it's just a blog

what is that supposed to mean, "it's just a blog" ? seems to me that when someone says that, they are trying to minimize the importance of a blog and say that people shouldn't take it so seriously. the problem with that line of reasoning is that you could say that about anything. it's just your life. it's just how you spend a great deal of your life, obviously. so are you saying that it's all a waste of time? that it's meaningless to you? then why not just give it up? that's like saying, "it's just a gun." a blog is like a gun. it's not what it is, it's how you use it. there's a person behind each and every blog (unless it's totally computer generated, i guess) and if people read your blog then it's more than just a blog. it is a medium of communication. it's just t.v. it's just radio. it's just a book. just a flag..... also, the whole idea of "if you don't like it don't read it, don't watch it, don't look at it." that's like saying, "Live in denial. Then you'll be happy! Just ignore everything you don't like." no.
