TIT FOR TAT

NEW RULES FOR ME AND MY RESPONCES.

While this might seem petty in some ways, I have decided to now enforce the following rules.

If I comment with any frequency to a persons blog and never get any responses on mine, I will no longer be commenting on said blog site. I figure if I can respond to someone articles and they do not return the favor, I might read said blog, but responses will become a thing of the past.

Call me a child, but the truth is, this hurts my feelings and to avoid hurt feelings, this is the solution I came up with.

Underneath the brash and bold front I put out there, there is really an unsecure soul that needs to be treated the way I treat others.

While I know that having expectations of being treated the way I treat others is doomed to fail, the vast majority of the time I just cannot help being the insecure creature I am.

So If my responces become scarce on your blog and you are used to seing my name under some responces, look no more, you know what is happening.

At least I am being upfront about this and not leaving you guessing about why ain't moderateman responding to you anymore.

This is more warning that I have gotten and should spare feelings, something I have not been spared of.

I have decided to execute that exact same policy myself just a while back.

Of course, I'm sure you're like me Elie in that you certainly don't expect people to respond to every blog you post, but they can respond to some (like one in ten or so) if I AM responding to theirs with any kind of frequency. So...great minds think a like, huh? I bet that puts a ripple of fear in ya! hahaha, Lol...

In contrast, I'm more likely to engage the ideas of others, by commenting in their articles, than to write a new article of my own.

Borrowing from Dr. Seuss, it actually made sense too!


I can't say I blame you Elie. It's not fair in some respects how some will faithfully follow a fellow blogger and get no props in return.

I feel ignored when I leave comments on another person's blog and they don't visit me on my blog at least once in a while....

Sometimes I'll leave a response to a blog and if the blogger doesn't say anything I just figure that whatever i said was redunant,  had already been said by another.  That's kind of different.

If I never hear from someone when I'm commenting on their blog,  well....maybe I'm just not their type I guess

I haven't been here, so I don't think it's me THIS time.....or is it?  If it is, can you please forgive me?  I didn't mean to piss you off, I just haven't been on JU much.  In fact, one of the last times I was was when I commented on your article about how dull it's become recently.

Your blog, your rules.

Life is too short to spend it feeling put out about something when it's something you can easily remedy.

that's nice I do to, but I think an article of your own is very cool too.

I see that as just being human trudy and for sure we are human.

Another reason I don't comment on your blog as often as I used to Elie is because you allow certain individuals to do whatever they want to in regards to vicious, off-topic personal attacks, as long as you 'like them' while chastising the rebuttals of those you 'don't like' even though they were attacked first or merely defending an absent friend.

I have already adressed this, with telling people "no more bashing anyone for any reason" on my blog, anyone that does so will have their comment deleted and if they continue, become blacklisted.
