Peace.

Published on January 1, 2005 By dharmagrl In Blogging

As an act of goodwill, I have decided to rescind my decision to allow only registered users to respond on my blog. It's open for all....anyone who wishes to comment may do so.

I have made my peace with those I formerly described as trolls, and they are welcome here.

I stand by my 'zero tolerance' policy....any troll-esque remarks will still be deleted, but I honestly don't expect too many now.

May 2005 usher in a new era of understanding and mutual respect. Let's all try and keep it civilized, shall we?

I'm glad you decided to let up on the no replies from non-users

I am too. Hopefully people won't abuse that...but if they do, I'll just delete and try and move on.

I just don't have the energy and know myself well enough that I don't just delete nasty comments and move on. I dwell so therefore, I avoid it all together.

I used to as well. It was draining me of emotional energy, and I realized that whilst I cannot stop people thinking and saying nasty things about me, I can stop myself from dwelling on it. Occasionally someone will say something that touches a nerve, but I get over it quicker now.

I thought to leave something horrid here, but then thought better of it.

Oh Mikey, please don't do me wrong like all the rest of them have!!!

*hugs* to you too....

I know how hard it is, I struggle with it every day. I'm trying to change for the better...some may say I am setting myself up for failure, but I have to try. If I didn't try...well, that in itself would be defeatist, and that's one thng I am not.

Good advice again Dharma. I have to tell you though, there are a few here for whom I do not deem it worth my time or effort to acknowledge their presence. And if they wander into my territory I will show them no remorse. But they should know who they are.

I understand that totally. Tolerance and peacefulness doesn't mean you let yourself be abused......

namaste, my friend. I wish I could let myself be less cynical, but I'm not to that point yet.

Namaste to you too.....

...I'm trying. It's not going to be an easy path, and no doubt I will stumble and fall sometimes...but I have to try.

lol at least they still READ you!

Half the people who used to post on my blog here are ignoring me

although with the replies I've BEEN getting, it looks like I sacrificed quanity for quality.

It's a fair cop.

Yeah, I saw that....and that makes me sad. However, as you said, you've had some good discussions on your threads....and THAT makes me happy!

Yeah, it makes me happy, too. I don't begrudge a soul for ignoring my blog -- I've been up to some antics lately as opposed to "semantics" which is my field, eh? Time's the healer, isn't it? The ones of you who always understood are still posting, and perhaps some of the others will come around. Just gives me incentive to publish quality work, doesn't it? I mean, after all, one shouldn't expect quality responses from sub-par work.

No, and that's why I usually get one or two line responses on my threads

this response

at least.

Peace and health and joy and all the good things one can think of for you and your family dharma

I think you're getting wiser, just like a good wine: getting better through the years...
