Blog Stalkers -- by Douglas ChickBlogging is short for web logging. Blogging is a forum where people post personal thoughts, web links, and opinion…but mostly opinion…a lot of opinion. If you are reading this, you are reading my blog. Once a blog is posted, it is up to its readers to qualify it as truth, lie, or opinion. There is generally a healthy exchanged of idea’s, sometimes followed by a somewhat heated debate of ideology, and in many cases it becomes personal.

Blog Stalkers, or blog bullies are bloggers that attack every post, fill the blog with page after page of almost incoherent ranting, (mostly angry rants regarding liberals or Bush/Cheney being Satan) and frightening away others from posting their opinions because they don’t want to be attacked, or worse…

Fox has 31 blogs in 31 cities. I have visited and read the posts of all 31. And in every city there is always one or two “Blog Stalkers” that control the mood of these websites, beat down its readers, and bully their opinions until their victims do not want to post anymore. Most blog stalkers or blog bullies use pictures of the flag, an eagle or a gun as their icon. I spoke with one Fox reporter who told me that they have ejected many blog stalkers, but only to see them return under yet another anyonomous name.

What has been your experiences with Blog Stalkers?

In Denver they like to use pictures of the Mexican flag, Frito Bandito and things like that. Look on any blog that has to do with illegal immigration and you'll see them spewing their ignorance.

I have seen a lot of this, too, but not just under the flag, or eagle, or gun- trolls come in many shapes and colors and beliefs. The one thing they all have in common is that they are idealogues. There is no warning, no dialogue, no exchange of ideas before the hate. And there is no going back. I call it "Blog Rage". It brings out the worst in some people to be anonymous. The longer I blog, the less I want to fight, and I am about ready to stop blogging entirely- too many extremists.

I see people not paying any attention to what people write but what others say. blog stalkers fill the comments with things about one person not the story. p.s please check out my blog and send some comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here in Denver, I don't think we have blog stalkers as a regular basis. There's probably a dozen or so regulars and I think we get along just great. I think the two that have had the biggest differences and hottest exchanges are Fishermike and myself. But somehow, we've gotten passed that. Maybe it's all the times he's come out with a great one-liner and forced me to shoot Cheerios out my nose. Occasionally we do get the posterchild for birth control. He, or she, just shows up uninvited, does his or her drive-by grenade attack, then hops in the convertible and speeds away. He,or she, usually gets slammed down pretty quick.

Then there's the voice of reason. That would be Raysmom. Like a symphony, she fills the air with "The Sound of Music".

Then there's the playful one, Dizzee, a Kelly Bundy(Married With Children) lookalike. Whew, now I need a cigarette, and I don't even smoke(that line originally used by Fishermike).

And let's not forget the Booggymann. The Master of Sarcastic Wit who once ruptured my spleen with a hilarious one-liner. Also made me wet myself a few times. I heard the powers that be pulled him off the blogs. Why? For voicing his opinion? Isn't that censorship? Isn't that a liberal thing?

To the powers that be: Why don't you practice what you preach? You allow these mouthpieces for the liberal socialist party to roam around the blogs unchecked, conducting their driveby attacks, why don't you let The Booggymann, a truely patriotic American, like me, have his voice heard?

Sorry, didn't mean to hit the button twice.

T.P. - is that true? Did they really pull Booggy? That's messed up. I've peed a little myself reading his posts! If you ask me, they pulled the wrong person.

Very well put T.P....I have to agree with all of it...DAMN..And I thought I could say something to entice a "drive-by"...I don't always disagree with most of you, even Booggy, and Dawg or MHP..We all have valid opinions and I guess after we have gotten to know who each other are, it kinda tones things a bit as we become better aquainted...It's kinda nice. Like I said in one or two of the other threds, I have taken a look at my responses and i don't like the tone I took on some of them, and for that I am sorry. I will try to not be so harsh and mean..

You're okay Fish. I think that maybe if we hadn't butted heads so hard at first, we might not be like we are now.

So let us begin a new era of peace. Let us, you, me, dawg, boogster, garageguy, mhp, dizzee, raysmom & her cookies, skeptic, all go forth in peace...let's go find a drive-by and string him up!LOL

Mike - I think you're being too hard on yourself! We should be able to be passionate about things that are important to us without walking on egg shells around those who are just too damn sensetive. Sometimes people get out of line for sure, but it hasn't been you.

Thank dizzee for that..And you too T.P...I didn't say I was going to change my way of thought nor try to change anyone elses, just be more conscious about how I word things..Ya know? Not let my anger play a part in my opinions..All that ever did was cause other to escilate their hatred and I know all you guys are not all haters...Not extreme haters anyway...LOL
