The quality of a person is measured by the content of his character, the size of his heart and his compassion for his fellow man. A person has reached emotional maturity when he is happy with himself as a person, and has no need to put anyone else down to elevate himself. 
Wonderful blog.

Thank you all very much for your comments and compliments. But, that's not why I wrote this. I'm a Newbie yet I speak directly and from the heart. Usually there is passion behind what I write. This is no exception. It just seems to me that there is a lot of childish bickering going on and for what? It makes no sense at all. Life is too short. Find the good within your fellow man instead of always looking for the bad.
It is a lot easier to smile than to frown. Supposedly it takes less facial muscles to smile than to frown, so ease your workload and SMILE.

There are no Pulitzer Prize winners on this site.
You have no idea how many times I've said the same thing. Yes, there are many here who can turn a phrase, catch your attention, and give you an enjoyable moment. And not necessarily the ones who blow their own horn. I personally enjoy variety, including some of the jokes - YES, cut and pastes. I think you are going to find that writers who are TRULY the cream of the literary crop are writing for profit, or if not, at the very least displaying their works unashamedly side by side with other quality authors on more serious writing/blogging sites.

Nice blog. Well written. Good for you!
But....
So the next time you are tempted to judge someone else by how well they are able to communicate, what they find worthy to communicate about, what they find funny, what interests them, and the fact that they put themselves and their opinion out here for all to see to begin with; ask yourself this, "What gives you the right?"
But isn't that what we are all doing when we look at profiles? Judging what they have written. The content? Their sense of humor and even what they find worthy of speaking about? It's really all we have to go on. Their picture of course, but that could be 5 years old, and perhaps not even of them.
I do get what you are saying about judging others blogs and their content and skill. We all have different tastes. Isn't that what makes us so great? There truely Is someone for everyone. It's just the mad search to find that one man standing amungst the masses.
But I DO judge whom I'm interested by what they choose to write about. I have no interest in hate filled profiles and blogs. People who can't seem to find a way to get along with others. Sexist, racist comments. So yes again, I do judge whom I choose as worthy to let into my life. I do. I do. I do.

But isn't that what we are all doing when we look at profiles? Judging what they have written.
Not necessarily. It all depends. There are good writers who suck in real life.
There are wonderful people who can't write but can play the flute. This kind of communication is a mere inkling of what might possibly be there. You can read all the blogging you want but until you talk face to face, you won't have a clue if there is any chemistry.

^^^ best comment I have read tonight
Who really cares who the best blogger is? I believe this is a rhetorical question, not one that was asking for an answer. It is very difficult to stir a pot that has so many spoons in it. Observations are made, thoughts come in words. Expressing them is a cleansing of the soul. No disguise, just words on a page. Write on

The best blogger?
That would be the blogger who forces your hand, whose written word compels others to react, that reaction can either be good, or bad. If what they write can inflame your emotions to the point where you react in the positive or negative, they can claim success can't they? That would be the best blogger, writer, whatever. The rest are just blogtritus, blogging flotsam that serves as fodder or filler for all the white spaces.
So with that said, come on...I'll email the address where you can send the Starbucks card.

That's a myth, a fable, a fantasy and a fig newton of your imagination. There are several good writers who do not evoke others to react with phony kudos and signs of sophomoronic clicktisms. There are those who write and make you think instead of joining the plethora of non thinkers who grasp at groupie clans seeking nothing more than acceptance. It's true, this blog, who gives a flying fck about the judgement bllsht except for a few ego maniacs and those lonely for acceptance. Blog on and don't let those few judgemental low lifes stop you!

I love to blog. I think everyone here knows that. I also like to joke and say that I am the best. I demand kudo's and allocades but really what are they, not much...
...I see a huge difference when I blog something true, real...With honest emotions and genuine thought.
Then when I blog how great I am,(Which seriously is just for laughs, I'm not really like that, although I have no idea why I defend myself so often on that issue either...) how I want kudo's. Go all dramatic and seriously slightly nut's, I get more read's, comments and interest than when I am being serious. Go figure.
...Everyone likes different things. My flavor may not be what your craving for tomorrow. The thing is though, for people who enjoy writing blogland is fun, and sometimes a creative outlet. It is for me. Something that I blog here for laughs and fun is not necessarily what I would send in for review, if I wanted to get hired as a writer. That is what I went to school for.
Sorry for the excessive comment.
I think I may have gotten off the topic of your blog too, although I get what your saying.

