I've read many blogs in my time on this site. As a blogmin, I obviously intend to read many more. So this blog is something I am writing to bring to light an epidemic I am seeing more an more of on this site. It's nothing to panic over, nothing to get all dramatic about or yell over...but it can be quite hurtful. When a blog is written, a lot of the time, the person who wrote it, they work hard on it. Then you get people who come along & read it, then they leave these hurtful, spitful, negative, poisonous, venomous comments on the blog. I don't think this is needed. I'm not saying that you can't debate as to why you didn't enjoy the blog, but to leave a comment like "shut up about this, it's not true", or "this does not exist", or even, "this is a terrible blog, why did you even write it", it's hurtful to the person who wrote it, they worked to write that blog. They are sharing a piece of them with you, a piece of there mind with you. Constructive criticism, or a debate on whether it's true/exists, that's OK. But to actually put the blog itself down simply because you don't like it's content, or even the person isn't right, again, they worked hard, just like you do on your blogs. Keep that in mind. If you don't agree with the content of the blog, or just don't like it, then don't read it, or don't post anything if you have nothing constructive to say. From the time that I post THIS blog on, I will delete ANY comment on a blog that I deem poisonous, hurtful, negative, venomous, or all around just non-constructive. Remember everyone has their own opinions. You don't want people putting down YOUR opinions, so don't do the same. It all goes down to that same golden rule you learned back in kindergarten "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD WANT DONE TO YOU"
There is a difference between leaving a negative comment such as, "I really didn't enjoy this blog" or something along them lines, & something much worse, like "This is so stupid" or "why did you even WRITE this?" (yes, I have seen both) the latter 2, might I add, isn't needed. Negative & CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is fine...but POISON? NO....that is not. We are not here to hurt others. We don't write our blogs so that we can come back to read our comments & see venomous & hateful comments others want to leave because they can't just leave well enough alone. SO for them people who CAN'T leave well enough alone, nothing will be done, you won't get in trouble....you're comments will just be deleted from that blog & you might get a comment on your profile saying that a comment was deleted because that type of negativity just wasn't necessary.
I know, I see that....sometimes, I post not only the reason I'm accepting/denying the blog, but some constructive criticism on how they can fix things.
