In these almost two-month time that I have started writing here, I came to notice an interesting fact. There are different types of readers and/or commentators in this site, or at least as far as I experienced in my blogs:

First group of readers are those who are kind and read the "content" of your blog, realize the mistake you have made, and most importantly leave a comment. They are usually the ones that you might see in all your blogs, you can feel their sincere friendship, and you are almost sure that they will drop by your blog and show you their respects.

Second Group are those that brows through the blogs according to their tastes. Meaning, some like to read about economy, politics, art, music. But mainly the first two. And if your blog does not satisfy their taste they leave it like that. Nevertheless, amongst those are some, who make sure to show their disgust, or disappointment. As if everyone is supposed to write for their highnesses. 

Third group are the ones that I call them "The Police". They have no intention of reading your blogs, leaving comments about what you have read, they are just their to catch you!!!!Why do I say this? There have been couple of times that I forgot (honestly) to bring the source of my article due to my carelessness or not taking the fact that it can be considered as plagiarism and it is my duty to do so. And my God! Am I confronted with this group? I wanted to make sure there are such people, so I purposedfully wrote about my birthday, thinking if they are not that type, they are kind enough to drop some lines like others who kindly did it. Nope. Nada! Nothing!

Sometimes I wonder why some of us just want to criticize? I have no problem with reminders, but some of us go beyound our limits just to prove the person wrong! What do you think is the motive of doing so? Why are some of us so limited into seeing the world black and white? I know why. what do you think?

Did I Ever?

by Azadeh Azmoudeh on Fri Sep 26, 2008 11:24 AM PDT

"Our point?"

I do not recall if I have ever claimed to be a professional writer! Why do you care that I am or not??? Is it a must to be a professional here in iraniandotcome? About thicker skin, being an Iranian, that's all we learn, right? To skin someone to the point that he/she bleeds and stand and look at our masterpiece. Sorry dear. I don't see the use of so-called "thickening" my skin. Those who know me in person are witness to my humanity and sensitivity toward people like you. I may not listen to those with their name and face up there more than anyone else I respect choices. However, I have a more respect for those who put their genuinity before their fear of being judged or recognized by others! The day I decided to be here with my real name and real face, I knew that I am vulnarabe to be assailed, and I have no worries. It may seem I became defensive, and that's because I do not believe in judging the book from its COVER. By the way, did you mean anonymous azadeh or azedah? Just wondering!LOL. 

 

PEACE

you just keep proving our point

by Anonymous azedah (not verified) on Fri Sep 26, 2008 09:26 AM PDT

the whole "anonymous" thing is empty rhetoric. it's become the fall-back bitch for someone who doesn't have anything else to say. what's the difference in being anonymous or registered with a name like "khar" or "q" or "fred". are you going to listen more if someone has got their "name" in blue highlights. no... i don't think so. you're still the petty spoiled child. believe me... it's not anger anyone feels, it's amusement...lol. your writing is amateurish at best. your spelling and grammar are grade school. your topics CAN be interesting and thought provoking but once someone disagrees, you get defensive and start with the name calling. you're in the WRONG place if you don't develope a little thicker skin my dear.

How adult-like of you to hide behind a fake name(anonymous critic)!!! Are you afraid of me? But I am only a child-like writer, most probaby I think like one too. I hope you get peace of mind in life by taking your anger, and inferiority on me or anyone else for that matter. I do not mind. But one thing for you and the rest, I do not vanish. You should know better what it means by being quiet! Vanish?

Because I couldn't even make sense of your child-like English. Children do not offend anyone; they make some noise and then vanish. Like this:

Wow!

by Azadeh Azmoudeh on Tue Sep 23, 2008 03:57 PM PDT

I want someone to show me whom did I personally name and insult? Unless, you have related with my catagories and thought I was talking about you, there's no sign of any intention on my part to say Mr. or Mrs so and so, I am talking about you. This was my impression of people whom have commented on my blogs in the past 8 weeks, and to those others I commented on. I don't know why you, American Wife, or others, whom I was not fortunate enough to know, got offended from what I said. Otherwise, if I read it somewhere else would I be that offended and why? That's why I am so confused what is the reason behind all these back and forth arguments? I really don't, but that does not matter. I take the luck you throw at me, thanks. 