What would you personally define as 'the best blogger?'
A blogger who has the most comments from individual members with kudos?
A blogger with the most comments and kudos from repetitive commenting on blogs?
'A superior person' perhaps?
PMF has it to a 'T' anyone who gains a reaction from what they write, whether the reaction is positive or negative, it's all good. Any writer learns that in their most basic study skills.
What a sad state of affairs when someone joins a dating site to find that special someone and what they find is a battle ground over writing ability!!! Which is exactly what this blog is all about.
So the next time you are tempted to judge someone else by how well they are able to communicate, what they find worthy to communicate about, what they find funny, what interests them, and the fact that they put themselves and their opinion out here for all to see to begin with; ask yourself this, "What gives you the right?"
Isn't it all about keeping interest when writing an article, which goes hand in hand with the ability to communicate information effectively.
And yes, I will judge people by what they write as a whole, because if someone is posting things that don't interest me a lot of the time, I can assure you that I will have little interest in them. That is my personal choice.
But then you always have to look at the full picture, frame and all...not just the signature.

Since your comment represents to the greatest degree what my blog was all about let me respond with my interpretation and opinion of your comment.
Your comment, to me represents the attention seeker. Not someone who writes just for the love of writing, someone who just needs a listening ear, someone who needs advice or someone who wants to make others laugh or feel good. What I interpret your words to mean is, that what you are talking about is a preconceived plan of attack on whoever your intended reader is.
I take it from your remarks that when you write you do so with the intention of inflaming someone about something. Kind of like setting a trap, putting out bait. How ironic that is considering your situation.
Your comment about writing to compel others to react, to incite them, reminds me of a little boy who will do whatever, make a scene, kicking and screaming because he lacks attention and this is the only way to get it. What I interpret your words to mean is that craving attention and doing whatever you can to get it at whatever cost is just fine with you. Sort of the means justify the end type of person. 
You comment about blogs being flotsam - discarded odds and ends - what cargo remains afloat after a ship has sunk - well sir everything has value to someone. "One mans junk is another man's treasure". Flotsam may be of no value to you, but to some it has value. If you already consider blogs flotsam and of no value to you, then bypass them without comment or ridicule for they are not your concern, or worth your time as you have so mentioned.
But give every person their due respect because what is of value to you, or to others who also think this way, may just as well be flotsam to someone else.

The comment represents one of the most basic lessons in writing skills.
Any form of reaction from your writing is good, whether positive or negative.
It is something that people have to accept, like any other art form.
If people don't like your painting, you have to learn to accept the negative along with the positive.

Because I can write coherently does not make me a writer,
Because I expressed an opinion does not make me the best blogger,
Because I have confidence does not make me superior to anyone,
And because I felt compelled to post this does not make me an attention seeker.
You will notice that my very first comment was not about gaining kudos or comments, it was about making a point. A point that has seemed to go right over your head. For the life of me I can't seem to understand why because you seem to be an intelligent person.
I do like to read and I do like to write especially about things that peek my curiosity. If I ever become a qualified writer I will let everyone know. I shall reveal the titles of my novels for all to read. Until then... I have never been shy about expressing an opinion or speaking up when I see an injustice being done.
In my opinion your whole attitude represents an injustice to everyone else on this site that has an opinion or just wants to express themselves. No one needs to be scrutinized under a microscope especially by someone who isn't here seeking the main purpose for this site, especially of all places blogland. That's what the forums seem to be for. Enter at your own risk mentality seems to abound over there.
People in blog land don't intend on being made fun of indiscriminately or in a secret coded blog using the first and last letter of each word scrambling the other letters to be as secret as possible, all the while patting yourself on the back for your cleverness. I say if you have something to say do it directly. No miscommunication, put it all out in the open. Anything else is childish and petty.
As I see it, "The chickens come home to roost."

