You certainly can tell a lot about a person from their comments Alec.

I believe some people comment when they are too emotional about what they have read. Sometimes it’s better to count to ten, pause and then comment.

Thanks for the comment sir!

Hi Marvin. As you noticed, I ALWAYS try and connect with everyone, who comments here.

For me, the comments are always more important than the post. The post is one person’s view – the comments are views from a wider spread of often very bright people.

That’s special and something I value enormously.

Thanks for the feedback sir.

Thanks for the feedback Kate!

I tend to get involved in the comments; because that’s where my readers are and that communication with the readership is why I blog – rather than broadcast via a traditional website.

I think we each have to find the best way to deal with comments.

That’s a very different perspective Carla – thanks for sharing it. I love learning new things!

I respond to comments on my own blogs, and always have done. But, I don’t think it’s really appropriate for me to get into a war of words on someone else’s blog, not least because it could lead to them deciding not to hire me again – I’d have to pretty stupid to jeopardise my livelihood for the sake of alleviating my annoyance at an idiot.

Also, while I agree that when someone leaves a negative, but otherwise valid comment a response can help to calm high emotions, I don’t think that works with people who are just being abusive. Those people are either not quite the full ticket, or looking for an argument, reason is wasted on them.

Quality discussion, even negative, is always thought-provoking. However, I draw the line at rudeness. A blogger’s blog is their home; guest should treat it respectfully. Smart people should always be able to debate without resorting to name calling and insults.
