Xomba Blog | Frankie Says Relax

Hi Everyone,

Sometimes I feel like a broken record when I say that we have new articles on the front page, but today you really should check the new Xombytes out.

Man's Greatest Inventions

You Know You’re Pushing 40 When…

Best & Worst Moments Of The Beijing Olympics

Our contest, Xomba Is Green With Envy, is coming to a close Sunday night. Be sure to get your last minute entries in. Looks like we have quite a bit of reading to do next week.
Check out contests section for more details.

Jeremy informs me he is quite disappointed in the recent personal attacks and flames going in the comment section.

While we welcome you guys to critique and ridicule each others opinions we will not allow personal attacks. If you want to beat each other up then take it to email. It has gotten to the point that reading anything political or religious gives me a migraine. We encourage you to argue about MCcain Vs. Obama, but don't take it to a personal level.

Unfortunately, I am losing faith that we all can remain civil.

To learn that some of you feel we are being one-sided is absolutely preposterous and hurtful.

You need to realize that Jeremy and I spend most of our time chasing after the annoying Watch (popular TV show here) blurbs to have to babysit a few members.

We all get hot and angry over comments, but heed this last warning. Get it under control or do we need to be so childish to dish out 10 day suspensions?

An adult time out, if you will.

I surely, hope not.

To those of you who have been flagging more and more we whole-heartedly thank you!!!

Please keep it up.

Got an idea for a new contest? Drop a comment.

Got an idea for a new shirt or product? Drop a comment.

Got $15 bucks and want to spread the word about Xomba?

Buy a shirt!!!

Monday is a holiday here in the states, so new articles will be posted Tuesday morning.

We have banners coming. We're undergoing final edits on them now. You'll soon be able to post banners with your referral code all over the internet. I'm sure webmasters everywhere will be rejoicing!

As a matter of fact, I think

As a matter of fact, I think there is. However, I blame my own stupidity on a high fever, PMS and well, just being me.

You know, I did apologize

You know, I did apologize for that and offer an explanation.

I agree

We should try and get along. I don't like reading the political or religious bytes and blurbs either because of the insane personal insults. What's going on with everyone? Is there a full moon or something?

Can't we all just get along?

Thank you for addressing the comment attack issue. Lately I have wanted to comment on articles but decided not to in fear of retaliation. I think an adult time out sounds great. Kudos. Angel RobinetteDesign.com http://robinettedesign.blogspot.com

About those personal attacks

I got called a moron today because I held a slight disagreement with a user. Yup, the same day I try to write about why we don't allow personal attacks is the same day I get called a moron. Read it www.xomba.com/stigma_and_intolerance_in_the_dark_knight#comment-33751 Opinions everyone has them. As writers you have to get used to that. Calling someone a name only shows how inferior your opinion truly is. We're not tolerating that here.
