The more I blog the deeper I go. All I want to do is blog. I am different? Are Bloggers different? If so why? Could someone explain this to me?

  Thanks I like this.... Is it fair to think that Bloggers are better people or less violent?

  No, that's not "fair" at all. In fact, it's just silly. There is no characteristic that's common to "bloggers" except that they, frequently or occasionally, blog.

  So what is the difference between a passion for blogging and an obsession with blogging?

  I'm happy to hear you enjoyed my humor post on my blog titled:
  Are you ready to take the Bloggers' Pledge?
  
  Question: Is it fair to think that Bloggers are better people or less violent?
  
  I agree with MadameX so my answer to your question is "no".

In a way that can be true.Blogger is a kind of creature,is well nourished and stuffed with observation,understandings,delivered and often free as flies.A blogger works really hard to maintain his position and reputation.In that sense he is a regular worker.That requires support by getting comments and acceptance by readers.On the whole blogger is that ,who creates and distributes his own logs.

  Bloggers are better communicators of ideas and information,we write our passions and share them with the world online. Dose that make us different than others? Are we better at who and what we are?

  and what of bloggers who rant and rave about politics, racist, women hating, men hating etc and perpetuate lies, gossip, stereotypes? There are millions of blogs out there and some are well done and others are a load of tripe.

There are different levels of bloggers, some good and some are bad? What makes a good Blogger and why?

  I would say it is subjective and depends on what one is interested in reading. Some can write well but are boring, some can be poor writers but be very interesting. Depends on the subject as well.
  
  What makes a good blogger for me is consistency, a template that isn't distracting, no distracting ads, an interesting subject, good writing and good images.

Bloggers are somebody whore read and write it back. or they are willing to share something, to create more and more knowledgeable/ know how/interesting world. Either they are doing it for fun, serious for money or just to earn some fame, as long as they don't spam, all are welcome. Now everybody can write and socialize.

Bloggers: they definitely have bigger beards, fewer thumbs and eat more artichokes than most people:

I also think that your question kind of flows into the following disucssion:

I feel bloggers are different in the sense that they can sit for hours together, be with themselves, think, and write..though people do such activities in other professions as well but the number of such individuals is certainly less.

  Which certainly makes us oddballs.
  
  A distinction I can live with.

Bloggers are people who love to shwcase their interest and need followers to be happy. Do bloggers really need followers?

  I really want followers. Even with my years of writing/drawing in sketch journals, I always did so with the hope that someday my version of my life would be available to others. "Attention must be paid." I don't know who said that but the words resonate with me. I have no descendants, no one to tell stories to their children of what "Dad" or "Grandpa" did. Stories I grew up hearing and retelling and enjoying. The need is within me. To tell my own story. And hopefully pass it on.

  That's a generalization.
  
  Me? I don't mind having 'followers.' But I'm at least as interested in total traffic. My income relies partly on advertising, and traffic = clicks = checks in the mail.
  
  Philistine? Capitalistic? Well, yes, sort of. But I've gotten into the habit of regular meals: and Minnesota winters are easier to weather, with four walls, a roof, and a furnace.

Depends on how you really analyze it from a wide perspective.

Everyone is unique in their own way.

I snowboard, does that make me different than everyone else and more alike than those on the mountain? No. It just means we share a common interest. My chairlift companion and I both enjoy the same thing but are completely different, same goes for bloggers IMO.
