Why Does Everyone Think That Blogging Makes You A Writer?

It has come to my attention that my rants have become increasingly scarce. And we can't let that happen, can we?

About a month ago, I was roaming through the comment section of PSG and came across a rather suspicious Anonymous. Apparently, Anonymous Ignavus* and Anonymous Canicula** aren't the only species of the Anonymous clan.

Meet Anonymous Conciliator***. This particular Anonymous is quite audacious. Its main purpose is to prey on popular blogs and attack by means of non-stop self-promotion. And what is it that they promote? Their excellent, marvelous, absolutely fabulous blogs, that is!

Obviously, this relentless self-promotion is bound to raise suspicion, so the Anonymous Conciliator will have to engage in conversation with... themselves(!) discussing the awesomeness of the blog promoted.

Honey, sorry, but your terrible use of grammar and the hideous spelling suggest two things.

1. You are a fan of the blog. (Since the only language not spoken written there is proper English.)
2. You are the owner of the blog. (Since the only language not spoken written there is proper English.)

Seriously, English is not my mother language either, but at least I try to make my posts comprehensible.

After a post on MDM about the "anonymity" of such comments, the owner of this excellent, marvelous, absolutely fabulous blog threw a fit about how she did not anonymously promote her blog, blah, blah, blah and had her swarm of admirers (Damn, that blog has 1000+ followers!) tell her how amazing she is. In a more grammatically incorrect way, of course.

Now, this post's purpose is not to bash this girl as I don't know her and do not have any personal issues with her. Contrariwise, after this dramatically long introduction, I wanted to conclude that having a blog does not render you a writer.

A poorly written account of an odd occurrence in Dollywood does not render you a writer. Just because you decide to publish your virtual memoirs on the web does not render you a writer.

And, for fuck's sake, if you do decide to do all of the above without giving a shit if you suck or not, (Props to you!) don't whine when someone doubts your "awesomeness".

Because, really, you are not that great.
