I know what you mean - I think ...Hi ya Clarissa! <br /><br />I know what you mean - I think the thing is <i>any</i> of us who blog or tweet have a twinge of narcissism at the very least! We couldn't not love ourselves and think we had something to say that people might want to read and we have to tweet /link share our posts in order to be heard. <br /><br />One of the first rules of blogging, methinks<br /><br />It's really just the overdoing of it that sometimes irks especially by some who can't really be bothered to read any other blogs but their own - and for that's okay, no one has to read anyone else's or comment, but then they can't really expect to get any back, can they?<br /><br />:-)) <br /><br />Nice to talk to you again, must go deal with that troll...KALINAGO ENGLISHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15202016406865561740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572501698854836939.post-42848092342213495092010-11-11T20:33:18.502+01:002010-11-11T20:33:18.502+01:00Oh, my, you actually seem to have some peeved pers...Oh, my, you actually seem to have some peeved person out to comment, not just a general troll or a spammer. How...junior-high-school. (Of them, I mean.)<br /><br />Anyway, I've managed to get rid of the Tacky but am not sure what to do about the Pests who seem to be new to social media and don't quite get that this is Not Acceptable. And it's really true about the first half of Narcissism--if you want to GET comments, you have to GET comments. Everyone occasionally has a great post that goes unloved, and I think it's OK to bring it up, but if it's a constant thing...the problem is not the other people. :/Clarissa at Talk to the Cloudshttp://www.talktotheclouds.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572501698854836939.post-20055592026717311642010-11-11T20:18:38.212+01:002010-11-11T20:18:38.212+01:00Oh ha ha ha oh very ha ha

This is a question I ask myself frequen...Yup, Tim! This is a question I ask myself frequently!<br /><br />At IATEFL last year, it was absolutely incredible because of Twitter, loads of us got together and we spent lots of time together and since then many of us have continued to get together (I went on a vacation with Marisa and Shelly for example in Greece, met up with some of the bloggers at their workshops or Skyped for some folk when one of us has needed help with something: in many, many, many cases some of us on Twitter have now really moved our online friendships into real life friendships and now things like going to conferences has become terribly exciting because you know that you're not going to dash in some strange room somewhere stand up in front of strangers and then park yourself in a hotel room watching the telly - now, you have friends in most of these cities.<br /><br />So... while that's all true the flipside that I'm making fun of in this post often does put a big wet blanket on all our great times! Tonight, before you commented, I've had to delete two comments from a troll...<br /><br />And sometmies that along with the folks we somehow see my blog as a target for advertising or in general, me, on Twitter as a person they should yell their wares at, it gets exhausting. Terribly so, because it's so frequent and although some may think that's flattering and why doesn't that bird keep quiet... it's not.<br /><br />It's just not flattering to swat away people whose sole interest in talking to others is that they visit their websites (I mean lots of have them, there's nothing wrong with being proud of one's work)... it's just where's the love - ya know.<br /><br />No one goes to a BYOB party with nothing in their hands, walks up to the host and says hey do you mind, I can't stay, busy, busy - must rush off, no time to thank you for the treats but hey come round mine and while you're at it... bring some of that caviar and champers with you because I'm only serving beer meself.<br /><br />It just makes you go oh.<br /><br />KarenneKALINAGO ENGLISHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15202016406865561740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572501698854836939.post-70829856227336448222010-11-11T18:42:03.226+01:002010-11-11T18:42:03.226+01:00Funny and some valid points.

Please make sure you tell me when it's up.

When I say the site is officially 'abandoned,' they normally respond "that's okay. We need the links."<br /><br />Meh.<br /><br />I plan to blog again. And I don't hate technology.
