I still don't get it


OK....I've posted similarly to this before, but the confusion continues.

I swear some people don't actually read posts before replying. Yes they read with their eyes, but to feel strongly enough to state an opinion, send forth congratulations or dispute a statement, in my opinion, one must actually take in what he reads.

This is my friend so I must reply something. This is a popular post so I must get my name out there. This post is too long so I'll just skim over it and post something somewhat relevent to the title.

I really don't know the reasons. Maybe it's because many people just don't fully comprehend what they read. Maybe it's ME who isn't comprehending. I know I've posted and have been rebutted.

What I do know is...I've read a post, read the replies, and then have gone back to read, read and re-read the original post because the replies don't seem to match the opinions asked and the sentiment sometimes doesn't match the implied sentiment of the original blogger.

As a langugage major, if I saw a post related to math and/or science, I'd skip right over it because all the re-reading in the world would not penetrate my thick skull.

Anyway..I am not generalizing. This is not BC as a whole...this is not every blog and blogger as a whole. This, of course, is not everyone. Of course I'm not the only appropriate responder. Actually, I may not have ever posted anything appropriate. It's in the eyes of the beholder. Maybe the responders know more of the story so the puzzle fits for them. Since I'm not exceptionally close with anyone here, perhaps I'm just out of the loop, therefore; I'm lost in a swirling of words.



I don't know. Enlighten me.

I love sprouts too!!



But really, I think it depends very much on personalities as well. Some people like to read and think about their posts, others just post what comes into their heads...that's the beauty of it...so much variety! For the extrovert personality, it's always fun to post something, just to be 'involved'. For the introvert personality, often more thought is put into it all...

Well, I don't read all what is posted. It has to catch me at the begining. At the most or least, the first three sentences must have that "hook", if not, I speed-read it through. It's a matter of context. You have a great style of your own in writing, however, it will not always have an impact on everyone that may read a post of your's. That is the case for all writers. I mean, come on, do you actually read every text that you yourself set your eyes on? If it doesn't catch you, you will move on to the next entry. Isn't that true? It happens with all bloggers. So, I think that variety of context is good to keep readers.

I just started my blog. I don't write everyday because I just don't have something that I feel is worth posting. I will have to learn how to have my readers enjoy the text they see.

Of course there's not a requirement to reflect upon every word in every blog. But if it's one you want to just scan over...like we all do....why bother responding?

On the other hand. I've responded and clicked send then realized that I forgot to add things that tie it together with the original post and then i just say...Eh, forget it. LOL
