Due to the proliferation of contact lenses and the introduction of lasix surgery, the number of people wearing eyeglasses has dropped by 18.21 percent since 1972.
okay, okay, okay,
lets pretend that you're the navy and I'm the marines, okay?
And instead of whomping the snot out of each other for a change, we go after a common enemy...
okay? work with me for a minute???
-you can even call me romeo if you want...
And your stuff isn't crap.
even if it is, it still has a right to be here.
(I still don't think it's crap...
not all of it,
well,
not most of it....
at least it's easier to read than mine.. how's that.. okay?)
damn near a compliment, Christmas is coming.
That which makes us vulnerable to such moves as 'monoxydil-bong' or what ever their name is, (my apologies to anyone who has that real name, I probably just butchered it, accidently...)
-the same thing that allows all the 'drive by sniping' at my writing, any comments made by anyone, anyone at all...
Is what makes this site great.
-I think I've seen (seriously,) one major edit on this site in, um, what... almost three quarters of a year? ---and that was over a comment posted on a picture of a person, and the site steward, wrote down that they did not wish to see a defamation suit or liabel suit or something of that nature...
-which was smart.
Pulling the stuff from every last moment of a slow boat to china accomplishes nothing.
WHY?
Most of the viewers and writers of this site will go after the topics, the comments, and engage in the conversations as best as they are able, and duke it out on the board fair and square.
(Even me, who appears to be wandering around drunk with a thesaurus? It's just a writing style, I'm going after a point, a perspective, and a circumstance.
(Going after a person, though it may be funner than anything, rarely accomplishes much at all.)
Sometimes people get stuck in ruts of being ignant to each other, but for the most part? It's a debate at worst, and an 'I Love Fresno because' -at best.
THAT's ALL FRESNO... 'unnastand?
Most serious writers here?
-also know how to size up who they are talking to and about...
-all have our off days, but we all know how to play within the lines.
I've had people who probably can't stand what I write jump in to defend, if somebody got below the belt...
and I've done the same for them..
(hint: I'm not Roman Catholic... my views of Mary are not the same as Loyola's.. --but I was defending the persons right to have a view...
-How'd that all play out?
-Who did Loyola ultimately complement as to being credible in their stances?
--the one who he was arguing with the heaviest...
See? no blood, no need for six strong men to carry the box, just a solid honest discussion.
Just as there truly are very few things that warrant two people actually beating the shit out of each other over,
-there are few times when comments need to be pulled.
Some folks didn't get that. (Which is okay, I guess.)
--you (personally,) could believe strongly that snap-crackle-and pop are going to get you through every hurdle in life, and state that every last store in Fresno needs to sell rice crispies...
---if someone starts to jam your face in the mud and calling your gramma nasty names?
They're toast.
Even I'd defend you... It's not right.
The China stuff?
is spam.
maybe it was stupid spam, maybe it was ingenius spam...
(it threw my blog off the charts... That may have been the goal, ---it may have not been, who knows?
Who Cares?
What do we do?
Nothing...
The Ghost of Al Radka posted the (only,) response, called them a 'kook' and told them to 'go away.'
(...brilliant, and quite funny. The cavalry kicked some ass, we're done here, we move on.)
Jarah and Suzi can go ripping stuff out because it's spam, or they can leave it in, because it's (probably,) easier to just run it over, and move on...
We learn to cope with those things that we don't like
-by doing JUST THAT, accepting them, coping with, out-witting them, or annihilating them.
We learn nothing by having 'someone remove it because we don't like it.'
Plain and simple.
I will say this again: It is not the mark of intelligent and creative society to NOT hear the comments of all.
It is the mark of intelligent and creative society to hear all, and work with any comment accordingly...
It's a little more freestyle than you (or a lot of people,) may be comfortable with,
--but the site needs to constantly show that it's open to whatever Fresno is, and is becomming.
That's why I don't really care about the actual postings from China...
-What I care about is that folks feel that they have some sort of right to comment about this place, as they see fit,
-even if I don't like it, and can't for the life of me, see why it has anything to do with Fresno.
It will level itself out, I promise you,
Fresno Famous will not go down the tubes because 'evrybody,' is allowed to post here...
It's bigger than the both of us, tiger, and we just have to face that...
-okay, your lead,
they're playing Wayne Newton anyway,
and I know how much his songs mean to you...
(Personally, a bunch of footballers on the ice would be kind of dull after a few incidents ---but replacing a puck with a football? NOW we're talking, at least I'll be able to see the blasted thing...)
Dude. Romeo. This has NOTHING to do with free speech.
I come to Fresno Famous to find out about life in FRESNO. Not to read random crap. I know my stuff may be crap too, but at least it falls under the "life in Fresno" website guidelines.
If I go to a hockey game and all of a sudden a bunch of football players run onto the ice, I'd be pissed and tell somebody to get these fools off the ice and play some hockey.
Not really sure of it, but I think it's based upon the amount of times you post or write...
The Chinese post was a lot of material, ----
(or)
were they someone who changed their name, entered a bunch of stuff, and then showed up on the roster as 'that,' new name...?
mystery to me...
I was usually nose to nose with J Patrick, but then he didn't write for a long time, (and was still listed...)
Not such a big deal really, (the top ten,) -the Spam Bot's o China? yeah, but what are you gonna do...
and then there's messing with the blog counter. How does that thing work anyway(s)?
It apparently tallies words and photos of Chinese villages. It must not be from visits (not hits Jarah!). Or are we getting an influx of unique visits from China...maybe the Chinese would come to the Fulton mall at night?

