It was a general point being made and how we saw it in a discussion we had.

Those who do join any particular following and do not have a genuine interest or really care, move onto the next thing. After all, why do most people blog? If no one wanted traffic to their site, why bother to have site meters, Its about advertising yourself, your ideas and most would make the most of opportunities to have your posts out there. It is fair to say, not everyone is the same, lots are genuine, some too full of their own importance and then those who do enjoy the networking of the blogosphere, appreciating and respecting differences of opinion.<BR/>I need a glass of water after all that, LOL.Nunyaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627939958188041617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655026.post-81258433175079082512008-06-24T23:53:00.000+01:002008-06-24T23:53:00.000+01:00Yes I think I know what you are saying!My thoughts...Yes I think I know what you are saying!<BR/><BR/>My thoughts...<BR/><BR/>No one should feel a sense of duty just to join a campaign. Campaigning takes up a lot of time, energy and ultimately is very draining. I know all about this!<BR/><BR/>I blog about campaigns but I am just blogging about the stuff I am involved in and just raising awareness of why it matters to me. I don't expect anyone to join me in the campaign.<BR/><BR/>As to the other point you mention, friends are friends and will always try and help each other out xxCherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655026.post-19467865961575082032008-06-24T23:36:00.000+01:002008-06-24T23:36:00.000+01:00James,I have a horrible feeling that I may be one ...James,<BR/><BR/>I have a horrible feeling that I may be one of the bloggers to whom you refer. If I am I'd really appreciate your letting me know.<BR/><BR/>What do I hope other bloggers will do regarding my campaign for Mrs Carr? <BR/><BR/>Obviously I hope others will agree, from my description of events, that Mrs Carr has been treated appallingly badly. Our gripe is with NHS Lothian but I have few visitors from Scotland far less Lothian. Writing to NHS Lothian or to MSP's is pointless from non-Scottish resident bloggers but publicisng the campaign - even if abroad - can increase the spread of the campaign and increase the chances that UK / Scottish media and politiicans will pick up on the story in a way that I can't achieve on my own. I suppose this is viral marketing.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, James. I can't finish tis comment. I keep falling asleep.CalumCarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225196825182106348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655026.post-80577883141865900702008-06-24T17:23:00.000+01:002008-06-24T17:23:00.000+01:00Exactly why I chose to discontinue pontificating a...Exactly why I chose to discontinue pontificating at large about MS - spreading the word is one thing: expecting a reaction is another. I knew I was better to move onto other, less demanding, areas of interest and have a bit of fun too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
