Symphony,
I'm not digging you out (I'm not even really sure what you mean by that but I assume it means disparaging or some such?) Congrats on being #2--why don't you give Ariala a serious run for her money?? I think she's always up for a challenge!!

Kay,
Okay, I see your point. My new rule is that everyone can have one click trick. I just had mine. 
Ah, now I'm going to be accused of changing the rules to suit myself....
I was not at all offended or hurt by your comment, I was trying to make a joke. I don't equate my post with what is going on at Blogit at the moment.
You and I both nearly got burned at the stake for our involvement in the last plagiarism bruhaha, so I'm staying out of this one. Selfish? Sure. But I've also been dealing with the death of my beloved cat, so I no extra energy to spend worrying about the current banning/plagiarism issues.

Quirky, but you knew we would think that you were leaving Blogit. With all the stuff going, with people being banned for speaking their opinions, other people leaving because of the banning, and still other people like me who are thinking of leaving, I really thought you'd be upset at the injustice going on. Looking at all that is going on, I guess I'm the one being over-sensitive right now. I'm sorry if I offended or hurt you in anyway with the quote and the link.

Kay-Ren,
Well I suppose I'm splitting hairs by saying this, but I don't believe that was really a true "click trick." After all, what was in my headline was what I wrote about, I did have a good run and I am saying goodbye to being #2. Just because they only allow so much space for a headline, is that my fault??? If you disagree that's cool--and I'm happy to accept a flogging (just not on the face, k?).

Whew, that title worried me!
For shame, lol.
Happy to hear you're still here and more relaxed about the ranking games. Sometimes it feels like high school all over to me; the gossipy, ass & boob baring and cool chicks get the clicks. And dudes with moods rake 'em in too. You is COOL, friend. Writing and personality. I never fit into any of those categories very strongly. Just enough maybe to observe from the edges. And that can be lots of fun too!

Just for that...
I'm going to sic my click-parrot on you and click on your link 100 times! You will be number 2! Eh, what am I saying, I don't think I've ever made it to the top 20! But like you, it's nice not to care.

Go to ‘Fake Headlines’ are JUST WRONG, because they are a form of lying!
Your comment Quirky was:
Yeah, true stuff, all that! I want to read about spiders and butts, too,
and I HATE getting grape soda when the freakin' can is labeled Dr. Pepper-head. Do you think the fake headline writers don't believe they could really get people to click without the tricks??

scoop,
that is definitely the right attitude to have!! Higher rank does translate to more money but in the end, it's not going to be enough to buy anything really worth having. "Writing to express and enjoy yourself" IS truly what matters most--and you can put that into your "heart bank" and be a thousand times richer.

I don't worry about the rankings, (I would like more money though)
but I use to at one time want to climb the rankings but now write to express and enjoy myself and if people read me and like what I do, good, that means more to me. If they don't oh well there is always tomorrow. As I say Life Goes On.

Yes, paddling to stay afloat takes an awful lot of energy, and mine is better spent at other endeavors. I now dog-paddle to shore to watch the Battle Royale from my shady spot beneath a beach umbrella!!

Ariala,
I think it's safe to say, your ass is untouchable!
Not that it isn't worthy of being touched, or so I'm told...
