Comments on: Flogging: Advertising or not – it’s wrong. Wrong or not – it’s inevitable.

Flogs disguised as blogs is conceptually the same as spam disguised as an email message from your bank. Instant messaging–same thing.

Up until a year ago, over 14,000 followers presumably thought that Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert was @stephencolbert https://twitter.com/stephencolbert. (In case you’ve not heard, @stephencolbert was a fake http://tinyurl.com/5hmwl7).

The fake @stephencolbert was fun. But the fake @ExxonMobilCorp http://tinyurl.com/6×6aco was picked up by the mainstream media as valid.

Flogs are just another form of identity theft.

That’s why I am an LA Woman with an LA-Story..

my podcasts have discretion– my discretion.
. it’s all about what the other person says– and I do edit (as Chris well knows)..
It’s a conversation that reflect who the person on the other end is– it’s not about me. It’s about them

relationships– isn’t that what life is about? relationships with other people?
flogging — never going to get away from it..

People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted

Life is strange.

A blog about flogging.

A discussion about relationships.

A podcast with no discretion.

Social media is so cool..

OMG Chris Abraham…. let’s discuss this on a podcast– and have you say that to me then.
My life is my life and there’s a LOT left to live and get the juiciest best out of it.
so there.
There are some comments I could make here but I think discretion is an underrated virtue.

Another thing that I like about the online world is that not gonna say has the freedom to protect his privacy -- nobody knows you're a dog on the Internet.

This is getting silly.

I should start a series of flogs about dating. Get everyone riled up. I’d be killing two birds with one stone.

Women use code so as to not make us guys feel like shit. “many women tell me that when they were younger they went for the bad boys” is code for “when I was young I took some risks, went out with passionate, interesting, men, had a great time, sucked the marrow out of life, had a lot of fun, had an extreme of feelings and emotions, learned many things; in other words, went out with guys that had their own thing going on and that was appealing! They didn’t stick to me like a wet cotton T– I went out with men hotter than I was; when I got older, I decided it best to marry a man who isn’t as hot as I am… and I will continue to look back to those delicious days with the passionate and sexy men I had in my youth. So, when I say, ‘I went for the bad boys,’ I meant, really, I went for the boys with whom I could be bad! Men who would not make me feel guilty for all the hot sexy fun shameless things I have done with them — so as to avoid those appalling ‘virgin mary’ moral sink-holes — guys I could experiment with without ever feeling guilt or shame!”

How’s that interpretation, Stevie?

Exactly.
