Yikes, Pia!!! You’ve got yourself a nut, and a tenacious one at that. Please don’t change a thing about your blog. It’s amazing to find someone so open about themselves. Especially one who can actually write.

Thanks MD, Pat, Jane, WB

Don’t plan on changing a thing about my blog–just hit the blogging wall a few days ago.

I used to run a successful website many moons ago, and eventually shut it down because of conflicts like this. I must admit (no matter how inappropriate) that this one entertained me greatly

Isn’t it amazing how much time some people will commit to being pendantic.

Pia,
I’ve enjoyed your blog for some months now & I I’m not alone. Please don’t change one thing about your writing. I look forward to reading more soon.

“But I would die before I went into another individuals blog and made a nasty personal comment.”

Really Pia?

Hmmm – seems like this Blog Owner should seriously consider donating her body to Chemical companies for experiments … rabbits and monkeys are hard to find these days.

I can think of only one instance where I got nasty in comments [on a blog not mine]. My comments were driven at another commenter. Frankly, in retrospect, I shouldn’t have lowered my self to their level.

In general, I don’t see the point. I see plenty of blog (content) that seems pointless or that differs from my world view. Other than serving notice that someone disagrees with the blogger, what’s the point?

If something annoys me that much, I take it up on my blog. Basically, I don’t pee on someone else’s blog. I don’t expect to change someone else’s opinions or worse yet, alter their behavior.

Ultimately, people like that are like an annoying little brother. If you acknowledge them, they just get louder.

“G” whiz. Aren’t we all (still) allowed our own freedoms in this country? Freedom to think and express ourselves in our own way? You certainly have a right to form your own judgments based on your principles, but, to do so after reading one or two of Pia’s posts seems to be a bit premature.

Whether I do or do not support her political tenets or moral values has nothing to do with the simple fact that she is allowing us into her soul. She is a very gifted writer. I enjoy reading her posts because of her very unique style, which, to me, is a form of psychic energy derived from her own instinctual needs and drives. She opines from the heart. If she sways readers one way or the other, hasn’t she done something that many people fail to achieve? After reading her, you should sense the goodness there. And I am reminded of my youth and free spiritedness.

As far as the baby boomer issue, your statement, “the complete lack of drive and disconnectedness that have plagued the offspring of…” belies itself. Isn’t your, I mean, our president a product of “… The Greatest Generation,” having been born on the 6th of July, 1946? To state factly, post-war babies mean just that. Anyone born between 1946 – 1964. Does this mean you are implying that the president is inept? Would this render your argument invalid or does it mean that deep down inside, you secretly agree with her? I didn’t think so.

In this particular case, it seems to me to just reek of a Republican dog barking too loudly in a Democrat’s house. Bad dog. Go home, Karl Rover.

Unbelievable… utterly unbelievable. To close yourself to the debate of ideas is to ensure yourself exclusive ignorance.

I wont try to come back, and if you delete them, so be it. But think of a couple things first.

1. You put this on the public forum for a reason, and surely it wasnt so you could only find people who agree with you.

2. If the first sign of disagreement makes you this defensive and insulted, perhaps there are more to my questions and statements than you would like to admit?

Dont worry, I wont come back again, and you dont have to worry about detelting my comments. I have a copy, and will see if I can get some friends in on this one.
