maybe they were simply dumbfounded.

I once got silly drunk in a local country pub with a friend who is a priest and yes, he was wearing his dog collar at the time. We were trying our best to play darts without laughing and as you can imagine we started to attract a fair amount of attention and disapproving looks. We were politely asked to leave when a stray dart broke a wall light.

FA: It would have been even funnier if you'd been sitting on the summit in evening dress.

Skebbie, I hope you don't mind, but I thought this blog of yours was worth revisiting in the hope that it generates some ideas.

Apologies in advance; it's such a burden having a blog running - and now you have two ;-)

Yeah I admit resurrecting blogs is a bit of a cop-out, but sometimes giving them a fresh airing can attract some new contributors.

I suppose my views haven't changed much since last year. Must admit the ones I'm least attracted to are interminable erotic novellas - but hey that's just me. (Although such efforts seem to generate minimal comment as far as I can see.) I much prefer something that generates debate and banter, and an exchange of ideas.

Missed this one first time around skebbie.
Not sure about the erotic stories. When they are bad they can be toe-curlingly terrible but recent ones by certain bloggers have shown when they're good they're very very good!
I think you can always tell the bad blogs by the number or lack of comments.
Personally I don't care if my blog is disagreed with, argued over, or shoots off in a completely different direction as long as it provokes some sort of reaction.
The worst response would be no response at all.
