I haven’t had to deal with many comments at this point; my blog is less than a month old. And then there’s the fact that I haven’t taken much of a position on anything yet (although you wouldn’t be into my post on Siamese cats, I’m pretty sure).

Thank you ‘notes’? I don’t think that’s necessary. Public conversation via the comments? Why not, as long is it’s polite. If there’s a need for a more personal comment, then e-mail would be more appropriate. Either way, though, getting a dialogue going is a good thing.

I’ve had my share of unkind comments. It use to bother me. I don’t let it get to me anymore. I myself typically don’t email a commenter, I’ll respond within the comments on their response. Everyone is free to email me and my email is visible for those to find. I figure if they want to comment directly to me they will email me and I will email directly back to whatever comment they have. Unless of course something has totally got out of hand. Then I will have to email directly. I like getting email-let’s me know I still exist somewhere out there to somebody (Even Comments).

You can also check out some of the posts i’ve written for some of the marketers I’ve worked with, but it might help.

in the beginning i was new to blog and those attacks were hard for me, i didnt take distance with it and felt hurted, but in times i received emails from others telling me to not care about that, its just vicious cat games of that little oligarchy and their guru.

but once month ago appeared a troll (its strange that troll is alltime same everywhere) and that troll (surely someone pissed off with that idiots oligarchy) came to bullshit on all blogs of everyone and mostly on the oligarchy ones, and put a mess for several months, and point by point showed to whole community that those guys member of that oligarchy were only small silly precious idiots, and those happy few feared the troll, and requested helps from others and from the webmaster to banip that troll,

sure he was banned
but since that time, from times to times others invisible are using the avatar of that troll to do same, and it was as a catharsis there, and even if that happyfew do same with their awful comments, my life there is better, im happy to blog there, my private blog isnt there anymore, i cant allow idiots to comments about what is precious to my life.

but tony you were right, i dont care about bad comments anymore, it cant hurt me but just revealed that sometimes i dont see all the sides of a topic and it could be helpful when not its ok i can delete it

if the comment is cool or flatterous i just email : thanks by email when possible

I probably wasn’t as gracious as I possibly could have been, but I also could have handled it differently. Oh well…you live, you learn. Besides, my blog is therapy for me, nothing more.
