There is only one thing that I find intriguing and that is why be so mad after clicks, what is this madnes of the 'coveted' #1 position? If one gets into such meaninglessness as meaningful in real life, then madness is inevitable, just as simple and predictable as 2+2.

This is an excellent post that accurately accounts for what happened. Yes it is a sad thing to have happened because it came on rather quickly. It was almost like walking on egg shells in virtual environment. What I noticed was the amount of posts made by Judy Jetson that weekend...and of course their titles..It was an insane time and I am glad it is behind us. I wish her well.

I came in on the tail end of the fiasco and THANKFULLY missed alot of what you posted about here. I find myself infuriated over the fact that a person would throw such daggers at people. It's hostile, petty, and ridiculous. Though I've come to understand there is a question regarding said bloggers mental state of being the behavior IN ANY FORUM is unacceptable and inappropriate. I hope we have seen the last of this behavior from said blogger. I wish her peace of mind, and I hope she seeks another writing forum to play in.
Love - Clara

Suspicion and speculation on a persons real life are all very well...
however some aspects of this from what I know of 'Judy' are not correct. I'm not claiming to be an authority, I had a good friendship with 'Judy' prior to all of this, and this is what I base my judgement on.
I'm not defending what she did. I wasn't here, but was able to read back along. When you put those comments together like that, they are pretty laughable. Granted fairly offensive, but no more so than the trolling one experiences in a chat room or message board, except there, the person is usually not engaged in exchange after a certain period of time, or reported straight away so as not to let them have continued exposure for whatever reason on the site.
Here, 'Judy' just got rounded on by a bunch of people, some of who it appeared were smacking their lips in anticipation of rending their pound of flesh. It went way crazy out of proportion. Yes, I understand that they were mad as hell, but, they engaged 'Judy' at the same level as she had them. Yes, it was right that she needed to be reported, but it should have been done at the start of this behaviour, to spare unwitting participants and 'Judy'. As for clicks, too many people got mileage out of the episode, and continue to do so.
Sticking with the facts of the matter are one thing, sticking with your opinion is another. What needs to be done is improvement in Blogit based on the former.

BTW - I didn't consider the notion of being gay offensive. It was just that she was using homosexuality as a perjorative reference. I hope you understand...

Joe the entire incident
including those who then used it to gather click upon click for daaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyssssssssss are the reason that if there is a dispute I will not be reading that persons blog. If the best we can do around here to get clicks is create an atmosphere of nastiness then we all need to sit down and rethink how and why we are doing things around here.

Masky...Am I wrong, or do these wars seem a tad trivial unless we
are directly involved? lol
Really, this sounds like it got pretty twisted. I think I was told about this by a friend who witnessed it. Although I didn't realize it was this bad.

I missed out on all this as I was moving and my computer hadn't been connected but I have heard about some of this mess. So she was using it to get clicks and views to be number one not once thinking she could get banned.
