Kaua'i Snarkclectic-A Snark For all seasons

snark

noun
Combination of "snide" and "remark". Sarcastic comment(s).
Also snarky (adj.) and snarkily (adv.)

His commentary was rife with snark.
"Your boundless ineptitude is astounding," she snarkily declared. 

AS we all know, with the influx of mainland ingenuity, progress, and whatever else you want to call it, we on Kaua'i have been experiencing, over the last several decades an increase in the ability of computers, the Internet, and access to social media.

With that comes all of the associated evils of that.

But lately, in particularly over the last five years or so, as we have sen a complete breakdown in the "Aloha Spirit", so called, due to the continued pouring in of outside influences to our island, be they bad, good well meaning or otherwise, we have also seen an incredible increase in rude postings, inciteful language filled with hate speech and race baiting, and an incredible amount of what can be seen as "Snark".

People with a political axe to grind, for whatever reason fuels their religious fervor on whatever side of the issue they come from. People simply are running amuk and completely out of control.

Several high profile blogs here, on our Island, have a literal field day with this whole social phenomenon, giving havens to ranters, ragers, and professional "Snarkists", as I like to call them.

Tired of being banned, and moderated so called, by the bias blog authors, we decided to bite back, with a healthy dose of humor. We parody an entire range of real blogs out there, whose blog authors allow posters to just go hog wild and say whatever stuff they like, even if it goes against people they know personally.

We think a lot of Snark goes way over the socially acceptable limit.

So here, we are about to even things up a little.

So, here are some ground rules.

You are not allowed to post on this blog as an anon. Real names, people. We don't hide here. If ya wanna be snarky, then be up front about it.

The only people that get to hide our identity is us. That's because the world isn't fair, and you are in our ball court now.

We will ban you for life if we don't like your snarky comments. Again, world isn't fair is it?

But, give it a shot. We don't "moderate" comments.

We just ban your okole. We figure we give aloha as we get aloha.

So, if you are still brave enough to post here rock on with your bad self.

However, we will be doing parodies of posts from other blogs, and frankly making fun of them. We will also be making fun of blog authors, as well, and we will be exposing truer snarkists as the snarky people they really are.

This is really about having some "fun" with those that frankly just take themselves WAY too seriously.

Also, no blogs, or blog authors will actually be NAMED here, but they will be ALLUDED to in parody. If you see yourself, or someone you know reflected in them, well...oops our bad. First amendment rights people.

If you don't want to see your snark posted here, then don't make snarky comments.

This we hope, just may shine some light on snarky behavior, and start to clean things up out there a little.

But, we doubt it.

Frankly we like having endless material to cull our parodies and humour and snark from.

Keeps us very motivated.

PS, Mr Chuck Lasker, is the first person to be banned from this blog. We enjoyed banning him very much. He earned it, and we enjoyed doing it. Amene.
