I’m a fairly trusting person in real life. For most things. Not all. Most.

Blogging however, I believe what I read but sometimes with a little bit of skepticism. Not all blogs or bloggers. Some.

Every once in awhile, a blogger or blog post comes along that sets my radar off. It goes berzerk. Off the charts. Warning sirens. Red flags. Migraine headaches. OK, fine. I exaggerate.

And this one made me kind of. Well? Disappointed. Disgusted. Amazed. Because I don’t believe a word of it. Yet, it seems so many of my bloggy comrades do.
Mom Dot just posted that she is being cyber stalked with death threats and all sorts of horrible things. She is taking the posts and videos of her family private for their “safety”. For regulars on her blog, it’s a free upgrade to be able to view them. Otherwise, there is a cost involved. To pay for her “home security” she claims. And by the way, originally she posted it would be $5.99. She has since changed the wording to simply state “for a cost”.

Sad.

Personally, I like Trisha. I am entertained by her. She’s funny, friendly and has always been very nice to me. I’ve actually had decent little tweet exchanges with her. Is she a friend? No. We are friendly. And I’m not going to bad mouth her because I don’t play that way. I’m not a disrespectful person.

I will say though. And this is, once again, my little tiny opinion on my ever shrinking little blog. Where I have nothing to lose. And really, not much to gain either. Because I’m not blogging for anything other than, well…to write.

Bullshit.

My radar is going off so badly that it’s giving me a headache.

Because I think, so strongly, that this is a little ploy to make some money and get some more attention off a horrible situation. Which will, most likely, work. There are so many followers in the bloggy world that are looking for a leader to guide them. And for such a slight little thing, she definitely, is a powerhouse of leadership. For some.

I have nothing to lose for calling her out here on my blog. I don’t make money from my blog. I’m not a big blogger. I simply don’t care.

What I DO care about is, my fellow bloggers trust being taken advantage of.

I’m sorry if she is getting death threats. Really. That’s scary. And I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I just don’t believe it for a minute.

I don’t believe her minions either.

And I’m sorry for those of you who do.

Because you are being taken for a cyber-ride.
