Friday Frustrations: Really?

So I've been blogging and social networking for years now, and one thing I've noticed about all of the different social networks is that there are these people. You know the ones. They like to get all territorial and preachy about the way they think things should be run on the social networks that they happen to be playing in. They like to create rules. They like to offer "advice" even though you haven't asked. And if they don't like the way you do things they make a big speech and get you the only way they know how, with the big scary block.

Here's the thing.

These are social networks, the key word being social. And for me social involves hanging with my friends, my peeps, or my tweeps. And it's supposed to fun.

And if you don't like the way I have fun, you don't have to follow. No really. It's OK. Not everybody has to like the way I do things. It's cool. Just block me and be done with it. I don't need to know why.

Here's a little secret for ya, shhhhhhh...I don't really care why.

Oh and one more thing, why is it that these bossy people always seem to finish their "I'm cutting you off speech" with the "I'm sorry you're offended" line.

Dude, really? Really dude? Really?

Geez. Learn how to apologize for being so bossy. Tip one: An apology never involves trying to make the person you're apologizing to feel inferior. Never.
