I made a comment on one of my articles (LONG DISCALIMER FOR THE INCREDIBLY DENSE TROLL WHO SEEMS TO BE OBSESSED WITH ME TO A FRIGHENING DEGREE: I did NOT claim to invent the phrase, ever, in any context. I did not claim that I was anywhere near or involved with inventing the phrase, ever, in any context. If you were intelligent enough to read any blogs beyond JU, you would notice that the phrase "mommy blog" is a very commonly used phrase that has basically fallen into the public domain to describe a certain type of blog, NONE of which are remotely like ANY blogs authored by any of the JoeUsers who have taken so much offense to the phrase) about "mommy blogs". The comment was an extremely sarcastic article, and anybody with an IQ high enough to know which button to press to turn their computer on should have been able to see it. The followup article I wrote on mommy blogs was posted under the "humor" section, and should have been readily identifiable as such without excessive labelling.

I'm not a fan of mommy blogs (I've already defined them, I won't repeat the definition here). Just as many mommy bloggers are not a fan of techie blogs. Or as I am not a fan of some particular movie blogs. It's not that they're inherently bad, or evil, it's just that I have better things to spend my day on than reading about your wall being smeared with feces by your bored toddler working in a new artistic medium. In fact, I really have better things to do than rant on about mommy blogs, but I'm more than a little pissed at aerosol boy and a few others, so you're going to have to either deal with it, or use the "back" button" on your browser, or the little "X" in the upper right hand corner, or some other medium to exit this article.

What I DON'T get is why some who would define themselves as "mommy bloggers" (hint: not all mommies who blog are mommy bloggers) are so desperate for MY approval. There are plenty of people who are more than happy to read what you've written, and there's definitely a niche for mommy blogging. It's just not a niche I really care to fit in.

You CAN'T be all things to all people. Not everyone will like everything you've written. No matter how well you write it. It's a GOOD thing, actually, frankly, everyone trying to please everyone else is probably exactly what is making JU so boring to some people.

So, mommy bloggers, go ahead and dislike me all you want. I don't give a rat's behind. And to our little aerosol huffing friend out there, here, have a can of brake cleaning fluid. On me.
