This is just a quick note, to set a few things straight, as there are some things that have been p*ssing me off of late… [Website – Amy Grindhouse]
This post is only for the leeches that I seem to have acquired by running this blog and does not apply to most who will be nosey and read it anyway (having said that, if you even think I may be talking about you, you are probably right and should read on).
I am a one-woman blog and frankly, I am not your f*cking free blog-advisor. I have been nice, thus far, and very open as my regular readers are the same way. I am not, however, anyone’s blog consultant. So basically, unless you are a very good friend to this blog, stop asking me inane questions. You’re driving me potty!
I have been spending a lot of time lately, spoon-feeding some fellow bloggers. Don’t get me wrong, I am all about using the blogosphere as a community and connecting with people with similar interests. However, one thing I have never done is beg another blogger for tips or outright jacked their sh*t.
I work very hard at researching everything that goes into making this blog. I have spent years developing the ideas behind the concept and months researching each of its elements, in order to put it together.
For example, each post, on here, takes up to 45 minutes and 8 sources to write and is accompanied by (mostly) licensed images and official HQ video. So, you can see why it chaps my arse and saps my energy, not publicly flaming people who I can see have been lazy and ripped off my ideas/ work/ leads/ images/ links. If you run your own blog, and especially if you started before me, you shouldn’t really need so much help from a noob, eh? Work it out your mudderfunkin’ self and stop hittin’ me up when you get stuck/ nicking content and formatting/ otherwise biting my style.
Don’t be lazy. You’ll get no more freebies from me. Do your own research!
I only have so many hours in the day and I would rather spend them blogging than hand-holding.
Again, for those who read this post despite the above disclaimer, I am not flaming 95% of those who have read this. Just saying is all. I know this post sucks b*lls, but it needed to be said.
P.S. I may well be updating my About and Terms & Legal pages in the next few days to reflect the above.
UPDATE/ ADDENDUM: I noticed that several of the people, at whom I aimed this post, stopped by and did not read this open letter. Some paid a visit and conveniently skipped right over it. I would strongly advise that people go back and read this post once more, if they even think I may be talking about them.
Do not mistake my responses/ emails/ comments for acknowledgement that the above is not about you. Really, a friendly response to a comment, does not absolve you of the above. All it means is that I try to keep my comment areas civil. Frankly, unless I mention to you, personally, that the post does not apply to you (as I did with my good friends Chris, Danity and Mik, who commented and offered support right below) I am probably addressing you and your liberty taking.

Hello
Thanks for the back rub.
Just annoying me that some (not you Mr Chrindhouse
) are mistaking my attempts at kindness for weakness. The above is an explosion of anger at the astonishing laziness of some people that have passed through here and taken liberties. I may leave this post near the top as a kind of sticky for a day or two, just so people know I am bloody serious.
I’m over helping people to retarded to help themselves. You’re right, only responsible for myself (and you
)
Also, no fighting today, thank you.
YIKES! I get that a lot too, but you gotta hang tough…keep doin’ what you are doin’.
Hi there
Thanks for stopping by. This is not aimed at most people, especially not you, but certain pains in my bottom, who I can’t seem to shake off.
I appreciate the support, as I am sure you know how draining it can become!
Will stay true.
You’re a star and I am one of your biggest fans D.D.
