Am I expected to know ALL the posts that have gone up before mine???


I don't understand why some people look for fights. Yesterday I had those nasty words on one of my posts, and wrote a new post about that. Today, I'm under fire by someone who I have liked since I started blogging.

I only started blogging in 2015. I put up a blog about Bill Cosby. I happen to think he's guilty. Am I positive, no. Is it likely he's innocent? I would say no. Anyhow it turns out that another blog about Bill Cosby was written Dec 2014. I DIDN'T know. I really didn't. It happens. I saw a picture put up by 2 members this week. The SAME picture. I am sure the 2nd poster had no idea it was up. We can't know EVERY post that ever came up here. Are we expected to?

For some reason, the person who put up the previous post, started bragging on how many viewers and comments she had on hers. Today she stated mine is inferior. I don't get why someone would do that. I went to her blog to check it out and saw that her view was he was innocent until proven guilty. That's fair to believe that. She is very much entitled to her beliefs. I don't agree in Bill Cosby's case, due to the sheer number of accusers, some of which seem very reputable to me (ex: Mrs. Ladd that doesn't want money or anything else.). Anyhow I put my answer on her blog and responded to something someone else wrote. I copied and pasted it on mine, only because she referred to her previous post on my blog. It was my reply to her comment. For some reason, she is taking it as an attack and someone on her blog today implied I copied her post. That bothers me since I did no such thing.

Anyhow the real point of this post is to say that IF I happen to blog about the same thing any of you already have, trust me, it wouldn't be intentional. I try to be original. At least my vacation pictures are safe. Sorry, trying to find some humor in this.

I keep rereading what was said by her today in my blog, and I may be wrong but I think she's upset that I disagreed with her stand on Bill Cosby in her blog. I hope I am wrong. When I write something you have the right to disagree with me but I hope you'll give your opinion on why. I don't consider it disrespectful to have a difference of opinion. I think I might have been the first to disagree with her on her blog and she's angry about it.

Thanks Bob. In this case though, I REALLY didn't know it was blogged about before.

Thanks very much for saying that, Dan. I do like her so I hope she realizes that just because I didn't agree with her opinion on Bill Cosby, in no way did I mean disrespect against her.

I agree with Dan.

Stop worrying about what others post, or comment.

Just do your own thing!!

btw: I think that we need a couple of new fonts.....one for sarcasm, and one for 'hey, I'm joking' .

I hope you meant what she said. Honestly, I'm confused by what she wrote so I'm not 100% sure what she's angry about.

No, I haven't. I really didn't know about her blog. It was before I started blogging here. Thanks for your response though.

I'm trying to do just that, Rocket. She implied that I had an issue with you (I assume based on her comment " "Whether you are or are not allergic to some") but as you know, I haven't. You've been very nice. Thank you.

    I know I certainly can't keep up with all the blogs! As far as opinions go -- well -- everyone has them.

    That's why I like to read blogs in the first place. I like to hear them. Both sides!


I feel the same. Thanks Spunky.

I'm not used to someone getting so upset because I disagreed with her stand and put my opinion on her blog. It might be because I wrote about the same topic, which I didn't know she wrote about. I'm not really sure why she got upset.

I guess when someone calls my post "inferior" to theirs or starts bragging how they had more viewers or comments and quoting their stats, which I think is uncalled for, I get a bit touchy. I'll try my best to not let things get to me in the future but as you said, it took you years, earthytaurus3.
