The weekly din of the blogosphere

I tell ya, the more people enter the blogosphere, the more din gets created.
   Take a read of this one for a very good laugh about people for whom humour just seems to go over their heads.

   It refers back here, and I think the writer missed the point. Hopefully my comment addresses it.
   For another very strange one (especially for those of you able to read the private posts here), check this one out, from my main blog:

Note the comments by the chap, Kindabemused. Those who know the story will understand my need for specifics in my penultimate comment on the page. But surely no normal, reasonable person (or even the officious bystander) could have got the wrong end of the stick with the Trelise Cooper undies comment?
   It’s not like my blog is the New Idea or some weekly magazine. But here we are: netizens creating drama between two people where there is none. I am sure many of us see these phenomena in our blogs.
   I can see how the weeklies make their money—they thrive on manufactured fictions. And it’s not hard to see how they surface and get propagated.
   But are people so sad they do not laugh any more? Is everything such a drama, and so sad in their lives, that they have to generate more of it?
   Where do they live? Auckland?
   Smile. You don’t have to be at Camera House. Smile. Your computer screen won’t break, nor will your mouse.
   Wow, that rhymes. Call me a regular Charlie Chaplin. (Maybe Miss Prozac will now say I am comparing myself to Charlie.)
   Almost seems like a revisit of the Laural Barrett sensationalist story from the Fairfax Press (which served all parties in terms of publicity, but not necessarily long-term effects for The Press), or the Jennifer Siebel attacks.
   The blogosphere is getting strange again, and it’s taking after tabloid journalism.
