Bloggerneckers = Blogger Rubberneckers | | Up Up Down Down...Up Up Down Down…

bloggerneckers I have decided to create a new word:

Bloggerneckers.

This is the equivalent of a “Blogger Rubbernecker” or one whom visits a blog to survey the “damage” but not actually do anything with it, engage, or do anything about it.

They come for a number of reasons, sometimes by accident, and just “browse” and “observe.”

Perhaps they laugh or scoff or portray other legitimate emotions, but they keep it inside… never leaving a comment, never offering support, or sharing in the experience…

I think there are a lot of bloggerneckers out there.

I’m one of them too.

You see, sometimes I just want to see the “mess” that someone else has made with their lives online.

…

Sick, really.

Can you add to this “working” definition?

"Though they will not stop to help – they cause traffic anyway."

Is this your way of begging for comments?

Testing. Please ignore.

Thanks for the mention, even though you are getting beat up a bit here. Now I am a "blogmuse".

and some people will look and add a daft comment – hoping that they'll get a referal to their blog.
terrrible
so self-seeking
those people should be …

please forgive me

throw me a word I need an idea, he he he
any word, I'll blog about it
just kidding

after years of living in los angeles and experiencing lookey-lou's or rubber-neckers who would stop traffic at an accident scene to get a peek :they are selfish,inconsiderate,cause possible harm to others…
in blogging…i've got a bunch of people coming through who must scoff at me…i'm working on a tiger-trap for them

Looks like the indicator of an Intense Debate Team Member.
Oooo, but I would like a star as well.

    no,i want one that rotates colors and shapes

So does this mean I can't make fun of people who read tabloids anymore?

Very true and it is frustrating. I write because I want to learn, not because I have the answers. So it is frustrating when I try to ask a question or try to get more perspective on an issue and very few respond. Alas. Oh well.
