Do Not Blame A Clown For Being One

Do Not Blame A Clown For Being One



Have you ever heard this saying before?

I hadn't but when I saw i.t posted elsewhere today, i.t made m.e stop to reflect where I am and why I am here.

People bickering here about the proper use of<b> blogs. </font></b>Others complaining about being bombarded with unwelcomed 'dick pics'. Some trying t.o publicly shame those that wouldn't accept No for an answer. Some leave and then are drawn back here like some strange addiction. Others seem t.o thrive on drama.

Personally, I have discovered how much I enjoy the freedom t.o fill my 'space' the way that I am comfortable. I didn’t set out with a goal of achieving a certain number of ‘watchers’ nor do I post expecting a certain amount of comments. However, whenever someone takes time out of their day t.o stop at my space, i.t is appreciated and I acknowledge their presence. If friendships evolve, that is an added bonus.

In the past, I allowed myself t.o get drawn into the 'blog wars' and friendships were lost. The stress and unpleasantness of i.t. all made m.e realize i.t simply wasn't worth the trouble. I continue t.o see what goes on but choose not t.o comment.

So why do I stay on here? Because I can. I don't have t.o explain myself t.o anyone. I am m.e. and I don't try nor pretend t.o be anyone else. You would see the same person if we met. Some day I will leave and i.t will be on my own terms. In the meantime, I will see how things continue to unfold.

What an interesting saying I had never heard this one either until now. And how befitting it is as it totally fits this place too. And what you see here with me is what you get in real life too, so we have something else in common.

Thanks for sharing this one it kind of made me LOL when I first read it..

I hope your enjoying your day..

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

Its simple - I'm here to meet women. I blog because it is somewhat interesting and it is something to do when there aren't any women available nearby.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

No, I haven’t noticed that, but that’s because I haven’t spent nearly any time at all on the blogs, and having a lapsed paid membership status, it’s even unworkable to be a part of the community at large in the main body of the site.
However I have noticed , on an affiliated site where I do read the blogs daily, it really boils down to roughly 10 “bloggers” who dominate the blogs and post 90% of the material. So I can imagine it’s probably that way here as well? Guess I’ll have to keep an eye on these blogs and participate a bit, since the main part of the site isn’t any fun anymore now that they’d made it so restrictive and monetized even trying to look at the profiles.

A corollary--

When you vote for clowns, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

I have not heard that until now. This has gotten me to think on a few things.

The Light is shinning and she is lonely and waiting in the darkness.

Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here.

Please don't let me be misunderstood.

I am glad it made you smile. Given all the different challenges you have faced, I thought you could see how that expression would apply in a number of scenarios. Keep smiling...it looks good on you!

It certainly is challenging for non-paying members. However, the blogs are open to all and you will find many bloggers also have private mailboxes. In all, the blogging community on this site is small compared to the overall membership. You have the option to keep checking the main blog page or choose to become a watcher of any that catches your eye. Thanks for dropping by and sharing your perspective.

I wasn't denying there are some good people on here. It is important to put this site into perspective and realize it's a microcosm unto itself and the blogging community is only a subset. I always appreciate you stopping by and sharing your perspective.

My hope is to find women, I'm not sure exactly what I want, but I do want to chat with whoever wants to chat back with me.

I stay because, even with all its faults, this site is entertaining.
And all the blogs and bloggers that I follow.

Chatting is a good start 😊. Entertainment is measured in different ways and is what keeps many people here.

Hmmm 🤔 seems to be a new theme emerging. How is it working out for you? Is it worth the price of admission?

Same as: Not My monkey, Not my Show. In other words...stay outta it . lol

i was raised with the saying: You dont have a nickle in that 25 cents....so leave it alone.

I keep arriving to the circus because there are some good peeps here...interesting perspectives ....sometimes entertaining....my blog writes are cathartic and if i happen to find a partner...its a Bonus.

Just always believed that strong people lift others others up....not smack em down. Also that queens need to dust off each others crowns, not try to tear em off. Hence i am always suspect when i see the converse happening~~

Thank you. It’s interesting how a phrase can trigger sine soul searching and then the words just flow.

We all have different reasons for being here and for staying. For me, overall, the positive experiences do outweigh the negative ones. I choose to keep those closely guarded. Thank you for stopping by, I always enjoy your insightful perspective.

I agree with the points you have raised. Some may take offence at this post. My words were a partial summary of what I have seen and experienced here and elsewhere. Thank you for stopping by and showing your support.

I found that an interesting collection, there was an experiment in the UK in the sixties where BST British summer time was retained for 3 years and only changed back again due to the hours of daylight during the winter for Scots farmers, I believe most people favoured keeping summer time for good.

I think you meant this comment to be on my post about Daylight Saving Time. There has been discussions off and on here in Canada about doing away with it but I doubt it will happen during my lifetime.
