I don't understand either why people would do this sort of thing...it's just cruel and uncalled for. Your friend could always choose to moderate comments although it would still mean her having to see the mean words. I so wish people could be more considerate of the feelings of others. :(<br /><br />Julie Marie, I just read your comment and realise that you have been dealing with these nasty comments. I've been lucky so far but, like you, I'm very sensitive and would be feeling hurt under the same circumstances. Thank goodness the positives in the blogging community far outweigh the negatives. Know too that some people out there think it's fun to browse blogs leaving mean comments on purpose. They're not worth paying heed to. xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202465070162331558.post-56378198639029930242011-09-24T07:52:42.567-07:002011-09-24T07:52:42.567-07:00Hello Jo... just stopped in to read your post onc...Hello Jo... just stopped in to read your post once more and read of all the comments today too... you have a fabulous following of ladies and I sooo appreciate their support! (and yours!)... I am not a weak or timid person as you know, and I do not get intimidated... but I am also a sensitive person and do get hurt feelings, especially as I am still recovering from surgery when all of this happened... I do not make excuses for bad behavior, and like so many of the ladies said "nice matters"... I am a nice lady to everyone, but there comes a time to draw the line... taking a break was just what I needed... I miss all of my dear blogging friends and will be back soon!... xoxo Julie MarieJulie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351116606101921159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202465070162331558.post-47144177439743309692011-09-24T04:14:16.973-07:002011-09-24T04:14:16.973-07:00AMEN!

I have been doing some soul searching just this week on what I can do to change that. I thought about wearing a braclet or something as a reminder to control my tongue. To be only nice and love those who I do not understand. You are absolutely right... Life is to short to be mean.

I can't imagine why and who resorts to such petty meanness. Gramma would not be happy with their manners. Thanks for sharing. One of your followers said she just ignored them and I guess that is all we can do. Pass the kindness on.

I have had it only happen to me once & I was shocked & hurt, but I refused to allow an unlovely experience & a troubled person unduly influence what I believe to be an enriching experience overall. I strongly believe that hurting people have a tendency to hurt people, it's not an excuse, since there is never a good reason for bad behavior, but it is often an explanation I ponder in order to extend Grace to someone who has been unlovely towards me or attacked me personally. I never know the backend story of these unfortunate individuals who feel the need to express themselves in a hurtful way so all I can do is forgive them and pray for them, that they may perhaps be convicted of how hurtful their words or actions are towards the recipients of their anger, fears or bias. I Pray that your Friend heals from the experience and once again rejoins us in this wonderful Community where the majority of people are kind, friendly and generous beyond words.<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by to say such sweet words about our newest Princess.

I agree with<br />you that we should all respect everyone's beliefs. Most of the posts I<br />have read on Blogger honor this.<br /><br />I notice many people on here prefer to screen their comments, luckily I<br />have not had any reason to put that into place yet. Everyone has been<br />very kind to me. <br /><br />Screening could be an option for your friend but, the thing is you still<br />read the comment in private and it still is implanted in your memory.<br /><br />There should be a way to report these kind of actions and have the<br />guilty party banned from the site. Perhaps there is something in place<br />but I a m fairly new to this site.<br /><br />I hope the situation can be resolved and that your friend can feel<br />at home again expressing her feelings soon.<br /><br />SharonOn Fragile Wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283355184702694184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202465070162331558.post-26246338732727584582011-09-19T16:47:47.312-07:002011-09-19T16:47:47.312-07:00Bullying is everywhere and I'm sorry it causes...Bullying is everywhere and I'm sorry it causes someone to stop doing what they love.

It was very bizarre and I was having a hard time understanding why people were spending so much time critiquing my blog, it forced me to quit for some time, and then I realized it was my blog. I often do not understand why people just don't move on from a blog, if they do not like the content of it. I hope your friend will reconsider and not being bullied out of something she enjoys.Average Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171277050030497007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202465070162331558.post-18395999131609583052011-09-19T12:21:41.153-07:002011-09-19T12:21:41.153-07:00If you don't have anything nice to say don'...If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all holds true on the worldwide web just as it does in real life. I don't understand why some people just feel the need to lash out to say negative things. It's people like that that cause all the problems, intolerance and hatred in this world. I say live and let live. No one is forced to read a blog or to agree with everything anyone says. Just move on if you don't like something. Wishing safe travels.

I believe we all live in an eternal state of perfect grace, no matter our faith. I'm sorry about the comments on your friend's blog. I think we can disagree with compassion and respect. Commenters on my blog don't always agree with me. That's fine. But I won't post comments that are rude or include personal attacks. Actually, I've only gotten a very few of those. If I got lots, I would probably become discouraged like your friend. That is really too bad. <br /><br />The concept of right speech in Buddhism suggests answering three questions--Is what I'm about to say true, necessary, kind? Or put another way, Is what I'm about to say an improvement on silence? We should all ask this before we comment!Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.com
