Status update: I am not a troll. 

Today, I sniffed my own farts and felt that they were far superior to everyone else's. So I guess my @#%# doesn't stink.

I doubt the Boy Scout got in trouble and please save posts like these for your Facebook account and circle of friends who also love "slice of life" postings. 

I agree with this poster in other threads, but this was too preachy for my tastes to end up on a local blog. Why don't I start posting my interactions with the local community on political and social matters?

I will go "f" myself. I just feel that this site can at times seem like someone's personal Facebook page as opposed to a blog of local events and happenings. I get tired of some people's constant Facebook posts on political matters, but this post takes on a tone that is what I call, "The Fart Sniffer Tone." I think it was South Park that ripped on it best, but I think blogs are becoming passe as Facebook has grown. 

I usually keep my mouth shut, but this was too much. At least take the time to research your own thread as opposed to just asking someone else to do it for you. The way it read was less blog and more status update in my view.

Go ahead and post more things like this and I may keep my mouth shut, but I had to say it just once as blogs are going downhill fast. 

So today I walked up to someone on the street and gave them a hard time to press my own political beliefs upon them. I refused to pay them for their fundraising services because I felt I had the higher ground. While yes, I did use their service that they were doing to raise money for probably a worthy cause, I refused to give money to said cause because of my own personal views of their association's beliefs regarding an issue that is important to me.

If you flat out refused the bagging of the groceries and made a point to bag your own it would make sense. Instead, you had them bag them for you and then said, "When your organization's stand on gay rights changes, I'll give you all the money I have."

So can we assume that when the day comes that the Boy Scouts change their stance that you will give them ALL THE MONEY YOU HAVE? Can we hold you to that statement?

I don't mean to be a troll, but when you post something like this on a blog it opens it up to the world.

Call it boredom, call it humor, or call me wrong; either way it is all in good fun. Thank you Herzog for seeing it for what it is.

If you put something out there for the world to see you must be prepared for feedback. While many people saw it as a moment to spew their biases and affirmations upon the viewpoint of the poster, I was seeing it from a different side. 

What is the difference between a blog and a facebook update today? Does the anonmitity of a blog allow for a different form of speech still? When some people know who you are on a blog and others do not, doesn't that almost bully participants through exclusion? 

I didn't really care about the original post because it was lazy to begin with, but it got me thinking about what a blog is, what should be classified as another facebook update, or if PDD was something larger. 

It is all in good fun though, keep sniffing!

Conrad: You end your statement with advice that you should also heed... You sound like a fart-sniffer to me.

I would like to avoid you the same way you avoid Boy Scouts. Geez, they are young boys doing good will to toward their fellow man.

This thread is legendary.
