If someone were spreading lies and rumors about your family and others were believing it, would you not try to correct things if you had a chance?Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771036840040393991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-59015232398927717482008-05-09T12:48:00.000-07:002008-05-09T12:48:00.000-07:00"stalking"?There's something here I don't understa..."stalking"?<BR/><BR/>There's something here I don't understand.

And some folks may want a larger readership but only really want to associate with like-minded people; they would just as soon be ignored by people who don't already agree with them. <BR/><BR/>I was told after commenting on one blog that the only reason to have a conversation on religion was to convert the other person to your own view. If that's Candy's understanding, then it doesn't surprise me she's strictly moderating her comments. I don't read Candy's blog, though, so I don't know what her deal is.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-73706567188530716282008-05-09T05:03:00.000-07:002008-05-09T05:03:00.000-07:00That's the confusing part - why post something con...That's the confusing part - why post something controversial if you're not going to allow diverging comments? I could understand if she only posted on homemaking, and if someone made a tacky or rude comment about homemaking or sahm's. It would make sense to delete those comments. But if you're going to post a controversial subject, then it seems you are wanting to open up a discussion. In Candy's case, it seems she only wants a bunch of pats on the back.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771036840040393991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-24903075635615474182008-05-09T04:28:00.000-07:002008-05-09T04:28:00.000-07:00I read a lot of blog building sites about to build...I read a lot of blog building sites about to build readership and most of those sites recommend allowing comments and posting on controversial subjects occasionally.

Venom? I don't think it's a bad thing to recognize that some folks welcome comments with no moderation at all and some folks don't enable _any_ commenting and there are blogs at every degree of "welcoming" in between those extremes. <BR/><BR/>Folks have radically different ways of handling conflict and disagreement and vary widely in the degree they tolerate either.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-34603696839745543532008-05-08T18:11:00.000-07:002008-05-08T18:11:00.000-07:00Venom?
