Expat – A good question. First I look at who it’s from to see if there’s a name or email, or if it’s just keywords. I look at the comment and see if it’s relevant to the post, written in sentences that make sense as opposed to just nonsense words. I allowed this one.

I really don't understand people on the Internet. I have also had to moderate all my comments due to "nasty" people. If they don't like the look of your blog, they don't have to read it. I personally love it!! Keep up the great work. kim's last blog post..My love of oysters

Hmm. not bad but why do u delete a comment which is made by reading the post and a good one…though it contains some commercial link? Don’t u thing reading ur blog and thinking about it is enough to let them keep their links…?

This was my first visit to your blog and I can't believe you got that nasty comment about your blog. I think your site looks great, and I hope to take away some tips...both from your design/layout (though as a newbie using Blogspot my design options seem pretty limited) as well your conversational writing style. Keep it up! RoxiticusDH's last blog post..March Madness Contest Update: Selection Sunday is Almost Here!

Someone really said that about your blog? ugh.

I can NOT understand why people feel the need to put down a blogger. It’s one thing to have a differing opinion about a topic (political bloggers get BEAT UP in the comments, I am sure)…but when you have your every day “I’m blogging for ME” blog, and someone feels the desire to burst your bubble…that just SUCKS.

There’s a blog I read daily, a girl with brain cancer, who is a Christian. She is quite open about her faith, and that’s one of the things I love about the blog. But she continually gets beat up about it. Honestly…if you don’t believe in God, why are you reading her blog? To get your jollies about someone who is suffering? Because she’s NOT. But the most vicious comment came about a COMMENT…one her Dad made. Her FATHER wrote: “I see God looking down and saying, ‘That’s my girl!’…and I agree.” Someone felt the need to say rude and uncalled-for things about her FATHER.

I just don’t understand anymore. If I start getting nasty comments on my blog, I will go to moderation. I HATE moderating comments, but that’s where I’ll go.

I PERSONALLY like your blog, that’s why I read it!
