Mushy Swearing And A 1000 Damnations
I have been following 1000brownmnms for a few weeks now. I enjoy the way Martin Marcus writes (I still can't bring myself to call him Dr Martin Marcus). I have posted a few comments and must say that I have found it hard to not feel hypocritical when talking to or about the way Martin Marcus posts and the things that he says. I am often taken aback, offended, laughing and left confused on occasion. Is this not good blogging?I love miss peas and her toasty bits, I do, really. I also think that Martin Marcus went a bit far with her. End of story, that's it, it's done and that simple. It was said and it is done. That's how I feel (Peas, we spoke and we're cool).I just can't help but wonder why all the uproar? Why is everyone taking this dude so seriously? This is nothing new, the whole "lets swear a lot and blog about topical things in an adverse manner to spark reaction". I've seen it before and it's come and gone. So what makes this blog different and these swear words so potent? I am not 100% sure to be honest.My very first reaction is this: If I had thought of swearing and ranting and pissing people off I would have done it myself. Is that not what paperburner did a few years back? Miz Ritz posted on the topic a while back here and here. Then I think that any bafoon can swear and blog and it's free and easy so whatever, let the guy rant.Then I thought about the mini "outcry" that has taken place and I immediately feel the need to back up Mr 1000 rants and his Dr Martins Marcus. Why are people freaking out? Why have we made such a performance of one bloggers opinion? Is he right, is it because we all love Peas so much?? Possibly. But at the end of the day, the dude has the right to swear, rant and pretty much do what he likes. We also have the right to respond and to further rebut our positions. But let us just be honest, there are billions of blogs out there and if you don't like reading anything why do you go back? Stop reading, delete the RSS feed and let it ride.Fuckin' hate swearing on blogs.
