its hard sometimes to remember how personal some of these blogs can be. Even though theres a choice when you make the blog, often people will choose to make it public because they would just like to see if anyone relates to them, or maybe to feel a little less alone in the world. But underneath it all, a journal is for personal and private thoughts and emotions. Its to say all the things you cant just talk about in passing or to just anyone. Whether it be a lifestyle or just a personal opinion, you post freely because you know the people that read will not judge you nor attack how you feel.
If I have a problem with someone in my daily life, I will post how I feel about them, or a certain group of people on here without a second thought. And if they happen to read that specific post. they have no right to attack how you feel on your own fucking blog. They want to bring it up to me in person? fine. its worth a discuss. but in your wildest dreams will I ever grant an apology for something I felt, or how I feel. If I went through your pen and paper journal back in the day, and found an entry about how annoying I was one day, would I have ANY right to personally attack you about it? most likely not.
A debate? sure, fine. but a full out attack is meant for the real world, where personal thoughts are not always privvy to exposure. the words " this isnt about you, its about me" apply to everyones journal ,and it would do well to remember that.

I love you for it. So do not feel bad. Of all the people to stand up for me, and defend me, and help me out in anyway, you'd think my real life friends would be the ones, but it usually takes my online friends to do it for me...does that say something about me..ick...
Meh.
The best check and balance for 'unwanted advice' is the 'delete comment FOREVER' button.
In that respect,
Blogs - 1, Real Life - 0.
