How blogs can be so different.....

It's funny how different two blogs can be.

Television Without Pity recently closed down one of it's threads about reality TV. Namely the one about the Real Housewives of New York. It is the second or third time that has happened to that thread. Mainly because it is moderated by a douche called TWPHoward who is a fucking moron. They have an anal desire to control everything. Every post is evaluated and every comment moderated. You can get banned for just talking about reality TV in a way that they do not approve of in some way.

On the other hand LynnNChicago talked about everything and had a freewheeling and rowdy comment section. She had epic fights with Jill Zarin and other reality personalities. She was a "real" person with faults and good points and everything that went with a real personality. But she didn't block people and ban them from her site.

Of course she is gone now and the TWOP douches are making money hand over fist.

That's the way of the world I guess.

Television without pity is the worst website on the internet!

Television without pity is the worst website on the internet. Not because of the content which can be pretty good. But because of the amount of control that is excercised by the moderators.

I was banned twice under two different screen names. You see they want you to only talk about the episode. And only talk about what happened on a specific episode. Otherwise they savagely delete you, yell at you, warn you to stop and then ban you from posting. It can be simpliest thing. Yesterday I put up this post:

"I feel bad for Kim(Richards). I hope she finds help now and that she gets off the show because it seems to suck out her soul.

And I missed last week. Did Brandi get Botox on her nipples?"

Now the point of this post was the joke about Brandies nipples. You see in the previous episode she didn't wear a bra and Kyle Richards was making fun of her and pointed her laser pointer at her nipples and made fun of her. This week she didn't wear a bra in Vegas and her nips were as large and hard as Jerry Sundusky at a Cub Scout Jamobree. So I thought it was kind of a funny joke. But it was deleted.

You see Kim went to rehab this week and they demanded that no one talk about it because it wasn't shown on the episode. They are so fuckin' anal and so on top of every post that they deleted it even though a couple of other posters picked up on the nipple joke and made a few of their own. Supposedly TWOP is about snark. But it is only their approved snark. They don't like what they don't control. They watch everything like a hawk and delete what seems like every other post. Either the whole post or they "snip" out a piece of it. That is no way to live. It really sucks. You bring some funny and they cut it out to control things. It is a sign of weakness. Of fear. Of being a control freak anal douchebag. It seems to be going around. Why would you want to delete an innocent joke or even an not so innocent joke. Who tries to control everything to such an infintismal degree?

Douchenozzles that's who.

It's enough to make any self-respecting person quit the site.

I am in control here!

So I was finally reinstated on TWOP after I had been suspended for my "out of line" comments.

Here are the comments:

It is amazing to me how many people enjoy pointing out what a mess Kim Richards has become is in their eyes. Now I know she will never be as articulate as Teresa of New Jersey or as classy as Tamara of the OC or as loyal a friend as Nene of Atlanta. She will never have as happy a marriage as Vicki of the OC or be as talented as Kim of Atlanta or treat people as kindly as Jill of NYC. So the fact that she might enjoy a cocktail or two and be a little fuzzy at details like calling to RSVP on super important Wednesday afternoon barbeques is reason enough to heap criticism and shame on her head. There is no doubt that she should be the target of opprobrium because she did not take that golden opportunity to see Paul without his undershirt.

When it is all said and done I don't think we will see Kim force a man to spend his fortune to support a bogus lifestyle to the point where he would hang himself. A little perspective might be in order. Just sayn'

It seems to me that turning the focus to Kim's piddling issues and not so unusual behavior moves the discussion away from the elephant in the room. I bet the show will continue to focus on it by reediting the footage to avoid the questions involving Taylor and Russell and Bravo's responsibility if any in the upcoming tragedy.

Their strategy seem to be working. Maybe Kim will forget to mail out a Thank You card next week and we can all call for her to be incarcerated.

I'm much more sympathetic to someone who is kind and shy and socially awkward and "medicates" for it, than I am to someone like Kyle who has no excuse for the way she acts--and the "I'm bitchy because I'm tired of Kim's problems" doesn't work for me either because...Kyle's that way to others as well, often completely unprovoked (as with Lisa).

This is right on the money. Look at how Kyle went right after the new kids Brandi and the other one (tiara girl). What did they ever do to her? I agree that Kim has a problem with groups and is very anxious.....you can see it in her face and in every talking head. But she seems like a very nice albeit damaged girl and I would much rather have her not show up at one of my parties now and again than have the rest of these women show up and attack everyone else in sight.

But I am a big fan of Kim's and that colors everything in my eyes. So keep bashing away and enjoy yourselves.

So these are the offending posts that caused me to be suspended. Here is what the Nazi moderator had to say:


All of these posts are [mr]boards on boards[mr] and argumentative. If you disagree with others, great, but please just say so and why instead of telling other people how they should feel, or attack them for holding a different opinion from yours. It’s never appropriate to call out other posters or aim sarcasm at them, either. If you have that much difficulty disagreeing with someone and still staying within the rules, then take a break until you can.

Since you’ve been warned about this before, and since you derailed the thread with multiple rule-breaking posts, I’m suspending you for three days to give you a chance to regroup. Posts deleted

Now I don't think any of these posts are out of line. It is my usual post ironic ball busting voice. Very toned down in fact. But the moderator has to control every jot and tittle of the boards. This goes to Tim's point about moderation. I would never moderate my comments. I believe in the full and frank posting of ideas. Except for someone who spews hate and racism like J. Anyone who has read his stuff knows what I mean. So I am deleting him. Very reluctantly. But I am doing it all the same.

I will not be posting again at TWOP. If they value my contributions so lightly than they do not deserve to have it. You should realize that when someone deletes you like that you are not wanted.

It's not hard to take a hint.

You are never going to tweak in the bathroom in Beverly Hills again!

Tonight is the next installment of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the coming attractions are very interesting. It seems that one of the new girls Brandi is going to call out Kim Richards and call her a drug addict and drunk. Now that might very well be true and maybe Kim is wrong for going on TV where all this is going to come out. I don't know. I do know that I have a soft spot for Kim and hate how all the others gang up on her and smack her around when there are obviously rephrensible turds like Taylor Armstrong who spent so much of her husbands money that he ended up killing himself. Kim just likes to get high. Like a lot of us.

So I had been defending Kim on the boards of Television Without Pity. I had already been banned there prevously but I went back and tried to live by their rules. Which are very arbitary and stupid. I mean my posts and snark brought out a lot of other activity and posts which I thought was the whole idea. But they suspended my account. I guess for something but I don't know what. They really are little Nazi's over there. But that seems to be the trend everywhere that bloggers want to micromanage and control their comments. It seems totally against what blogging should be about. The free exchange of ideas. I mean I was only sticking up for a poor drunken ex child star. And I got suspended.

Oh well. Just another place to not go to anymore. I don't care if they reinstate me. That was another one of those studied insults you know. Time to move on down the highway.

You are a Prostitution Whore!

Sorry that the posting has been light but I have been very busy. The store is busy, the Yankees are playing, the Giants are winning and I have been busy posting on all the sites about the various Real Housewives franchises.

We have to keep our priorities straight.
