I don't normally post more than once a day (and today's recipe will post shortly!), but a recent situation has led me to make this post today.
We need to have a quick discussion on blog etiquette. I do often post on rather controversial topics, and as such, I expect that some people will disagree with me and will post comments to that effect. I am absolutely open to hearing other perspectives and opinions, and would even engage in debate if a comment -- respectfully -- called for it.
However, I will not tolerate personal attacks, rudeness, coarse language, or anything else of that nature. Those comments will be immediately deleted. I would like to believe that everyone reading this blog is an adult, and can handle the subject matter maturely. I would also like to believe that no one has so much time on their hands that they can write attacks on every single post for the sheer "pleasure" of doing so.
Hopefully blogging -- both what I have to say, and the responses my audience brings -- will continue to be a pleasant experience for us all. :)

Kate,
ReplyDeleteYou're making a good point here. I completely agree with you. I'd respectfully like to inquire though, why you "believe that no one has so much time on their hands that they can write attacks on every single post for the sheer 'pleasure' of doing so." How do you know that they're doing it for pleasure? Perhaps they just feel strongly for their argument. This is a rather expansive blog you have here--as a mother of two kids, you don't have much room to be criticizing others for how much time they spend on your page.
What is the purpose and intended audience of your blog? Are you doing this as a job or for a way to make some money? If not, how do you have time to write so many pieces? I am fascinated by your time mangement skills. Could you please post something about your typical day and how you have time to write so much? I think other moms could benefit from it; I know I would!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 1 -- I don't think your last comment was necessary.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 2 -- I've written a post explaining how I manage to blog, which will post tomorrow (Sunday).
You're right, that was a bit on the harsh side--I apologize. I still believe though, that it could be easy to misinterpret someone's strong argument as an attack, or that they were arguing merely for the pleasure. That's all.

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing how you manage your time so well! Raising two kids, being a wife, creating homemade gifts, cooking with organic ingredients - all of these worthwhile endeavors take so much time. Hearing how you manage all of it AND still have time to research so many things and write about them really, really interests me! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI"m curious, do censor the comments you receive even if they are not personal attacks, rude or coarse, or do you post any opposing viewpoint that is presented in the manner you describe above?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely do post comments that disagree with me and are not rude. You can look at other posts (Ways to Cut Spending, most recent health news Tuesday, others) and see several people who disagree with me.
