Secondly, IF I was commenting on Evelyn's blog, who are you to talk to me about manners? Are you the manners police? Are you Evelyn's security? I think that Evelyn has proven herself quite able (and willing) to defend herself if needed. If she had a problem with my "manners" she would not have allowed it on the site in the first place. <br /><br />Good on you though for your reading comprehension. 7:50noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-9516007236153457852015-07-08T22:57:57.625-05:002015-07-08T22:57:57.625-05:00Those who blog set the tone for the blog and decid...Those who blog set the tone for the blog and decide on the rules. That's how blogs work. My blog does not require ID, just an email address, and one must input verification code (some get discouraged because characters may be hard to read sometimes), and comments are moderated just because site can be easily spammed with automated spam comments. I had that once going, I was receiving over 1000 comments in one day. Never mind I got hacked with malware and kicked out from Google search engine temporarily. Unfortunate. It is such a pain.<br /><br />Before blogs came out <b>Discussion</b> forums were very popular where users could start their own discussion threads. A moderator is required to keep things in order. I have this option on my blog, but not sure if it is worth setting up at this point.<br /><br />Lastly, in the last couple of years I changed course of my blog from <b>.ca</b> to <b>.com</b>/ where I decided to share space and allow others to submit posts. I got this idea because I was approached many times to write. When I launched the enhanced blog, suddenly everyone disappeared and when I proposed writing they never came back. Only few did. I guess writing isn't that easy. I have same rule, I will write as long it is my own experience, my content. I don't write for others.

However, if you look at that blog, check out how many comments are posted. Usually zero. Sure once in a while he will let one through but he has NEVER posted a contradictory post to his own - at least Evelyn does that. You will never see a debate on his blog, you will only see his rantings with cute doctored photos and a laundry list of links to other web sites to back up his position. <br /><br />I have not gone to Anna's blog to comment.
