I Want To Know The Names Of The Blog, FB and Forum Police!

Well, actually before I know their names I actually want to know exactly what training is required, what uniforms they wear, who appoints them to the position and then their names.

What gives them the right to boot someone off for not posting, posting to much or not commenting? Do they not realize that apparently unlike them some people have real lives going on, things that you just can't say "wait a minute I have to run and post on "Blank" or I will get kicked off? Do they not get the fact that posting can be an ordeal for the handicapped and reading that blog or post might be the only bright spot in their day?

So fuck off to the blog, FB and forum police!!!!

This week I am talking to a friend on the phone who tells me she was booted off a popular Facebook page for pugs, I will keep the name of the page to myself because they all know who they are and should be ashamed. This lady is one of the sweetest, most generous people you could meet. I wouldn't even dare to guess how many of the dogs she has sent money to on that page to help when one was sick or needed something. No, she doesn't own a pug, but she does have grandpugs, one of which is mine. My pug would be dead today if it were not for this lady paying for the treatments she needed to live. But let's not get confused here and think she only helped my pug, she has helped many, many pugs on that page and on other pug pages as well. The reason she was booted is unclear. I tell her not to worry about it that as soon as I log back on I will simply add her back. So yesterday I logged on to do that very thing and guess what? I have been booted too. Now I have been with that page since it started, it was conceived through private message between 3 or 4 of us, I was actually the second person to join. I am assuming my reason for being booted was not posting very often. My reason for not posting is the same reason I haven't had the time to blog much, keeping my dog alive, death in my family, my son being attacked by a shark and the long recovery that is going to involve not to mention more surgery and then a murder in my family. All of which has caused major depression and while I may not have posted with my Debbie Downer feelings I did enjoy reading the posts, sometimes they helped make a bad day better.  I'm sorry assholes but posting on your funny pug page was not first and foremost in my mind. I DID post and let you know what was going on, had my pug's Grammy post for me to tell what happened with my son and then posted an update on my son's condition. You knew it all except for the murder, since that just happened in the last few days I was booted before I could tell you. Were my feelings hurt? You damn right they were, so was the dear lady that has helped so many of you. Since she isn't good enough to read and enjoy your fucking posts maybe you all should all take a tally and pay her back for every dime she has helped you with. I am now waiting on someone to come up with the "it was a mistake defense", it always happens when people get called out on something like that.  As for me I don't want added back, would turn you down in a heartbeat if ask back and will remove myself if added back. So don't waste your time or mine. As for her, she would and did give many of you the shirt off her back, many times and you want to treat her like the dirt under your shoes? Fuck off, you all should be ashamed of what you did to her. Don't worry about them Grammy, there isn't a single one of them that can even come close to measuring up to the caliber of person you are.

  1. This has made me angry. Really angry. angry enough to walk off for a minute and come back to write this.
    I know nothing of pugs, but am aware of selfless people who help others without asking for any credit.
    when others, especially those who have received help turn their backs on others it really does make me wish I had a button to simple delete them of the map of the world. no blood or guts, just simple re-write of the world that makes them not exist anymore.
    I really am angry - on your behalf - I hope you don't mind. other people really piss me off.
    I hope your friend knows that for every dick in the world there are at least 100 others who would be grateful to have her as a friend.
    I hope she wins the lottery (but not the same one as me, I want to keep the jackpot to myself)
    good luck and fuck the haters!

  2. That's one of the down sides of the internet, I think. It's so easy for people to be so focused on the stats of it all that they forget there are real people on the other side of the computer monitor. But to treat your friend that way whose only thoughts have been to help other people ... it's no wonder you're not interested in being part of that again.

    1. I agree, I couldn't tell you one stat on this blog or even how many followers I have, I just don't really care about that kind of thing. But to do that to someone who has supported everyone that needed her is reprehensible to me.

  3. First of all, I'm so sorry for all the things you've been going through, and I can't believe you didn't use blogging as a coping tool. I hope you have a support system, if not use this blog as one, please. Second, have you messaged the people who apparently had the authority to knock you off and WTF them?

    1. There are many reason I did't use the blog as a coping tool and I intend to blog about that today. No, I haven't messaged them, I don't care enough to go that far.
