If you passed someone on the street and said half the things you see posted online, you would get beat down. <br /><br />I love that we can all disagree about the way things are done and most the time both parties are right.

I'm always amazed at how quickly people turn to being unkind. It seems to be even more true when they feel like they have some sort of 'justification' for doing so. We shouldn't be rude, even when someone else has been.

I've always felt that if a person is willing to use their real name in public, their brand name, they ought to know better than to besmirch it with their own words. A company does not go out of its way to take out an ad in the New York Times telling its customers how bad their product is. Then why should some bloggers do the same. But not so much using ads as much as using their words on their blog. It doesn't makes sense to me and you've posted about it in such an eloquent manner! <br /><br />BTW, love your new profile pic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-58197053260401269102012-03-09T16:08:34.253-07:002012-03-09T16:08:34.253-07:00Great post, and I totally agree.

I think professionalism isn't just a goal for bloggers who comment, it's also for bloggers who moderate conversations on their own site. A favorite blogger of mine actually wrote a post when her commenters started getting out of hand, saying she could take it when they were angry with her but couldn't allow them to start ripping on each other. Best of all, she made it funny.JoLynne Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029955836072785693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-31964323911715662432012-03-09T15:54:21.261-07:002012-03-09T15:54:21.261-07:00So agree we have to be careful what we say and how...So agree we have to be careful what we say and how we say it.