PEACE

I second American wife!

by Amused FN (not verified) on Tue Sep 23, 2008 03:19 PM PDT

So funny!
Yes, it is your blog…but it is a public forum! So please don't be surprised by getting some negative comments...
By the way, let me tell you something that you seem totally ignore: “You don’t take criticism very well.." (Ahhhh, but keep it this way please since it is actually the amusing part!!)

I second American wife, but I just find your mid life tantrums so funny! Especially that American wife had already congratulated you for your B-day!!
Thanks for entertaining us Azadeh Jaan!!

by American Wife on Tue Sep 23, 2008 02:58 PM PDT

Just a wee bit defensive are we?  You sound like a child... "this is MY blog and I'm going to do what I want!".  Listen... you've discussed your personal life numerous times.  Which is cool... but you've got to know that you're inviting comments when you do!  You talk about this and that group and it IS insulting to some.  As far as "moving on"... my dear, this is simply a waste of time.  "Moving on" means letting it go.  And I am.  Good luck!

Wow! Did I offend you too? All over the place? Isn't this internet with world wide access? It is my blog, isn't it? I threw out MY supposition and everyone dais theirs, what's now? "every disapproving comment is NOT criticism". Then you need to find out the meaning of criticism. When you disagree or disaprove of sth or sb and express it the way Nima did, then I call it criticism and like I said I do NOT have any problem with that. I learned and moved on Mrs. American Wife; the question is why can't you? 

PEACE

by American Wife on Tue Sep 23, 2008 01:40 PM PDT

"threatening" you. Chill out.  And your comment "this is MY blog" is pretty much summing of what everyone thinks already.  You're throwing out all these suppositions about the different "groups" of people and are surprised when someone gets offended.  Ebi's got the right attitude... take the pros and cons of the comments and learn from them.  It's for sure you're not going to get a good response if you continue "preaching" at everyone.  How can you say something doesnt concern us, the readers, when you put it out all over the place.

Don't get your panties in a wad... just chill out and learn... just like everyone else on iranian.com.  Like theMrs said... every disapproving comment is NOT criticism.

"Don't make general comments about readers on the site again if you don't want me to come back to your blogs and leave you a critical comment Azadeh.I am not the police, I just don't like to be insulted by the likes of you."

Under no circumstances, you CANNOT tell me what to write or what not to! You CANNOT threat me, or anyone for that matter. You might like to criticize here or not, but remember this is my blog, and as long as I don't insult any specific person, or group of people I write what and how I like and I care much less what you think or who you like, unless of course I ask your opinion.

One more thing: It is my choice to put my picture. I'm sorry that I am not conservative to hide behind some fake picture or sign in as not varified! Also, whether I am a wife from hell or heaven does not concern you and you are not the one to deal with me! Being self-centered or confidence (which I'm sure I pinched a nerve again) is my problem. I suggest you to look in the mirror and see who you really are and what is bothering you!

"Seems like it I hit the

by Aliasghar (not verified) on Tue Sep 23, 2008 08:45 AM PDT

"Seems like it I hit the nail:)"

"unless I did stir something inside."

"why don't some of you think it is your projection?????"

So it is either "you" hit the nail or "you" stir something and shahkar kashtee or "we" should think it is "our" projection?

There is a difference between self-confidence (or self-esteem) and self-centered.

But you know what? use your own logic and tell "me" I stirred something not "you" or your blog. That sounds right doesn't it? and in return "I" will tell "you" that "I" don't care what "you" think ;-)

So "we" will be even! Why do "we" even bother to talk?! "Very Interesting!" NOT!!

FEACE

Hey Nima, Are you mocking?

by TheMrs on Tue Sep 23, 2008 07:38 AM PDT

Blogs can be political, sexual, literary or silly. Good english isn't mandatory :) We can write in haste! Variety is in the eye of the beholder. We're not submitting to the pulitzer committee. You can stick to professional writers on the site if you don't enjoy the rest of us.

