Let's hear what you  think?

Drop kick them off of Panorama Bluffs?

Michele, I was wondering the same thing.   I went back to add a comment addressing the topic and found it locked due to a TROLL! 

Why was he not just deleted?

i think that blogs are supposed to immitate real life.  not having those types of people around isnt real life.  We have to learn how to deal with each other, and ,on occasion, deal with the people that feel they are above it all.

locking a blog down is a personal choice.  It doesnt bother me either way.  what really gets me burnt, is when I am not allowed to post on someone's blog

now Im sure Virgil will roll in here runnin smack about how i have him banished from my blog.  simple fact is, he posted a picture.  I told him it was something i didnt want on blog, i removed it and asked him not to do it again...well, he  did, and he isnt allowed on my blog until is see a serious behavior change in his posts, which i have yet to see.

which blogs? who locks them? why?

Only political bloggers and spammers get deleted. Not sayin' it's intentional, just unconscious.

" i think that blogs are supposed to immitate real life."

Learnem,

In your case,  I hope not.

--virgil

right on Que virgil....had you followed directions and not reposted that racist photo i asked you not to do...you wouldnt be banned.

here's a novel idea viral, do some of your own blogging instead being the TBC blog sniper

Virgil, Maybe there is some history with others around here, but for what it is worth, I think you are funny and hope you keep up the good work.

Learnem,

"simple fact is, he posted a picture.  I told him it was something i didnt want on blog, i removed it and asked him not to do it again...well, ... "

dude, it was a picture imitating real life.  

And you couldn't take what was being  implied, in real life,  when using it to illustrate the point that the Obama Joker is a  racist representation of the President of the United States.

Pogo- this one here>> http://people.bakersfield.c...

BNT locks them, which they have the right to but it's due to the 2 brilliant bloggers. It's sad to have both blogs blocked by these 2 when other people were commenting.  I just observed this.

Then over the weekend there was another one that I thought for sure had them kicked off, until I seen them posting today.  That blog had to do with the officer shooting at 7-11

Thanks, Pogo.

--virgil

thanks michele, now I understand. I didn't read the whole thing but it looked stuff was just being repeated. Too bad that some people can hurt everyone who has an opinion.

i think that people who get xnayed from peoples blogs, or get blogs shut down, ought to start their own blogs to air out their issues, not SNIPE someone else's blog about THEIR problems

Good point, learn

I went snipe hunting once ...

--virgil

i believe in freedom of speech, totally ~ but then 'you-know-who-BMW" & cronies were cheering-on the shooting of a police officer, that did it for me

TBC can block them - but then they will just re-create another profile, and continue to blog from their blackberries while waiting for their ho's to get back from the latest john-job.

once a blog thread has gotten totally out of control, they end the feed.

Well, bp(aka..I own a 745 BMW)  was deleted so that's good.  Personally, if you have to flaunt what you drive, you probably don't drive that.  With spelling and punctuation errors all over the place, it's a surprise they even have a job. 

I like Virgil and I  don't find anything wrong on his blogging, Well Virgil how many does this make on banning you? 3?

I went snipe hunting once ...--virgil

did ya shoot yourself in the foot?? hehe sorry bub couldnt resist

as far as the locked thread we all know it happens when blogs get way off sensible track..talking about the sheriffs son, the sheriff, jagles his poor X wife etc should not have been a rag time session and expect the blog to have any longevity..PERIOD

Other than the trolls I thought it was a good blog on how our kids don't always turn out the way we hope they will.  Lord knows my parents probably hoped for a lot more from me.  Especially in my younger years.

When bringing up the Sheriffs son I was reminded of the preachers son.  Much is expected from them as well as LE children.

It's three,  Ms. Jenny ... and,  Thanks,  for the vote !   :   )

--virgil

You can always comment on my blogs Virgil.

I'll never block you (or anyone) from them.  I don't believe in censorhip, at all. 

  Nancy,

The two PKs ( pastor's kids ) I spent middle and high school years with were the worst of us all.

But, I grew up Lutheran ... that could've been the difference. 

--virgil

Thanks, Audrey !

--virgil

I'm waiting for the day when everyone has blocked everyone else from their blogs.  That's when the site will come to a screeching halt! 

I usually don't participate in the controversial locked blogs but, the one shouting on the blog regarding Youngblood's son needs to be permanently banned.  He is out of control with anger and black pride.  He just didn't get it.  The difference between why we did not bash Youngblood for his rearing of children is that he is not claiming the innocence of his son.  He is not blaming it on someone else. He takes the responsibility that he did the best he could and if his son screws up, well, Aaron needs to pay for his actions.  Maybe if more parents practiced "tough love" the children would not be enabled.

