Turnip Trucks

So when new profiles show up on Friendburst and suddenly start commenting on blogs, I can’t help but think they’re a fake profiles.

Sometimes, my friends will mention that someone is joining so I know those people are cool.

But I honestly don’t see completely new people dropping out of the clear blue sky and suddenly locking into certain blog discussions without missing a beat.

Is anyone really fooled by stuff like this?

A bunch of profiles get deleted.  Suddenly a new batch of users join up and immediately start blogging and commenting on blogs.

I block several people.  Suddenly several new profiles I’ve never seen before start commenting on my blogs.

This stuff comes and goes over time, but do these idiots really think we’re this clueless?  How sad is someone’s life when they feel compelled to make a fake profile to bypass a bloggers block button?

I don’t know why I chose right now to blog about this.  I haven’t even been on Friendburst much lately.  I just suddenly had the urge to point out the obvious.

    Yes! Oh, and yesterday when 5 new profiles went up in a row using the same avatar?

    A profile by any other name, is still a fake profile.

    I often have this feeling of Déjà vu. More so recently than any other time. I’ll stop there, I wouldn’t want to cause a dust up around here :mrgreen:

    I hope you are doing well. I’ve been thinking good thoughts your way!! :love:

    help me out here. I am trying to think of a politically left troll and coming up blank. In my experience they are always rabid right. At any rate the game is getting old. They could bake a loaf of bread or arrange some flowers or plant a garden or….. There is more pleasure in creating than destroying.

    Sometimes pointing out the obvious is necessary.

    especially for the clueless.

    I just hope there is no intended slur here against turnips… My pal promised me his special scalloped potatoes for Christmas dinner:

    In a greased casserole layer thin sliced potaotoes, sweet potaoes, and turnips. (salt and pepper) cover with scalded heavy cream. Dot with butter and bake.

    OMG.