I love reading real blogs and getting to know people through their thoughts. But if I wanted to be surrounded by chat, I'd go to the chatroom, and if I was interested in discussing or debating things, I'd participate in the discussion forums.
MatchDoctor designed different areas for different activities. I'm sure he could save a whole hell of a lot of money AND aggrevation if he decides to lump everything into a single forum page.
I really don't know why people take umbrage at THIS sites decision on how THEY want it to be designed. I believe the intent was so that people could post their writings to their PROFILES...and "New Blogs" was simply supposed to be a list of blogs, not a bunch of personal forums.
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if the site shuts down this whole section...or eliminated public comments. Afterall, comments are supposed to be directed to the bloggers and what they've written, right? Comments would simply come into email and interaction would then be a one-on-one choice.

What I have seen lately is blogs written to belittle others and try to gain popularity no matter who they hurt or step on in doing so..In my opinion this is such a childish, immature manner in which more and more people are beginning to see..
I am glad you posted this blueschic...great blog..

Sunbabe....Correct me if I am wrong but I took this from what comes up when you click on blogs.
Dating Blogs
Matchdoctor dating blogs are a great way to let others know about you and to find that special someone.
I personally take that in the context that you are expressing yourself so others can come to know you and you can attract the attention of a special someone.
Where does it say anything about a writing competition for articles or an assumed award for
BEST BLOGGER????

Wrong. The comments enhance the blog. Topics related directly of indirectly to the blog seem fair game. In reality it is up to the blogger themself, as to what they
feel is a appropriate, as the blogger has the tools to delete inappropriate comments.
Indeed, as evidence of this, your comment remains at the discretion of the blogger, because it has nothing to do with the topic covered in the blog.
Are you suggesting it should be deleted ?

That is what I see too.
And I don't see complaints about chat on blogs when it occurs on certain other people's blogs. I HAVE seen those who have complained about jokes and cut and pastes proceed to post jokes and cuts and pastes of quotes themselves on their own blogs. I have also seen those who complain about chat on blogs allow it on their own blogs. Yet you never see complaints about that activity on their blogs.... To the contrary I have seen their friends kudo, praise, and participate in those blogs with nary a complaint.
The singling out and targeting is obvious. Do as I say not as I or my friends do.
As far as complaining about chatting in a blog goes. Why complain about what you are participating in just to get your point across.
There is absolutely NO requirement that folks who read blogs also read the comments. If people get bogged down in the comments it's because they are purposefully doing so. Time after time after time and again. Why would someone who claims to hate reading comments do it anyway and then complain about it.

You comment about blogs being flotsam - discarded odds and ends - what cargo remains afloat after a ship has sunk - well sir everything has value to someone. "One mans junk is another man's treasure". Flotsam may be of no value to you, but to some it has value. If you already consider blogs flotsam and of no value to you, then bypass them without comment or ridicule for they are not your concern, or worth your time as you have so mentioned.
But give every person their due respect because what is of value to you, or to others who also think this way, may just as well be flotsam to someone else.
Who decides what someone blogs is JUNK? Flotsam? Garbage? Talk about Judgemental..... ............Suddenly we have the Blog Police?
What I have seen lately is blogs written to belittle others and try to gain popularity no matter who they hurt or step on in doing so..In my opinion this is such a childish, immature manner in which more and more people are beginning to see.
There is so much of this. It is one thing to write about the world as you live it as an atheist or agnostic... You are entitled, it is quite another thing to blog hateful things about how others life their lives all the while mocking pointing fingers, and belittling.
It is also quite a common thing to see hateful comments being spewed on blogs, obsessive blogging about ethnics, or cultures... ( of course this goes back to media demonizing for the powerful elitists in the real world) I digress.
If I were new to this site, I might think otherwise about joining judging by the ugly blogging going on.

