• Tips To Avoiding Xanga and Internet Drama

  Having been on xanga for over 5 years now, I have seen a great deal of drama.  So with all of this time of observation, I would like to pass on a little insight in what I have learned on how to avoid drama.

  

   

  # 1  Never mention someone in a post by name in a negative way. 

  Example:  Say I thought DearRicky was an overrated blogger who plays on the emotions of women and uses his handicap to get sympathy.  I would avoid saying that.  Instead, I would mention “Some people just use their handicaps for sympathy.”  Do you see how I avoided the drama?  By simply not mentioning DearRicky’s name, I kept myself safe.

  # 2  Never point out grammar or spelling mistakes.

  Example:  If I came across Trunthepaige’s post and noticed that she spelled “inteligense” wrong, I would not point it out.  I would simply respond to the post and address the topic.

  # 3 Never comment on a post involving a fight on xanga.

  # 4  Do not attempt to webcam with Maniac_Rose.

  # 5  Never make fun of fat and ugly people.  (No link on this one).

  # 6  Resist the temptation to make fun of the Pope.  Some people are sensitive about the creepy guy.  (Megan)

  # 7  Never point out to a washed up comedian that he has no chance to make it in comedy and his posts are never funny.   (VaneDave)

  # 8  Do not point out to someone on xanga that there is no hope they will be a writer who sells more than 500 books to their closest friends.  Here is the link:  Link

  # 9.  Always assume the person on xanga really is dead.  Talk about what a wonderful person he/she was.

  Follow these simple rules and you will avoid xanga drama just like me.
