sometimes i go through phases where i'm "addicted" to someone's, could be anyone's, blog. it doesn't matter if said blog is boring (god forbid), grammatically-askew, reader-unfriendly, music-blaring-without-off-button, and all the unmentionable sins bloggers can commit, the list is endless.
this usually lasts for circa one week, enough for me to fill my gossip pages and get undeniably irritated at all the mistakes the writer seems oblivious to.
which brings me to... well, fact is, i've begun to dislike this person quite - for the lack of a better word - a lot based entirely on what he's wrote.
so the question is: am i being fair to him?
you see, it's not like my judgement was established on the way he looks, dresses or talks.
it's the way he writes, and on a secondary level, the way he thinks. so it is not superficial like, to quote that cliche, judging a book by its cover or anything along those lines, is it?
so there's really nothing wrong, isn't it?
i know i sound like i'm trying to placate myself, and i am. i just feel that something is amiss, like i am somehow being very peripheral about this.
what if someone came up to you, or word got to your ears, or someone tagged that he or she hates your guts because of the way you've portrayed yourself in your blog? what would your reaction be?
would it be "fair enough", or "what the fuck?!?!"?
i guess to be able to make a decent judgement i would have to have decent reasons to back myself up. but truth is, i don't.
ok, i do have one rather frivolous case: i don't like how he always thinks to explain himself to his readers, as if afraid that they'd get the wrong impression of him, like he's afraid of what people'd think.
see i don't like how he, in a way, tries to control what people think of him. he says "fuck", then covers up with "i don't really cuss that often so you should be shocked." how can you ever steer what people think? that's an impossible task... unless you're professor X.
if it's just one "fuck" out of every hundred entries you've posted, then of course i wouldn't consider you the free-cussing type. it makes me feel stupid when people explain everything like people don't know anything. sheesh.
oh, come to think about it, this isn't such a frivolous case anymore. =)

p.s. "maunder man" is the unfortunate party singled out here. he shall rename nameless because i've got no money if he ever wants to sue.
