This kind of makes me want to vomit. I don't know exactly what happened. I am certainly not going to takes sides. However, I am saddened when two excellent bloggers, who seem to be very nice people as well, were apparently hurt/insulted/offended enough by the jblogger community to bolt it.
With regards to the JIBs, I myself do not pursue blogging awards for two reasons: 1) Our sages have instructed us not to pursue honor ("If one pursues honor, honor flees from him."), and 2) I don't think that this blog deserves an award. My blog is just a way for me to express myself. I am happy if someone visits here and finds something that he felt was worth his while. If you don't like this blog, there are millions of others to choose from.
Have a nice day!
Update: The Baleboosteh is back!
Update: Mr. Bagel is back!
A Jew's view from the capital of Israel and the future site of the Third Temple, may it speedily be rebuilt.
It really does break my heart when two lovely, helpful people like the bb's are hurt like they have been.
ReplyDeleteI thought we were a community.

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean.
Much of the ugliness is because the old jblogger community has accepted meanness and embraced those who intentionally hurt others.
The JIB award is a magnet for hatred among bloggers.
Why do I get the feeling that Ploni is trying to stir the pot.
