So you may want to grab some popcorn.

If you feel the need to trash my child, my husband, or me personally, you are not welcome into our discussion.

We would appreciate you watching so you can stop listening to false renditions of our own post.

    Wow – I’m TOTALLY out of the loop (as usual). I’m proud of you for responding the way that you have. I personally don’t participate in memes, anything that is set up by someone else, etc. I tend to dance to my own “special” music (don’t ask, you really don’t want to know). That being said – I would NEVER suggest that anyone else NOT participate. Each of us has our own blog agenda, and it is up to us to decide what is right for it and what is wrong. No one has the right to judge what another person does with his/her blog.

    Hmmm…..I wonder if they’d have had the same reaction with the word “vacation” vs. “blackout,” even though the concept would have been exactly the same?

    It’s ridiculous that even had to make this vlog. I stay hidden away at my little blog the best I can to avoid the drama out there in the blogosphere, but it is freaking everywhere. If women bloggers aren’t bad talking this person and/or community, it is the next. It’s why I LOVE the MomDot forum. It’s become the ONLY community I regularly visit, and it’s drama free. Had any of the gossipers listened to the FNL, they would have heard how it all came to flourishion.

    Ya know, I am not doing the PR Blackout myself. I support you guys doing it completely, though. I mean, if these women didn’t like the idea, then don’t freaking do it. End of story. Why in the world would they create all of the drama over something they didn’t want to do. No one made them. No one twisted their arms. It’s ludicrous. The next time I see a blog and/or community run an event or meme that I don’t have the desire to participate in, should I throw a shit fit all over the freakin’ web about it? Give me a break. The answer is no. No, I won’t throw a shit fit. I will just NOT FREAKIN’ PARTICIPATE. So annoying.

    I have been trying to stay out of it and not get involved, because that is how I am with drama, but this is just too annoying. It’s making my blood boil, and I am not even one of the participants in the PR Blackout.
