I came online and within everything I just found one person was playing online games. Do we all really wish to have all that takes place? I don't I am totally for freedom of speech but I am not much in that underhanded stuff that can take place now and then. And as far as where this goes with the other "tied in" friends will probably be a gossip consortium.
The way that I see it there are two types of people:
1. The people that are just doing there own thing with what ever it may be.
2. Those that wish to be underhanded at times for what ever reason it may be.
I have taken many people off before and all I know is that this is the internet and I do have that choice as to if I see something take place a few times then thereafter I will not hesitate in deleting and blocking. As well, it's what it is, but I am just not into those that have some self inclined interest. Nor do I wish to have 250 people on my blog.
But that is my own choice...
I don't even understand the motivation for pretense or "online games." Very strange---who has the time to spin a yarn or tell a lie that has to be maintained in an online persona? If that's what you're speaking of...pretense in real life OR online makes no sense to me.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I dont really care, I have come to enjoy this and not have the moods and I really don't know them nor do they know me.
ReplyDeleteFor myself I used to jump the gun on certain things but now I really am more open minded but I am not into the postures with some when it takes place.
ReplyDeletethe delete button is so easy to use ...and you are the second person this week to have type of blog...it's got me curious
ReplyDeleteI had a ton before literally, and I did seemed that everyone or some (not this one) either wanted something more or wanted to just play games.
ReplyDeleteI think some people are ....I think there nature comes out in here...
sad...
ReplyDeleteHmmm this related to the person asking for money, or something different entirely?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy this and there is a fraction of people that I literally have come to enjoy as well as really understand on the same page although we all are different we all have some interesting things to share. That's good.
ReplyDeleteNorma no, but I am not going to say whom it was. Something entirely different...
ReplyDeleteI can say this to you as I know you by way of the messenger when I do open it up - I am not a group - "Initiative Stain", is Jack no other person and don't try to do anything other than enjoy the assembly of friends.
Without out the postures etc....no biggy iggy works for me.
It takes all kinds of people in this big cyber world. It's nice when we can relate to others and sad when that is taken advantage of by game playing people.
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't mean you should name names. I believe it's generally better not to. Was just curious if it was something different than before.
ReplyDeleteAn underhanded disagreement of one that places much more into this than I do Lyn. I think you know I enjoy this much more for what it is rather than anything else.
ReplyDeleteSome wish for this to be much more, I often will leave things be and I promised myself that I will just let things go, as I often do...water on a ducks back.
This was someone that seemingly does not really care for what I do on here...anyhow....so be it...
ReplyDeleteI know you love the dialogue and the different comments from others. Those of us that post with you regularly seem to be a pretty compatible bunch, in my opinion anyway. It's your page you can do as you please.
ReplyDeleteI love my own writes the fun that comes along and the writes that are done by others Lyn. I really do....
ReplyDeleteMy guideline is if someone makes me fret or get a knot in my stomach I will hash it over for a few days and then remove them from my list of contacts. You can't be compatible with everyone. I refuse to argue. I turn the other cheek and walk away.
ReplyDeleteKaryn remember when we did not hit it off way back when I had a group on Yahoo...And here we are!
ReplyDeletethat's the best way to be...
ReplyDeleteYes, online is to be enjoyed...anyhow I just enjoy reading and as well writing...
ReplyDeleteThose good things...

You know, you would think it would be EASY for people to be themselves on here, since no one can "see" you unless you choose to "show" yourself. What's the fear that makes people pretend? If I don't like who and what you are, I don't have to say yes to your offer of friendship, right? But to accept, and then be stupid and offensive is really beyond me!
ReplyDeleteAd Danette, said, Jack, "Delete" is an easy push!
Yeah and well any of those blogs there is bound to be something that happens but I don't place much weight into it when after a period of time I come to find what is irrelevant. I remember a friend on here Doug, in fact it was last night on a one of my music UTubes and he was mentioning how Gene Simmons was so obnoxious.
ReplyDeleteI am not obnoxious in any manner. But I do believe in friends and yeah I am creative but so are others, but I think that is enough on this matter.
Sometimes before I was so misunderstood and all I wish to do is have fun and read things of interest.
