I fully expect negative comments and as of yet; they've all been positive,loving and filled with nice things. <br /><br />Perhaps if I ever am inundated with "strong dislike" comments; I'll moderate.

I think that should be illegal. I think that if you post a negative comment your name should be up there so that everyone knows how you feel.

I nearly died. Instead, I commented on THEIR post about how I never claimed to be anything BUT "Just ANother Mommy Blog." DUH!

Alex had linked to your post-negative comment post and I felt this urge to come over to show my support, even though at that point I had no idea who you were! I left my first comment on your blog and it would be the beginning of many more visits I'd enjoy. It really is surprising how many unexpected doors can open through something that started out so negatively.<br /><br />A (male) friend recently shared with me his whole way of thinking when it comes to these things (us worrying about what others think) - I think alot of women tend to assume there is something about us that causes inappropriate behavior in others. He said, no, we have to think of it as the other person having the problem, not us. I have tried to do that. It helps a bit.<br /><br />Something is going on with a person who will take the time and effort to write something to cut others down. It could be insecurity, a feeling of being threatened, or something. A normal secure person will not do that. <br /><br />I am so glad you never gave up!!Only Youhttp://onlyoublog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-54701076787975802562011-01-02T20:57:41.064-06:002011-01-02T20:57:41.064-06:00This was so crazy when it happened, and what a cow...This was so crazy when it happened, and what a cowardly way to do it too. But you found a way to turn it around and find the good in your other commenters, who outnumber this one by a landslide.
