I received a question recently about giving out photos. I’ll admit that the question was poorly written and quite blunt, and I answered it as such. Then some of you decided to comment on that post, with nothing worthwhile to say. The insults dished out toward the questioner are rude and unacceptable here. I’m ashamed that any of my readers would post something so potentially hurtful here!
I make it a point to answer just about every single thing that you all send me. I do it because each and every single one of my readers is important to me, and I like to take a personal interest in each of you, as much as I am able, and that means treating everyone with respect. The only ones who don’t get respect from me are those who repeatedly break any of my rules. I don’t have any posted rules here (just for my chatroom), but I would think that basic respect and refraining from crude insults and bullying would be pretty self-evident.
My blog is for me and you to be able to speak freely, with no concern for propriety or being made fun of or anything of the sort. We can all speak freely here, as long as everyone is given due respect.
For the first time, I am censoring my blog. The Q&A post in question is deleted, as are all comments associated with it. This hurts me. I hope this is a one-time deal, because interacting with my readers is something I really enjoy, and my next step would be to disable the ability for you to comment on my posts.
