The login account will be reactivated now.
I will be traveling for a bit and don't want to have to worry about this site while away.
As a result, I am making these requests in addition to the normal rules:
1) For now, do not discuss or debate the current Anonyblog 'crisis' with posts back and forth, please use the comments thread of this entry if you feel such a need. New readers and those not involved cannot make sense of such things. Again, my goal is for new and casual readers to feel free to post without having to wade through much of this type of 'discussion'.
2) For now, limit yourself to one post a day. While some may have interesting material that might warrant more posts per day, too often multiple posting has become abusive and the cause of trouble.
3) Be respectful of each other. Please refrain from post deletion or other 'vigilante' tactics. Some may feel that this is helping, but in actuality, it causes me trouble.
And lastly, in an Anonyblog style entry from the Admin, a short topic to consider:
In the last 2 weeks four people I work with have died, some suddenly and without warning. That gives me pause to remember that life can be fleeting and you should not put off until tomorrow things that can be done today. My suggestion is that you take the time today to call your familiy or those you consider as close as family and say hello. Nothing dramatic, but enough to let those that you care about know that you care about them and were thinking of them.
Posted by Admin at October 18, 2006 9:31 AMAdmin, I am truly sorry to read of your losses, please accept my sympathies. I know how it is to lose loved ones. I will do my best to abide by the rules you have stated. I do not wish to cause you any trouble. Thank you for reactivating the account.
Yours Respectfully,
Master Chef Vapor
WHAT IS ANONYBLOG?
In my opinion, this is a blog-site. It is not only a web-log posted for reading and commenting but a place to blog and I thought blogging was posting writings in a web-log. Therefore, people come here to write and post anonymously. What I have observed here lately is people who do not like what they are reading are taking out their hostility on the posters they do not agree with. These people have taken upon themselves to edit what we all can and cannot read here. The sad thing is that I feel that I have been cheated and kept from reading posts and comments that I might have found interesting. These people do this because they have nothing to blog about. These people feel powerful when they delete and change the posts of others. In their simple minds, all these people can do is hate and criticize. If these people would simply post something, anything, I would be surprised. They have no life and they come here to read the miserable blogs that others post. These people want to read about the two timing wife or husband who is fucking their spouses’ best friend. They want to read about the teen that has acne or the introvert who cannot leave their house without having a panic attack. They want to read about the young woman who has met a young man on the internet and does not know how to handle the relationship. These people then offer comments and advice, since they seem to be well experienced in these miserable matters. The thing that is most interesting is these people only respond to misery and what they find disgusting. Why won’t these people post any of their own blogs? I think the reason they do not post anything is that they are barren, the lights are on but no one is home. If these people posted their own blogs, it would balance the board. Their idea of balance is to pick a fight with others that they do not agree with by making a “your crap and disgusting filth does not belong here” post, or make a post about how they encourage their poor dog to lick peanut butter from their genitals.
I think this site is alive and well. There is plenty of life here and I am not here to critique the posts that others make. If I do not like a post, I may leave a short comment and then I move on. I do not start some crusade against the poster and any other poster that I think they may be associated with, I just move on. The haters need to re-focus their energy, and they seem to have plenty of it, on more civil things. These people should come up with some original posts and stop “riffing “off of the posts made by people they do not agree with. Do not get me wrong, a good string of posts and comments debating subjects is a good thing. All of this arguing and fighting about who should and should not be allowed to post here is juvenile. Let us read some of these peoples’ posts that are not about getting rid of what they do not like on Anonyblog. It seems as though that is all these people have to blog about. We all have a blank page here, let’s do something with it. The complaining is as much of a waste of time as these peoples’ claim the posts they do not agree with are. I do not care if these people do not find my posts acceptable. What matters is that the posts and comments along with other actions taken here (such as managing and editing your own blog) comply with the rules set forth by the Admin. If these people want to keep on fighting, it is their choice. It is just a waste of time. I would rather debate some current issues or the difference between sugar and Splenda.
What I am trying to say is, why do we have to fight? It only gives the post-deleting password-changing idiot fertile ground for its antics. Last night I posted, in a comment, methods for keeping access to this site when the post-deleting, password-changing idiot goes on a rampage. I can only hope that this offering shows my loyalty to Anonyblog and demonstrates that I am not here to disrupt the site. I like it here and look forward to reading, commenting and posting every day.
Thank you for your time,
Chef Vapor
The KodyBear offers his condolences for your loss and wishes you safe travel.
Posted by: at October 18, 2006 10:37 AM I believe now that Admin has put everyone on "time out" so that the "bickering" can play it'self out in the comment area. Apparently I was correct.
I hope that by now it is clear that Indy The Great is far from gone. Also I hope that his recent post was enjoyed by all. An attempt to antagonize? Probably not. A creative writing exercise? Perhaps. Does he really care what your opinion is? I think not. He is in the slot. In the tube man. Just wants to blog and have fun at it. The censorship faction are the true criminals.They know who they are.They have no original train of thought or contribution or they would have demonstrated that by now. At times when thoughtful debate is the best option their response is most often limited to the deletion of content or disabling the site.
