I have had it up to here (picture my hand above my head) with discussions on social websites. I'm weary of the kinds of discussions that seem to be the most popular. When I start a discussion where the final result is going to help others, I get the cold shoulder. I feel like I must have leprosy or something.

My self-created mission in life is to help others and as far as blogging is concerned, it's to help other bloggers either get started or increase their popularity. Anything else I get involved in seems to detract from that mission. I've made too many mistakes by getting involved in social website discussions that are unproductive. I'm not comfortable with self-promotion and that seems to be the order of the day at every social website that supports discussions.

I'm still going to remain a member of the social websites I belong to now. I'm just not going to be involved in the discussions (I can read without writing). When I announced my second logo contest, I said I would post it around the middle of the month on social websites. I've decided I'm not going to do that. If I don't get any responses to it directly from here, so be it.