Where does ANYONE get the idea that there are awards for "BEST BLOGGER"? I've never seen this site hand out awards like that.
As a matter of fact, the site took the "most popular blogs" off the home page because SOME people viewed blogs as a stupid competition, something that was really annoying and took away from those who attempted to write real blogs and not run a chatroom.

And even if they did, that is a matter for the readers to decide.

I'm certain we differ in our definition of what a "real" blog is.
I also find it ironic that a person who spends most of her time in the forums
only comes into the blogs to harrass, ridicule and/or be sarcastic towards bloggers.
Why not stay in the forums which are MUCH more like a "chatroom" ?

There is no award for best blogger to my knowledge. Just a few people who are
under the assumption that they write the best blogs, and that their writing is
superior to others due to their preconceived notion of superiority. Really I don't
think you need me to explain this to you. As an observant woman who has been
on this site longer than me, I would assume that you are aware of the goings on.

Well..again, I am at a loss on the concept of 'best blogger' and how this came about.
The only way I can 'interpret' 'best' blogger is by the views or comments.
Some views are people who read and don't comment because of controversal subject matter.
Others, comment more out of 'flirtation' or actually have something to say that is of interest.
It appears there is still a 'mystery' on how your interpretation of 'best blogger' came about.
Why don't you interpret between the lines for us.
I, for one, am at a loss.

I have been told by and have seen it written on others blogs that "Such and Such, " belongs in the forums......... ....Sorry Mods but I dont think so...........Im not into suicide anymore thanx.........I gave that up long ago, along with the heavy angry music, and black clothes.........

Just to add..
You have to take the forum or audience into account.
On a political forum, someone writing about their flowers in the garden or date they had would get less views than some writing about a political issue.
On the other hand, 'dating' sites as this, a person writing about sex would probably get more views than someone writing about politics.
I think to a point, your mixing apples and oranges.

blog
Definition
A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.
Information
A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.
People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems......"

What an absolutely clueless comment.
Just about any common moron
can incite anger or disgust in people.
Indeed, I see it on here frequently.
Jim..
Contrary to your opinion, the 'press' was made to 'inform' and even to 'incite' and sometimes anger.
I suggest your read the speech Kennedy gave to the press.
If you don't like the subject matter, you have an absolute Constitutional right, to disagree, or not read it.

Wrong.
A blog can be an alternative news source, commentary, etc..
Many mainline news agencies get their tips from blogs.
Reporters, college activist keep blogs in online sites.
Main Entry: blog
Pronunciation: \'blo?g, 'bläg\
Function: noun
Etymology: short for Weblog
Date: 1999
: a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer
— blog·ger noun
— blog·ging noun
"blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
"Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.[1]

Joshua.....This isn't a political discussion and no one here had press credentials or
writing credentials(that I've seen proof of). What it is is a display of is over inflated
egos. If any are such great writers in need of recognition let them compete with
the real literary "writers" then come back and proclaim how great they are. Until
then accept the fact that on this site are a bunch of ordinary not extraordinary
people, here for different reasons, some with differing tastes, but all who post
blogs should be treated with respect. Period!!!!

Thanks Josh, I had no idea I didn't have to read everything.
But seriously, what does that have to do with anything relevent ?
My point is that creating an angry response has little to do with any real talent.
That was the issue you seemed to be in disagreement with.

Blue, no one here is suggesting that one blogger is better than another.
But it appears some are suggesting that because they don't like the 'content' or 'subject', that these bloggers should somehow be censured or put down.
Everyone here has the absolute right not to read the content.
But NO ONE, as long as the writer adheres to the site's rules and regulation, has the 'right' to demean someone because they want to read about 'dating bubba' or 'she said, he said' and don't want other content.
In as far as 'religious' attacks, do I agree with it?
No...
But if one person is censured because someone simply does'nt like the content, then it sets a precident for anyone to be censured either officially or by proxy by a few.
That is unacceptable in a free nation.
Everyone here has the absolute right not to read the blog.
But no one has the right to dictate, outside of site rules, what can be published and what someone views are because they 'don't like the subject'.
That is noting short of, control.
And we all have seen enough of that lately.
