- Go to Did this blogger sell out then???.....................................
lol maybe...
we all have different standarts, but i think a majority of bloggers would agree with my definition of a bullshit post...BIG HEADLINE empty content lol many clicks and NOTHING inside
a sellout is also what i'd call a "clickwhore" haha

Good thoughts here...
Entertainment is part of the reason people read isn't it. So, meatless isn't necessarily vegetarian...it's more like dessert!

I guess there's a time and a place
for fluff and serious stuff. Sometimes, I feel like a let down when I post light stuff, kind of like it's not what people are expecting. However, I don't waste time thinking about it, since it's not possible to write the same thing everyday. Sometimes coffee, sometimes tea!

So true Quirky
I offer an apology in my latest journal post because it is a change from my usual fare. Don't know why.
Meatless posts are fun to write and to read and often easier to digest.

a sold out...
is a person that has exploited all his/her stuff and has nothing else to express but bullshit posts or news...if the blogger you mentioned corresponds to that definition, then yes he/she is a sold out...

A menu that doesn't change means I move on to a different cafe. I like variety. Conversely, if the cafe has a dish that just does it for me, I'll go back and back forever.

Frivolity is a very individual thing. I find it gets me back in balance if a lot of serious things have been going on. For example, a while back I had been helping to care for someone who was dying. A few days later I went to a party I'd been invited to becasue I needed to tip the balance back.
I think that frivolity in writing is much needed. It is possible even in writing serious stuff to highlight life's absurdities. To be truly frivolous it must be not be unkind

I PAY THEREFORE I BLOG
That presumes that posting isn't frivolous
and blogging isn't frivolous
and writing isn't frivolous
and I apologize for the frivolousness of this comment.
Here is a quote… I pay therefore I blog as I chose.

Isn't that the point? Sometimes I want fluff... sometimes not.
I think people should post whatever they want... but should also allow others to do the same without criticism for it.
