Lifes Like That

Wednesday I had a very upsetting and quite unsettling day here on the Internet.  So, yesterday I decided to take a me day.  I found this was extremely important to me to step away from the computer and only worry about my “real life” for a change.  What triggered this horrible day was I wrote a post on a teenager being caught drinking. (it’s in this blog, but I won’t link to it).  You wouldn’t believe the comments and bashing I received over this post.  You would have thought people thought I was talking about their child and school.

So, since this turn of events did upset me quite a bit, I decided not to go online at all yesterday.  I needed to find out that if  by staying away from all the “nasty commenter’s” I could bring back my love of blogging.  I am happy to report that it did and I have come to a decision that these types of commenter’s will never get me down again.  It’s my blog and my words.  If they don’t agree with me and want to get nasty about the whole thing, then they don’t ever need to come back to my blog for another visit.

Now before anyone here gets upset with me for this post.  Let me make one thing clear!  I welcome comments and I do publish most of them.  Even if the commenter doesn’t agree with me.  But, when you start to get nasty, I will not publish the comment.  If you want to have a rational (even heated) exchange of words and ideas, I am more than up for this.  But, I will not subject myself to people who  just want to be nasty.

I’m in a better frame of mind today so that’s how I know a ME day was successful!
