Attention: We are retiring the ASP.NET Community Blogs. Learn more >

I have been quiet...

I have not blogged here in a while, nor have I blogged on my personal site.  Why, two-fold.  One, I just hired a .net developer and I have been very busy with ramp up and training.  Hopefully, he will be blogging here soon, Bill Sanders.

Secondly, and probably the main reason, I have received some rude comments and e-mails about my blogs.  Most of which were out right obnoxious and rude.  Stuff like "Hey jerk..." and "You are a poor developer if you post that".  I have also received some e-mails that imply I am too chatty.  With all that said, I have been somewhat turned-off to blogging, realizing the 'global/public' nature of the whole thing. 

I was having a lot of fun sharing and writing.  However, a few inconsiderate, selfish, pigheaded folks have made me take a step back and re-visit the whole idea of blogging.  I honestly do not have the time or patience to respond to these types of e-mails nor am I happy that folks feel the need to attack.  It simply makes no sense, and by being silent I do not have to deal with it.  BTW, this also applies to LISTSERVS, mainly the DevelopMentor ones.  I love reading them and I love replying and posting.  However, same thing.  I few folks decided to send me e-mails implying I am too chatty.  So, I am walking away from all this for a while.

  • Don't pay attention to those idiotic imbeciles. The world is full of stupid people...and you are not one of them. Just blow them off, don't pay any attention to what they say. In fact, you should publicly refute them on your blog. Post about what they say...chances are most of us will agree with you rather than them. :)

  • PLEASE keep blogging.


    I like your stuff, I *love* the chatty style. It gets boring reading "This is a cool article" type blog entries, its a nice change to have someone who puts more than 4 words together.


    Why do you think Chris from Lockergnome got so popular? Anyone can throw together a newsletter with links to cool apps, but not everyone can make it entertaining and interesting to read. Same thing with your blog.


    PLEASE keep blogging!


  • Btw - after reading my last comment, I'm forming the opinion that I can't type or spell very well when I'm a little drunk :)
