I also made the commitment to be open to comments on my blog, something I am steeling myself to receive. I understand the necessity of being open to comments, but that doesn't mean I will enjoy or understand some comments. I stated in an earlier post that I would not allow comments. This was based on reading comments in the past from various blogs and news sites. I have always been amazed that just because someone has an opinion doesn't mean everyone (or anyone!) wants to read that opinion. I've often thought there are those individuals who appear to take great pleasure in making comments that insight conflict rather than offer something to the discussion. I thought then, as I do now, if you have an opinion get your own blog!
That said, I have some requests about posting comments:
- Be to the point.
- If possible, be constructive.
- These are my opinions, thoughts, ideas, observations, etc., and I'm sure I will make mistakes.
- I fully own my posts, they're mine and I accept the responsibility of my comments. If I'm wrong I will respond in an appropriate manner and own up when I believe necessary.
- Own your comments, don't hide behind a pseudonym.
- Use appropriate language, my kids read my posts.
That said, comment away.
