The PalTalk Social Issues Tattler Is Back

As much as I don't like scandal sheets or scandal blogs, I must say that CharlesNewYork has brought back the Tattler. Charles first post has some very good chat advice for all internet chatters. I will cut and past part of it here. I was an avid reader of the blog before and was only mentioned twice ; one time when I wasn't even on PalTalk (Someone said something about me and one of my friends defended me) , the other time I was misquoted (I answered some political lamer who said "The Republicans are winning all their primary elections", my answer "Only Republicans Vote in Republican primary elections, dummy"), made me the Idiot of the day by the Tattler. LOL, and though I e-mailed them twice there was never a retraction. No matter, being on a chat program like PalTalk you develop a tough skin cause in Social Issues there is always going to be someone that disagrees with you and nine times out of ten they will attack you personally instead of your argument. What Follows is probably one of the few times I have agreed with Charles. Beware folks, The Tattler is Back!

Do not believe it simply because you have heard it. Do not believe it simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.

Ladies and Gentlemen of Social Issues: Use your ignore button.

If we could offer you only one tip for your Pal Talk experience, ignore button would be it.


The long term benefits of ignore have been proved by Paltalkians whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

Enjoy the power of your chat program; oh never mind; you will not.

Understand most people in Social Issues think you're a moron. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility you had, and how intelligent you really were….You’re not as dumb as they tell you.

Don’t worry about the names you are called; but know that giving a tinker's damn about what assholes say is as productive as trying to solve an algebra equation with a rock and a stick.

The real troubles in your life are the only things that matter.
Confront one person everyday who bullies you.


Speak up! Don’t be reckless with your opinions. Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Use your brain, it's the most precious thing you have.


Listen.

Don’t waste your time on old fights; sometimes you’re the bug, sometimes you're the windshield.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell other's how.

Get plenty of opinions. Be kind to your brain, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.


Maybe you’ll like Social Issues, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll join a clique, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll be liked...whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much.


Enjoy your brain...Use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..


Make friends.

Do NOT read blogs if you are sensitive. They will only hurt you.

Get to know people you like, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Understand that friends come and go, but for a precious few; hold on.


Work hard to bridge the gaps between hate and fact.

Accept certain inalienable truths, people will gossip, room admins will bouce, you will become addicted, your ass will grow, and when you do, you'll fantasize that before Social Issues, your ass was hard and plump, you were a decent person, people respected one another.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you.


Don’t mess too much with your friends list, or by the time you're ready to delete the program it will look like the spotted cow.


Be careful whose advice you take. Advice is a form of their mistakes, dispensed in a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But trust me on the ignore feature.
