If someone does NOT like reading a particular journal they should prefer to hit the "X" at the right hand corner and click off of the journal. <br><br>I feel that people should feel comfortable sharing their lives or their problems or the joys in their journal. A journal is a place where a person should feel comfortable enough to express himself or herself without feeling like they will upset someone. I think that it would be a terrible thing if I couldn't be myself in my journal just because someone doesn't like reading it. No one should feel that they should have to hold themselves back from writing what they feel in their journal. I also think its terrible that anyone should get nasty comments from anyone in their journal. <br><br>I think that whatever a person is going through they should feel that they can talk about it in their journal and if the person reading it doesn't like it well that's what the "X" at the top of the right hand corner is for. <br><br>Thanks for sharing this.

I will never understand why anyone feels the need to judge the content of someone else's journal or blog unless asked to do so. If you don't like what you're reading, then stop reading it. Or write an entry that refutes what you didn't like and let others comment on YOUR entry. Don't put someone down because they are writing what they want. If you must express your own differing opinion in that person's comment section, then do so respectfully, aknowledging their right to their own opinions. That's my opinion, anyway.<br>Lori<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236194478203538831.post-25226869723935016292008-02-19T05:05:00.000+00:002008-02-19T05:05:00.000+00:00I totally understand BOTH sides!!

I do like to think however I write about topics to make you seriously think. I'm also well aware that people deal with things in their lives in different ways. No one is going to be 100% happy ever. If you want the world to believe that, your lying to yourself. Human nature makes us deal with anger, sorrow, pain, joy, peace and happiness in our own capacity. If your at a place in your life you can't contribute something nice to say, don't say anything, but don't belittle someone else from dealing with it their way either.

Someone copied & pasted the comment I wrote here earlier & emailed it back to me saying I had hurt someone else's feelings with it(perhaps that "someone else" should have just told me herself & I would have apologized, not for the content or my thought process, because it is indeed how I feel, but for her hurt). That was surely not my intent, but I do find it funny that the very people who jealously guard their own right to write as they see fit, want to deny me that right. Impulsive rants & snap judgments are very telling. Anyone who is offended by what I say should let me know & I won't visit their journal or "bother" them, but I will continue to comment as I see fit, as I am sure they will continue to write as they see fit. ~MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236194478203538831.post-80337436931741244762008-02-20T02:44:00.000+00:002008-02-20T02:44:00.000+00:00Hi Guido,I agree with you.