Fresno: Garden City under the Sierra Nevadas
One of the things that makes Fresno Famous great is that anyone can truly write anything, and frequently anyone DOES...
(heck, I got called 'a piece of shit,' and a 'hypocritical dickhead' -and that was on a tuesday morning... (one of the funniest episodes on this channel yet...)
-and then you got folks who post their event stuff in triplicate and worse...
You're a hockey fan,,, the ice can be rough sometimes...
-With freedom and openness comes opportunity for all...
-Do I always like it?
Nah...
-Do I want it?
Absolutely, --because the opposite of it is (truly,) censorship and somebody deciding what is 'Fresno-Centric,' and what is not...
(bit of an old squabble between two rivals, eh, smiler?)
I personally don't see much of Fresno in all of those posts, (I'll give you that, In fact, I don't see much of anything in them...)
-and it was probably some SpamBot
(or vigilant Travel Agent half a world away up when we're sleeping...)
-or maybe it was a halloween prank.
who knows...
But in the grand scheme?
You either have free speech
or you don't.
I'll go for the free speech, and defend the rights of some bozo to tell us more about the Far East than I really care to know at the moment...
(no offence intended towards bozos, clowns, circus people, people who wear way too much make-up, oversized shoes, red-frightwigs, polka-dots, (or) the Chinese...)
(...besides, cheer up, look who's blog they knocked off the chart? (that was a helluva lot of writing, 'cause I usually drop phonebooks just to say goodmorning...)
-I thought you, Oz and the Beav. would be dancing on the ceiling to Lionel Richey...
(...I'm truly touched that you noticed... really, you shouldn't have... you proposin' next?
-do I need to go put on a clean shirt or somthin?...I'm gettin' all choked up over here,
-ya big lug...)
can you give some examples? as an active member of this online community, i want to keep this environment healthy, and devoted to its intentions, but also allow for growth. i think you are as well.
what, particularly, do you see happening that is shanghai'ing FF?

It became Shanghai Famous, I think, the moment people stopped respecting the Fresno-centric blogs and forums and started to use them instead for bad public relations writing.
I liked them...

I think it's time for Jarah or Suzi to step in and pull those blogs from "moxiaobing" - the police never seem to be around when you need them.
They're jackin' up the FF Blogger top ten, we can't be havin' that!

Blogspot, moxiaobing. It's called Blogspot.