Makes me wonder...surely it is an indication as to who these people are in the "real world" as I see myself on-line and off-line as the same person. If I wouldn't do it in person then why would I do it on here. Isn't that really being true to ourselves?
ReplyDeleteIn everyday life if I should come across something like this then I would remove myself from the situation and not get involved, however as this is my little space on Multiply "my home" then I will not remove myself.
Same here Denise...
ReplyDeleteI hope that we all can remain the gentle conversant friends this blog allows us to be. In other environments there is opportunity to be confrontational, combative, disagreeable, highly opinionated, etc. Jacks blog is not that place, and I find it a very refreshing and restful place to be.
ReplyDeleteJack, I hope you stay the course and maintain the purity of this blog at whatever cost you find necessary.
Thank you for allowing me to be here.
Charlie, really not kidding here when I saw you and your wife, I thought there is something different as well it was during Obama's first two weeks in office.
ReplyDeleteWe do think on the same wave. I have been to your blog and I think we have become more than just writing friends. But within the writes what you say is truly what I believe in.
I am on here in the night and as you know I am waiting for something, and within it all it all comes out fine.
Thank you for allowing me within your family!
HOPE WHATEVER HAPPENS STOPS. i DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE HAVE TO CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR OTHERS. tHEY MUST BE JUST MISERABLE AND NEED ATTENTION OR SOMETHING. I AGREE WITH DEE, I AM PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ONLINE AS I AM IN MY ORDINARY LIFE. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET ... WHAT YOU READ IS WHAT I AM ... HAHAHA. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANYONE WANTING TO CAUSE YOU A PROBLEM...I GET THE FEELING THAT YOU ARE A PRETTY UPFRONT KIND OF GUY. I ENJOY YOUR BLOG, SO DON'T YOU GO ANYWHERE!
ReplyDeleteDodgy people are best left off via the delete system. As you said, some people have 200+ people on their blog. Good luck to them :-)
ReplyDeleteSylive that's all past but yeah but I don't really get into it all as I have been there before and I just enjoy it as it is...
ReplyDeleteI like Denise had said do the very same thing.
"Makes me wonder...surely it is an indication as to who these people are in the "real world" as I see myself on-line and off-line as the same person. If I wouldn't do it in person then why would I do it on here. Isn't that really being true to ourselves?

I agree Doug, I don't put much weight into those that are self inclined, and posture. I sometimes I could be mistaken but I leave it there and after a few months, if it seems so, then for me it is so...I like more of just the easy going things in which we everyone is not based on "I" but is based on both themselves as well as some understanding of another.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, there is facebook, myspace, .....so many but you "walked in" and I know how it can go where one is portrayed as a "Gene Simmons", which in no manner am I. I just enjoy sitting and then walking away, and enjoying it all within what comes within the evening.
Nothing more nothing less - just things that are of significance. Last I will never say the name, I am far beyond passing notes around for if I did in high school I would never have passed....one blog works for me...as a human being.
Jack,
ReplyDeleteI will take a bit of liberty and post a poem I wrote in a distant time when it occurred to me that we let too many precious moments slip away unremarked.
What your blog means to me is reflected in its words. If you'd prefer that I not share it here please feel free to remove it without fear of hurting my feelings. This is, after all, your place. With all due respect, I submit:
Slowing Down
How fast I've run
the landscape rushed by quickly
I've missed the beauty
sometimes comes to slower
And filled each moment
with momentum only
until my cup once full
runs now so nearly empty
so not by miles to measure
but by footsteps taken
and count the time
by where my feet bear down
To see the sights and smell
the scents while hearing
The splendor stirring
in the womb of smallest sounds
I've run so fast...
but now I'm slowing down
C A Cirilo
this world is full of bad people too-people who don't know how to treat people. I hope you are surrounded by good friends, Jack. and if they do something bad to you- I know you won't hesitate to block them.
ReplyDeleteI've seen lots of drama and such on mult too. I don't get it, personally. For me it's a place to hang, read, relax, maybe learn something and sometimes I make a friend here and there.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wish there was a way to block some of the stuff in the inbox so I don't have to read the lnline before I realize it's junk, porn or some other crap that I'd like left out of my life.
