Now I am pretty new to blogging (started in Feb, of this year) and I have become quickly addicted. It think its the appeal to say what you want, vent, write, and read up on other people with similar situations. I love it. But one of the many things I love the most is the freedom to write whenever, however, and say whatever I want. The problem with this (as with anything you put on the Internet these days) is it opens you up for rude, impolite cynical people to read in on your life (and up until today) make anonymous comments about your blog. Now when I first started my blog I allowed these comments. I allowed them because I thought to myself, "well you are putting it out on the web for people to read so you may as well let people say what they would like to say! Well that wasn't until I have recently gotten some rude and never ending anonymous comments on my blog. Criticizing how i say things, how I title my blogs, and how grammatically and politically correct I am. So this is my message to the "anonymous blog commenters" (not sure if that last sentence is grammatically correct enough for you, my personal blog editor) but... I think it is completely inappropriate that people feel the need to criticize other peoples thoughts and writings. The beauty of blogging is that we have the freedom to say whatever however we want, if you have some comments about blogs you are reading that are rude or cynical please keep them you yourself. If you read something you done like ... there is a small red X at the top right hand corner of your screen. Please feel free to use it. :0) There is no need to constantly criticize peoples thoughts, writings, pictures, ideas, or opinions.
On a lighter note I would love to Thank all of my followers, and readers who provide thoughtful comments, and comments worth reading and thinking about. I appreciate all of the non cynical and actually constructive criticism comments that actually help.
I hope everyone out there blogs and comments with kindness. You never know who you are offending. And again if someone is writing about something you don't agree with, or pronouncing something you think is wrong... I encourage you to ignore it and carry on to the next blog!
Have a great week all!

Good for you! I haven't done any venting on my blog just yet, waiting for the right opportunity ;) but when I do, I dare someone to be rude about it! I hope they choose to use the little red x too ;) Have a great week!
Great post!! I have not gotten any rude comments YET & I am suprised because I am so opinionated & sarcastic sometimes! I think I have mine set up so they can't comment anonymously. I'm sure mine is coming though :)
Anyway, I love your blog!
Have a great week!
Oh goodness, I have been reading a LOT about crazy rude anonymous commenters lately...which is why I decided to make that impossible on my blog before it even started...some people just don't know when to stop. Glad that you put a stop to it, but so sorry you had to deal with it!!
wow... I can't even believe the nerve of some people... and I could have written that post myself.... I turned anonymous comments off when i started this new blog... my last blog... I just ended up deleting it because i was so taken back by the anonymouse commenters... this time i just blocked them before they could have the chance to have their diggs.... don't take it personally.... I love your blog... and I truly love to read blogs that are REAL.... not all vetted out... sorry you had to endure this...
You said that well!
I am glad you aren't letting the haters get to you!
Amen! :)
I always say...I blog from my heart...I'm not an editor!!...lol
