This is an archive collection of entries from  my main personal blog, My Mundane Mid-Life.


This particular entry is from February 24, 2003.



Cloaked

I read Robyn's blog on a very regular basis - I've said that quite a few times here. She's actually returned to blogging after a hiatus for some very good personal reasons. Unfortunately, she's going to take her personal side private to a separate website that's only for her family and friends. This, to me, is not too big of a deal since I am neither (though I will miss hearing about that part of her life), but the thing that really pisses me off is that I feel that she's being forced to do it from the blogtrolls out there. She's been attacked way the hell too many times via comments and email, from people that are just plain mean. It sickens me to see people getting forced-out like this, under the veil of "If you write about your private life on the web, then you better be ready to let people express their opinions about your actions" crap. That's Bull, my friend. Just because someone writes about very personal matters doesn't give the right to any troll passing by to attack you. Just STFU and move on. So now, Robyn has cloaked her personal life from us "blog friends" and regular readers. I will surely miss that, though I will continue to read her mssives on her original site. (I'll miss that "personal touch.") (BTW, I love Quinn's little photo dedication).

Comments on this entry

Unfortunately this went way beyond rude blog comments. There are at least four entries (plus the comments) by more than one author at 8bitjoystick.com since Friday -- ranging in topic from "karma for her is a motherf*cker" (referring to my miscarriage, and that somehow I deserved it for banning certain people who have commented and deleted their comments in the past), the fact I'm a stripper and a whore from the breast-a-thon charity drive, and also a link to Midol.com for my "hormonal imbalances" (also e-mailed to me) -- as I'm still physically miscarrying, mind you.

There got to be a point where Todd and I were only going through this continued, additional pain because I allowed us to do so. The ends did not justify the means -- and my blogging life was permanently altered.

You can go after a lot of things in my life. A lot of them, probably deservedly so. But my two dead babies are not -- and will never be -- one of them.

Thanks for a great entry! -R
