IcerocketBut am I the only one who really wishes Peter Deane would stop disgorging the endless contents of his email archives into the bloglist? I have to go back for pages now to find anything worth reading. Having briefly scanned a couple of the posts I'm entirely baffled as to why he thinks this is in any way relevant or interesting to anyone here.
And Peter? If you really really do think the bizarre records kept of your squabbling kin are something that you absolutely have to share with us, could you maybe tell us why? You know, summarize things in a short piece so we have some idea of what, exactly, it is that we are meant to take from this otherwise incomprehensible pollution of our bloglist?
No really ... am I the only one here who's thinking this? Or am I really just being an asshole?

not the only one and no asshole either

you just stated what I was thinking but was far too (falsly?) polite to state...although I wonder what is behind it all...I mean there must be a message or not? I wouldn't mind finding it out...
The Family Squabble
— Feb 07, 2010
The writtings of a family squabble is an accumulation of some writings between members of an American family that were shared openly on a website (deanefamily.com) between the years of 2006-2008. The writings are what remains of a family squabble that happened between them. This book will be studied to view this time in our lives when technological advances began to hold an importance to look back into the past to see where or why or how a problem or problems were felt and/or recognized, and how members of one family squabbled it out openly on a website (Later copied to Reality Sandwich), and so too now, is how they are able to reflect upon those words that remain open and are now in print through these letters for others to learn from.
The writtings of the squabble is a lasting record to come for the generations of family members and non-family members. I can not say, as the editor and one of the characters, that my innocence is pure in all that happened through these years that the squabbled happened. There were many mistakes that were made on my part. At the time that the squabble began I was having marital problems, a niece was dying, and I was being asked to donate a kidney to a sister, much was being weighed and thought out and argued during this time in my life with everyone involved either publicly or privately.
In the end, though, I have no regrets. All decisions concluded were made because of where I was at that point in my life. Although there was much hurt that happened on all sides, looking back on it, now, I see much of the sore spots are healing or have healed, people have moved on, and/or some may still have a grudge or two that they carry with them still and it erupts to the surface every now and again.. Maybe, now, they can look back upon the writings and will be able to recognize the places where love or cherishment were present and also the places where love or cherishment were absent.
If this squabble has taught me anything at all, it has taught me cherishment. I have come to believe that love remains in the past, and it remains there just like hate, both are nonexistent, and sometween between the invisabilty of them both we find the truth on who, or what, or why, we bring cherishment or cruelty to the things and/or people that are close to us and call relative.
P.S. To All Here on Reality Sandwich that patiently saw my final self expresion on this area of squabbling... I say thank you. And I can see how you can think me for an asshole. But in the end just forget about it and let's move on...
Peace is finding... that's all it is.
And do me a favor...

Hey, great! Now we know what
— Feb 07, 2010
Hey, great! Now we know what it is, anyone who wants can just follow this link from here and go have a look at it at all for themselves on their own time for it is, as you stated, a standing testament for the generations to come (for as long as the Internet is there at least.) Does it really have to be reposted here? I mean ... why? And is there much more to come?

Yeah... it did...

And no I'm done with the squabble.
But I have other stories to tell.
Slowly this time.
I won't get in the way again.
Thanks for letting me share and explain.
OK, fair enough. In that
— Feb 07, 2010
OK, fair enough. In that case sorry for getting testy with you. I had my winter jacket and cell phone stolen last night and woke to a busted water heater. Hasn't been the best day....

lol,
No Psychegram, I don't think you're the only one thinking this.
But Peter, I think with all the work you've done putting this stuff together you might want to do yourself a favor and think of a better way to present it. Your family squabble is a lesson to us all. I think you may want to aim for maximum, one blog every couple of days to give people time to get into your material and not spam up the 'recent' bloglist. Perhaps make it easy to read, possibly some broken up paragraphs, and relatively short.
Cheers,
Meade
In the Future
— Feb 08, 2010
In the future, psychegram, I'd recommend sending a friendly note to other bloggers if you have an issue like this, rather than calling them out across the network (although perhaps you did try that Peter).
And Peter, we at Evolver appreciate your acknowledgment to be more mindful of others within the community when posting your blogs (for instance, you could consolidate them into one single blog, so that it doesn't take up so much space on the site).
It looks like you guys have figured out this one out on your own.
Cheers,
Jonathan
Ya, if generic blogs get trashed...
— Feb 09, 2010
Then, the network might be in growing pains or birth pain. Octuplets was it, or families too big to rationally support??
Some cultures realize that every hair is counted-- Other cultures realize that perhaps every hair is even political. Yet others think it is possible to purge the political content. Is it really possible to purge hot content? Can the world be forced into a cloned mono-culture? Will the replacement web glorify spam?
I wonder something
— Feb 10, 2010
I have a question that is somewhat related to this blog, so I'll put it here. Even though I know there is no one right answer to this question, I'd like to see what others think, and that is: If you have a blog post that is long-ish and needs to be broken over more than a few blogs, how often should you post it?
I ask this as I am working on something that I think will be 5 blog posts and was going to go with, as my answer, every 4 days. I don't want it to clog up Evolver, but do want to get it out over a few weeks (20 days) and those who are "following" it would possibly miss the next ones if I waited.
Sorry if this is not the best spot to put this question, but it did some related in an indirect way to Psychegram's initial concern.

How members of one family

How members of one family squabbled it out openly on a website (Later copied to Reality Sandwich), and so too now, is how they are able to reflect upon those words that remain open and are now in print through these letters for others to learn from.