This site has gone through a great metamorphosis in the last few months. Now there are colorful,creative characters blogging for the enjoyment of writing. Why do they do it? Well the more one writes the better one gets at it on multiple levels.Spelling,vocabulary,grammar and descriptive techniques all improve rapidly. Computer skills in many areas also improve rapidly. I have learned much by posting here. I realize I may be talking over the heads of the censorship faction but Bear with me. Yes it is true rules have been broken. I remember images unsuitable for children on two occasions,the "chocolate girl" and the "pig anus." Any others I am unaware of. There was a brief period of "flooding the board". It didn't last long and ceased at Admin's request. By far the bulk of infractions regarding the clearly stated rules have been perpetrated by the censorship faction. Posts that break no rules get deleted and edited at an alarming rate on a daily basis. I submit to you all that this is being done by juveniles. I cannot imagine many intelligent adults conducting themselves in this manner. I have no delusions that these childish tactics will cease.
Thank you Admin.....Admin for President.
You also have my condolences for your loss and may your travel be safe. Mr. Ignoramous
I am so sorry for your loss, Admin. Today, I attended a murder trial (don't ask, long story) and spoke with the mother of the murdered woman. This murder happened back in 1988; the perpetrators were finally brought to justice in 2001, but an ambitious lawyer managed to have one conviction overturned on a technicality. Today was the third day of the new trial for the supposed trigger man, whom I had the misfortune to know, and I believe him to be more than capable of the act. This poor woman has had to relive her daughter's death all over again, and my heart aches for her so much. The loss of loved ones forces you to face your own mortality, and no one wants to have to do that.
My condolences to you, and I wish you safe travel.

Posted by: at October 18, 2006 2:41 PMI am surprised at you DL.
I thought you were made of sterner stuff than that. Afterall with a moniker like Dragonlady one would expect a tough as nails (well, dragon-hide) attitude about life and death, and the pragmatic outlook of a long-lived magical creature about the end to life as we know it.
I am called dragonlady because I admire the dragon as a symbol of wisdom and beneficence, according to the Chinese tradition. I think that they are wondrously beautiful creatures, and I collect all manner of dragon-related items.
Tough as nails? Not me, until it comes to any threat toward my family, and then I will most certainly breathe fire!
Posted by: at October 20, 2006 12:55 PMWell what is it about your own demise that bothers you then?
If you have even a small portion of all the Chinese lore on the Dragon and its nature, you would also be aware of the cycles of existence and the impermanence of life and death as the transition of one state into another just as birth is an opposite transition.
It is most appropriate for you to breath fire on any who would threaten you or your kith and kin.
Posted by: at October 21, 2006 1:45 AMI guess that I just enjoy life too much to give it up! I'm not afraid to die so much as I don't like not knowing how or when I will, and not knowing---really KNOWING---what comes after. Of course, I realize that death is as natural as birth; I know it's all a huge circle with no real beginning and no real end. My problem is that I'm too empathetic; I feel other people's pain, sometimes as if it is my own, and I know that my demise will cause great pain to my family. But I also see that my children's and grandchildren's love for me does grant me a measure of immortality. There will always be a part of me in and with them. I'm just not ready to go yet!
Posted by: at October 21, 2006 4:48 AMSo don't go. I am sure that despite the animosity you read here sometimes no one here is that nuts (at least I hope so anyway).
How old is the grandchild?
Why?
Because they remember stuff about where they are coming from best. The child has to trust you will not be making fun of him or her above all do not expect for it to make sense.
So, okay, I won't go yet! Actually, I come from a clan of long-lived people; my paternal grandmother died at 105, and my parents are 88 and 86 and still kicking.
My beloved grandchildren are 16 (boy), 14 and 12 (girls). I have always been there for them, from the moments they were born (I was in the delivery room for all three). We are all very close. In fact, if I may brag a bit: the other week, in the middle of a crowded mall, in front of his girlfriend and her brother, my grandson kissed me, hugged me, and told me he loves me. It just doesn't get any better than that!
Posted by: at October 22, 2006 5:30 AMNo, I hope it gets better than that for you. I hope you get to see great grandchildren, and have them do the same.
There is a video I once saw of a young boy quietly (and on the sly-he thought) approaching the crib of his newly born sibling and asking in a quite and worried voice: "What is heaven like? I am begining to forget!"
Posted by: at October 22, 2006 7:10 AMAwww, that's sweet! And thank you for your kind wishes that I live to see my great-grandchildren. You do realize you're talking to the dragonlady, don't you? I don't think you're supposed to be nice to me...
Posted by: at October 23, 2006 2:32 PMEveryone - please be careful not to release any personal information over this web-site that could led one to find you or identify you. The OP – second and ninth commenter are all the same person. (Other identities – post deleter, Mr. crusader, Mr. FATMouth, anti-Kody clan ect.) To be more correct, those post and comments came from the same computer according to IP address – could be a couple different people typing at same computer but I sense it is one person. I had my friend over last night, who assists the FBI in identifying unifying traits of criminal activities, and she said it is one person- a male- and he is deeply deranged, psychotic and very unstable. The person becomes very distraught when he feels he has lost control. Notice his posts refer to how he is watching- will take action if he does not like what he sees. He wants others to feel threaten, that places him in a terrorist category. If he feels you do not take him seriously then he become very unstable and strikes out. My friend also said that this troubled person is probably capable of murder and quite likely has killed someone and hidden the body. Also was identified as someone who lives alone. Reminder- please be careful the troubled person IS VERY DANGEROUS. Do not empower him.
