I've had my problems with comments over the last 5 years or so and have stopped blogging for periods of time, the last being 7 months. Although I have returned to blogging, I just don't blog about anything that could attract dissenters anymore. I sometimes wonder why I still blog as it's now a poor reflection of the woman I really am.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-89856594811004882452016-11-15T11:13:07.473-06:002016-11-15T11:13:07.473-06:00That's very sad that your virtual friend stopp...That's very sad that your virtual friend stopped blogging.

Or perhaps my spammer catches the comment before it gets posted. On the flip side I have NEVER posted a nasty comment on anyone's blog...I mean...why would I? If I didn't like what someone posted about I would no longer bother to read their blog. Seems pretty simple. I really don't understand what a troll gains from leaving a nasty comment - anonymously of course. They never use their real name! So, never mind, carry on. I'll be here reading your blog and the others in my blog roll.

I think we all know this quote don't we? My blog is very hit and miss in its consistency and I tend to mainly post about my travel plans and leave family stuff out of it so I've had only positive comments so far. However I have read other vitriolic comments posted on others blogs. These people are clearly unhappy with their lot in life and need our pity. I'm not sure I would stop posting if I was to receive unpleasant comments either I think I'd just ignore and carry on the lovely people blogging far outweigh the nasty ones.

I do feel a sense of community here. Luckily I have not had any flamers, but I admit, I avoid controversial topics like politics and religion, but soccer? Well, come to think of it, I remember some of those parents on the sidelines. I guess we can add sports to the list too. It's just sad when people can't communicate without getting "ugly," as they say here in the south, (where this liberal-blue-Yankee-democrat clearly does not belong).
