In Sweden, there's a big discussion right now about commenting on the biggest newspapers' websites. One of them has decided that people have to show their real names in order to comment, log in via Facebook or something similar (although it should be super easy to make a fake facebook account, right?). Others are thinking about moderating comments before they get posted. However, people are protesting since it's not democratic and it may be dangerous or at least limiting for people to have to write their real names. At the same time, it's not legal to write racist comments etc but there may be gray areas so it's a tough discussion. One of the biggest newspapers wants their readers to write "nice" comments and that's the thing most people react against. Nice - if you're really upset about something or want to defend yourself? Being nice in private blog comments is another thing, I think, when people write about their work or their day. But if it's about politics, for instance, of course people will sound more upset if their view is different.Maria-Thérèse ~ www.afiori.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369532662519310447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912431965202566104.post-36448143643217381932011-09-04T18:17:47.535-07:002011-09-04T18:17:47.535-07:00I too like to blog about my life.

Blogging is great for a written journal of your life and those around you and any hobbie or experience you want to share to the world, and hopefully it stays on the internet forever.Jimiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166213042183994526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912431965202566104.post-76110567914332447232011-09-04T17:01:27.503-07:002011-09-04T17:01:27.503-07:00Sending you smiles and happiness in this spinning ...Sending you smiles and happiness in this spinning world. :-)<br /><br />~ DebAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653924392284366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912431965202566104.post-11193859987785990402011-09-04T16:16:37.202-07:002011-09-04T16:16:37.202-07:00Hello dear--this is Michelle who is looking forwar...Hello dear--this is Michelle who is looking forward to "Midnight Martini" when I get to Massachusetts next Friday. I just want to say, there are so many dark genes in the human pool at this point, we must only weed them out, and sometimes it helps to forgive them their 'ignorance' quickly so the taste doesn't linger long--for it is ignorance--not stupidity-- that makes a person lash out, either in the moment or as a habit. They are living in their reptilian instinct, and suffering. Hope that they have the chance to change paths, educate and refine their nature, become whole beings. Perhaps they've come to you attracted by your dearness--then didn't know how to be--and, perhaps, this is only the beginning of their journey, for which you were a stepping stone and stumbling block.Ms.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09479767121319709878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912431965202566104.post-40745940273997061732011-09-04T15:29:57.406-07:002011-09-04T15:29:57.406-07:00Very well said!

They must be in a terrible place. And it should be noted that in all the years I've been blogging, and the thousands of comments, this is only the second mean-spirited one I've received. Not even the tiniest drop in the bucket. ♥Caroleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073291932262018795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912431965202566104.post-46104210028132817842011-09-04T14:49:17.199-07:002011-09-04T14:49:17.199-07:00Carolee, I am sorry that person (and coward I migh...Carolee, I am sorry that person (and coward I might say for only being able to criticize anonymously) had negative things to say, you seem like a very upbeat, positive and creative person.
