I completely understand why I get negative, hateful, and hurtful messages. But what is really perplexing is that some of these people actually believe that they will get some positive effect from them; as if by my reading these words somehow I'll be able to improve my lot in life. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
A really good point to remember. I used to be negative about a lot of things, but now I try to find the positive in anything. It actually becomes a whole attitude adjustment eventually.
ReplyDeleteWhen we set up the BANCO weblog in 2005 - we consciously decided to have open comments enable, even though we knew racist and negative comments would come in. For us it was to have them in the open air, said, that was important.
ReplyDeleteMany days and many comments made us rethink that decision, but we are still open comment. Good choice for you also.
