The Responsibility of Blogging
It has come to pass that I must make a statement about the world of blogs. Time has progressed in the blog world, and some new rules need to be agreed upon and adhered to.
Here are some proposals I'd like to make:
If you wish to post anonymously, that is fine. Feel free to say whatever you want to say about whoever you want.
If you wish for only those invited to your blog to view it, please ask your friends to not link your blog on theirs.
If you are going to post as yourself, and you do not want people sending you angry e-mails letting you know that a particular post was offensive or hurtful, do not leave an e-mail address on your site.
If you still let your friends link to your site and you still want to post whatever you want to about whoever you want, please be prepared to be e-mailed by those whose feelings have been hurt.
Basically, don't post a rant about someone's ex-boyfriend when you know that said ex-boyfriend and all of his friends are VERY LIKELY to come upon that post and read it and infer certain things about him. Don't post intentionally hurtful things and then try to hide behind the whole "It's my blog, I'll say what I want and ban the IP addresses of all who disagree with me."
Because that won't cut it anymore. Let's try some etiquette, people.

veramente notevole! scusa se preferisco risponderti in italiano ma sono convinta che sia necessario un certo rispetto per tutte le lingue... per di più dicendo quello che voglio dire in italiano (tu te lo puoi sempre tradurre, anche con Google Translator ad esempio)sono sicura di dire esattamente quello che voglio, nel modo in cui voglio che sia! Sono molto d'accordo con ciò che scrivi, ci vuole decenza, persino, anzi no, soprattutto qui in rete!
baci baci ^^
I do not understand what Emeraldolly wrote, but that is cute little picture!
Bubbie, ya don't write. ya don't call. i worry. oy!
I say that a fun addition to this is that IF someone writes a post, that is generalized and not directly about YOU, but it pisses you off, perhaps you should refrain from then blogging semi-mean and hurtful things DIRECTLY about said person just because your feelings are hurt.
Also, then if you think it is fun to kill any blog entry they comment on later, it isn't fun. It's mean.
Not that that happened to me or anything...
