Beware of Darth Commenter
http://www.cocomment.com/http://www.cocomment.com/Beware of Darth Commenter!
I believe that there are some people who are so abrasive and unhappy with themselves that they retreat to the Internet to reak havok on unsuspecting souls. They are like Darth Vader with a light saber. They like to play mind games and newbies are great targets. They know the psychological stress that unkind commenting can cause in a new blogger and I have no respect for such people.
I say this to warn newbies of the villain you will soon meet if you are a prolific blogger: “Darth Commenter.” (I’ll call him DC.)
My first encounter with DC, was really an eye-opening soul searching experience for me. (I’m glad I did it or I wouldn’t have been ready for the debate that ensued after my DOPA posting.)
When you meet DC, as any prolific, meaningful blogger will, you will be forced to ask yourself the central question of blogging: “Why am I blogging?” Much like the “why am I here” questions that all humans ask, this question is literally a “why am I here on the blogosphere” question. Ultimately it is the blogger who decides if they will indeed remain a blogger. We have the ability to leave the blogosphere as quickly as we entered it and many do.
I took a several day sabbatical to ask myself these questions and reemerged with a purpose and a calling that non bloggers simply cannot understand.
As you meet, DC, you will emerge with your own calling. Without a calling, it is difficult to keep up with the blog and it just becomes a nuisance.
Blogging, if you truly inhale its essence, will give you a calling, renewal, and purpose, as you’ve never seen before.
Darth Commenter is out there and his goal is to steal your enthusiasm for blogging with his light saber of unkindness. Do not feel compelled for some “noble” reason to post his comment. Delete Darth and never look back.