Blocking bloggers is a blogger's prerogative.  Some believe it's unforgivable; others do it purely self-defensively.  Once I had somebody blocked, decided to unblock him just to prove how uncritical I can be (please don't DIE laughing, everybody!), and as soon as he returned, he reminded me precisely why I didn't want his comments befouling and contaminating my blog site. 

Motopoet wrote a blog entry today that explained a lot of my own thinking about opinions and the stating of same.  Yes, yes, everybody has one -- an opinion.  However, having a particular opinion does not in and of itself mean that if it differs from that of others, I should be run out on a rail.  It means just that:  the opinion differs from that of others. 

Most of us have opinions that have been years in the making, and many of us aren't suddenly going to change those opinions because someone comes along and tells us how completely wrong we are.  What person can change an opinion simply because someone believes there's no basis for the opinion?  It would certainly be a wishy-washy person who would do that.

I suppose I'm off-topic.  I have a hunch I know what blogger might be the topic of this blog, but I'm not sure.  I've pretty much been out of the fray for the last couple of days.  The really, truly egregiously rude bloggers can't last long. 

I blocked Virgil from my blogs for being nothing more than a simple vandal. He pops in and leaves graffiti and that's about it.

Audrey, I'm glad you feel that way about the First Amendment. "I don't believe in censorhip, at all." 

Next time I'm in town, maybe I'll come by and exercise my first amendment right on the side of your house with a spray can, just like Virgil does on these blogs........................

That's not funny, is it? Nope, I don't think so either. That's exactly why I wouldn't do it to your house, and won't allow it on my blogs. It's destructive and adds absolutely no value.

 Tony,

It's almost 9:00 pm where you are, huh ?

--virgil

Just got finished helping my Son with his Math homework.......................Some things come first. Others are nothing more than entertainment.

Amen, Tony (6:38 comment). I usually don't pay much attention to Virgil's comments, but he was spamming a blog that means a lot to me. Totally inconsiderate. And thank you, by the way, for handling that whole fiasco via email; it's what I should have done in the first place. I appreciate that you didn't blow that whole thing out of proportion as I did. 

But I still think getting upset over pizza boxes on a car is a little extreme  ; ) 

Great post, Michele!

 No Vanity.

You baited Tony and me into a conversation  about his off handed remark about people with disabilities.  He came out of that looking really bad ( nothing more than human, though ).

You deleted all of it . And, then you blocked me , you troll getter, you.

--virgil

Vanity,

you're mean spirited .

--virgil

Thanks Vanity,

We're all good.

Thanks, Tony.

Virgil,

Vanity didn't bate ME into anything. I made a comment on another blog and I believe that maybe she misunderstood my argument. You chimed in with your typical graffiti. I chose to explain myself and patch things up with Vanity via email and not stoop to bicker with you. When I didn't engage, you continued to vandalize her blog.

That's what happened.

Tony,

you are full of poo .

You two are pathetic. Enjoy it !

--virgil

Again, more graffiti from the resident vandal...................

You've had much scotch tonight, Tony ?

You're feeling kinda good, huh ?

--virgil

Sorry Virgil, not tonight..........I'm doing other things and not hot tubbing and partying tonight.

What, do you think that those who indulge in fine spirits, do it as often as you smoke pot? Some of us are a little more responsible than that, and have real lives to attend to. Some of us go to work everyday, help run a house and raise kids.

Keep stabbing around in the dark Virgil. You'll never figure it out................ Let me help you out a bit. It's called initiative, drive and accountability.

 "Let me help you out a bit. It's called initiative, drive and accountability."

I bet you tell yourself that every day.

By the way, I can tell when you're drinking expensive scotch and blogging, you're more venal and self-righteous .

Scotch kills brains cell,  little buddy. It's good you keep your spirit drinking to a minimum.

--virgil

You  B.S. more, too .

--virgil

   " I chose to explain myself and patch things up with Vanity via email and not stoop to bicker with you."

Like I said,  in what was deleted, 

you did not have the huevos to acknowledge you mis-spoke about people with disabilities when arguing with me:  something about a chip on the shoulder and whining about how they think they have been cheated in life, and  how they think the govt. owes them, etc.

No huevos, dude, just one big fat chorizo.

--virgil

Tony,

It's okay to acknowledge you mis-spoke in such a mean spirited and venal way ( perhaps, while spirited ?)

I would accept your apology - I really would. At this point, it's all about accountability.   And,  you know that.

--virgil

Virgil, I appreciate your humor.  We definitely need that on these blogs.  I wouldn't block you either :-)

i am totally in the dark

am i retarded?  or what the hell?

Kilroy was here.

the original graffiti artist.

Just the usual in-fighting over pixels and opinions.

Strong personalities ~ love them but the Machiavellian over tones are pretty entertaining.

Let's stop short of a Jerry Springer show shall we ?

The reason I read the blogs is for all of the opinions.
