Haha, I kid! I figure they just hate me and all that I stand for. Or perhaps liked my one fart joke and were disappointed when more weren't immediately forthcoming. Anyway, to quote Gandhi, "Haters gonna hate, yo." I always assume that people who unfollow me were just overcome with a profound sense of unworthiness.

Dang, you'll be in San Francisco on your book tour while I'm out of town. Hope you'll plan another trip next year. Hey, you should come to Petaluma, Ca. It's just thirty-six miles north of San Francisco. (Yes, my brother and I had an argument over the distance, looked it up, and I won) These people remind me of the drivers that flip me off in traffic when they are the ones that cut me off.

Totally happens to me all the time. When I get my daily report of what cool stuff happened on Twitter while I ignored the place, and it starts out with who's a new follower and who's a new "quitter", I absolutely click first on the quitters' names to see who the heck this was that doesn't love me anymore. Even though we never knew each other. I'll never be the one on the sidewalk outside the bus, Jenny. I'll always be the one hovering near your seat hoping you notice me! “I’ll miss you, stupid strangers.” Totally happens to me all the time.

I don't have twitter, but I'm getting it right now. I MUST find out what you are saying that is so incredibly offensive. I feel left out that I'm not stalking you closely enough!!! Here I come twitter! So… I don’t have twitter, but I’m getting it right now. I MUST find out what you are saying that is so incredibly offensive.

And I always feel hurt when these people who don't even know me offend me, so when I unfollow them I'm always like, "yeah! Take that!" even though they probably (almost certainly) never even knew that I followed them in the first place. Anyways- I just finished your book today and totally laughed and enjoyed it greatly... I look forward to following your blog :)....

Good luck as you craft your perfect twitter feed. If you decide you need any additional spice and excitement in it, please feel-free to re-follow. The Gracious Bloggess does not block.

I'll leave a comment on this one. I'll friend ya! I just read your book. Never have ever heard of you before but funnily in the past have heard of the name The Bloggess and at the time just quickly thought to myself, now she sounds like a stuck up cow (The Duchess, The Princess) were descriptions running through my mind .... well I missed out on that link didn't I? I think I'm the stupid cow. I freaking LOVED your book. I immediately recommended it to my 20yo daughter as the style of your thoughts in your book is very much like my daughter who is an amazing but weird and eclectic young woman and will go FAR in this world. Anyway .... I am now your biggest fan (ha!) and a dedicated follower to all your social media and since I live in Australia, there is no chance of me camping on your porch at 3am and screaming "I LOVE YOU BLOGGESS!" after having consumed 27 scotch and cokes and feeling the love. Seriously ... you ... are ... the ... shit! :) Sincerely Yours, Jennifer Sydney Australia (currently holidaying in Tokyo perving at all the cute salarymen ... you know who you are! :) ) Hooollleee shit!

First of, you are hilarious and I really appreciate how you are very honest about how you feel, and secondly, if they are un-following you what the hell is the point it informing you? Did they think you would be like "OH NO.... how can I change myself to please u?? seriously, i live for you." lol That’s just silly!

When *I* unfollow people, I try to do it with stealth, hoping like hell they will not realize. I thought mostly people didn't know if you unfollow because I'm sure I wouldn't know unless it was a close friend or something, but after the first time I unfollowed someone, she tweeted me and asked what happened, and then I was consumed with guilt (cuz I like her, I just found her twitter stream kind of triggery, but that's not her issue, it's mine). I can't imagine WANTING to tell someone you unfollowed them. I'm really curious what these people find offensive. Mushroom-shaped boobs? Angry vaginas? Taxidermied rodents in costume? It's gotta be something really risque like arguments with your husband or pictures of your cats. You totes crossed the line there. That is so weird.

I'm not saying change TheBloggess, but maybe have a tandem site, TheBloggette for Juniors and those adults with tender sensibilities.
