Concerning Drama
As you all know, there has been much drama around Xanga lately, with Dave and all that involves, and the added plus of Ricky vs. Paul, and now Dan has subtly said his piece, or at least some of it. I have put in my say here and there, but I figured I might as well address it all in a post.
You all know how I feel about the Dave part of it. I know considerably more about the situation, but I stand by the fact that Dave has done much for this community, and I am in his corner, even if my dear study buddy (Dan) isn’t.
Yes, Dave has done a lot for this community. Unlike DearRicky. Gosh, I have so much to say about that.
First of all, I’m not going to be a jerk, I’m just calling it like I see it. But I have never heard so much complaining before in my life. I mean just his blog in general. Every time something little pops up, he has to post about it, blowing it 100 times bigger than it is, bashing people and their friends, then he’ll send out MM’s about it, and no matter what happens, he always makes it out like he’s the victim. I’ve tried to stay away from posting about him because that seems to be a fad, and I’m not one to follow a crowd, but this dude’s annoying! The entire time I’ve been on Xanga, every time I’ve seen that little asian kid’s face, I’ve wanted to give him something to really cry about. Seriously, he acts like he’s the modern day Job, just minus the humility and..well, all the good stuff about Job. This guy complains about drama so much, but he creates most of it himself. He accuses others of lying, and when they apologize, he refuses it. He’s just too stupid and attention hungry to realize that he could stop the drama whenever he felt like i, simply by dropping it. Even his so-called friends have told him this. But he’ll probably just accuse them of being against him, create a post about how horrible they are, drag their name through the mud, say something nasty about their friends, and then send out a mass message about how he’s been attacked and betrayed. He claims he’s leaving, but that’s a load of crap, and the smart ones know it. He can’t leave: if he did, he wouldn’t be able to find people to feel sorry for him. Besides, leaving would be doing something good for this site, and he wouldn’t dare do that.
Paul, Paul, Paul. I have so much to say about his actions. They have effected this site more than anyone, past or present, combined. I mean, look at what he’s done! Paul has…wait, what did he do? Oh yeah, he made a site. Why would he do such a thing!? We shouldn’t have people doing that here! People making sites should be frowned on. What else did he do? Oh yeah, he gave his opinion on that site. *the crowd gasps* Yeah, I know! It’s horrible! Who does that!? Not only did he make a site, but he also voiced his very own opinion? Paul, Paul, Paul. How could you?
In all seriousness, Paul cracks me up. I told Ricky they’re both being immature about it, but at least Paul is entertaining. And I’ve read some of his poems. He actually uses this site for one of the reasons it was made. Not to moan and groan about all the big bad meany faces, but to share a talent with the community.
Finally Dan. Dan is my study buddy. I’m a bit obsessive about this, and I’m not sure why. I guess it’s my way of reminding him and myself that we once had a conversation (I think it was on someone’s XTV). Dan, we should decide what subject we are studying.
Oh, and of course Dan gets involved in the drama. It’s Dan. This is his site.
So that’s my bit. Opposing views are welcome, though not encouraged.

The latest drama around here is so tiring and getting old. I can’t wait for it to be over soon! I am not bothered about who is leaving or staying. People who keep up the drama are just immature in my opinion. I am not taking sides. I like everyone equally and I also have my list of haters, but I don’t blog about them cause I think it’s childish to bash people I’ve never met in person on a blog.
Stupid drama-llamas
I hope the drama goes away too.
I’ve checked out Paul’s site once in awhile, and he’s got some good/funny stuff. Far better than Ricky.
You guys aren’t study buddies, you’re butt buddies. And all your cornholing madness is stinking up the place.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - Lol! Well, I was there, and I distinctly remember the word “study,” not “butt.” And I haven’t caused any of this, so why is it my madness? ]
For the most part, I try to stay out of drama. I always say that drama happens when you mention people by name. I focus on controversial issues and I see controversy as different than drama. I am a little different then everyone you mentioned in this post in that I rarely mention people by name in a negative way. I think I have done it only 5 times. But sometimes things need to be said about the xanga community and in those times I will step in and reveal correct information.
I believe Dave needed to be corrected. But now it is time for us to all come back together and put all this other stuff aside.
The only distinction I see is those who partake in all the filthy gossip and backbiting and those who do not. Hmmm…
I’ve grown use to drama over the years. Every site on play on has drama. rofl A social blog is just like real life. There are always the people who love to start and maintain drama. rofl
I’m trying to stray away from Ricky vs. Me. As far at it goes.. he just wants to be a ‘winner’ of some silly little textual war.
This place can be more than that kind of crap.
Good post.
You’re absolutely right about DearRicky. It’s sad that more people can’t see him for who and what he really is.
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace - Lol
The Sheer Persnickety drama is the same today as it was the day I joined Xanga, about a year ago now. Keep roarin’, Tygah. You will be up there with Paul and the Pimpman.
In my experience, a huge red flag goes up when I hear people banging on too much about being betrayed by their friends. A smart person sees that in the event that something badly does happen between 2 people, perhaps it’s best to talk it over and–failing that–just distance onseself from the other person in the future instead of just ranting about it online, calling people names and crying for sympathy. We all have great lives and equally sucky lives, but not everyone reacts the same way. The best people write and talk about things that are thought-provoking, not soul-killing. It’s easy to get dragged down, but I don’t want people to walk away from what I write being infected with poisonous soul-killing anger.
@TheTheologiansCafe - Have I ever told you I love you? Cuz I do.