Azadeh can categorize us as she wishes, and she'll surely be wrong because people aren't label-able. Personally, I don't like naseehat style blogs or those who throw an idea out there and don't explore it, kind of like SNL's Did you ever wonder skit. So I usually skip them.

No one is my "pal" here and I don't feel close to anyone here. What the heck is that all about?

Vel kon baba chera enghad sakht migiri? Hoseleh dari? Besides criticism darim ta criticism! Not every disapproving opinion is a criticism!

Seems like it I hit the nail:) I do NOT mind to be criticized by the way!!! it's so interesting though, if I am writing simple, UNintelligent why do you come and leave a message, unless I did stir something inside. I did not condone, nor condemned any one, why don't some of you think it is your projection????? Very interesting!

ghooreh nashodeh maviz nasho!

by Nima Sadr (not verified) on Mon Sep 22, 2008 07:34 PM PDT

Azadeh,this may hurt a little.

You dare to insult commentators and readers of this site,so I will say something to you.Your blogs are really silly,written in haste and without much thought.I like political blogs but I also like nonpolitial blogs.I gave up reading your stuff when you admitted to wanting a divorce but staying in the same house for financial reasons.You also diss your husband while putting your picture and name on the site for all to see while you are still married to the guy.Forgive me, but to a man you seem to be the wife from hell.

First time you took something and put it up under you name, someone tried to get your attention about this. You ran away for as long as you could without admitting it.I didn't sense an honest mistake from that.You were made very aware that time that it's not right to omit the source,so if you did it again some other times which I admit I haven't read, this is plain wrong.

As others have said people will say things good or bad.You lash back at people who criticize you first in your blogs and then in other blogs dedicated just to bashing your critics, such as this one. You expect everyone to only leave you positive comments on your blog.

Your current blog is your most arrogrant one of all and if you don't know why here's why.In all 3 categories you mention you say 2 things: good commentators are those who leave me good comments and show me their respect this way, and people who criticize me are not good commentators.

I like theMrs and it's good she feels close to you and wants to be your pal on the site.Listen to her.You have a lot to learn.First learn from her impeccable English and how selective she is in her subject, writing only when she has something good to say.Learn from her wit and intelligence which makes her sexy and attractive to me and as a result I rush to read her evrytime.She also has a lot of gutts and class in handling good or bad comments.

Don't make general comments about readers on the site again if you don't want me to come back to your blogs and leave you a critical comment Azadeh.I am not the police, I just don't like to be insulted by the likes of you.

Which one is your group?

by Anonymous blogger (not verified) on Mon Sep 22, 2008 01:58 PM PDT

Azadeh Khanoum,

You're pretty new here and your track shows that you haven't even commented much on any other blog except your own!

But still you easily divide commentators in 3 categories...and then you critisize the second group of commentators, who don't comment on your stuff, by saying "as if everyone is supposed to write for their highnesses."

But hey! By the same kind of nonsense, as you've never left any comment on other people's blogs, do you mean that none of the other blogs were worthy of your attention and comment my highness?

Another blogger (that I guess you would call Police group!!)

What exactly are you expecting

by American Wife on Mon Sep 22, 2008 01:33 PM PDT

when you post a blog?  Your "first group of readers" implies that they are only worthy if they agree with you or "are nice" to you.  And you criticize the "second group" by expressing your distain if they DO disagree with you.  As far as "the police" group, well, some people are serious about their writing.  And the writing of others.  It's considered the ultimate disrespect to quote without giving credit.  I'm sure no one thinks you do it intentionally but you can hardly blame someone for pointing out that obvious fact to you.  If you want to be taken seriously, you must understand the responsibilities.  I've read your blogs... I've agreed with some things.  Others, not so much.

By posting a blog, you are INVITING comment.  You surely understand that not everyone is going to agree with you!  You post about extremely personal issues... and people are going to respond extremely personal.

"As if everyone is supposed to write for their highnesses."

Does that mean that anyone who writes a comment for you is supposed to write for "your highness"?
