Remember that they try to take away something that we had yesterday. Makes u wonder why? Its their illusion to think that this will stop all of the amazing people from speaking and communicating to one another. Never stop trying and people keep doing what you are doing great job keep up.

For example, I wanted to wonder how your facebook ads have been going, and there's nowhere really to ask. So how are those facebook ads going?

I am one of theses persons who reads every single blog you post, but not commenting..( mostly because I feel like my English is not enough strong to really tells my thoughts). Anyways, just commenting now to say that I do skip the long never-ending comments (just because it's too much time consuming and most of the time, it's getting honestly boring). It's a great idea to keep it short; readable. I'll prolly be reading more of the conversation that way. David, makes big senses..

[Hoping I am not diverging from the subject here ;) ]: I read another blog on which there is presently some kind of legal controversy http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/2008/08/albritton-v-p-1.html, in part because of alleged diffamatory comments...showing that you never know what can come up. Some comments were made by lawyers or people working in the field of the law...believe it or not. (I think that the whole story related to the above link is very entertaining. :) ) :D Julie I think that it is a very good policy to try to keep comments to the point and, I might add, civilized.

I thank you for your honest response though and i guess all I am as asking is to error on the side of caution, because what might not be relevant to you might be totally relevant to me. dunno..just a thought and it's late, and uhh..you are the skipper here, journey on... now i wonder what i missed, i break rules and my usual thinking pattern is to run big round crazy circles until i get to the middle(the point, the meaning). most people don’t have the patience, which is why the institutionalized education system didn’t like me much I guess, but it could have been my crappy attitude too certainly.

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:04:31 +0000 http://www.cloudid.com/?p=165#comment-2562 I agree with the basic logic behind your decision. The worst offenders, for me, are those people who leave comments that are destructive in nature - their goal is to ridicule the author and/or topic and judge past responses. I recently had this experience and could not quite grasp the purpose of this, other than the need to be vindictive (an emotion I cannot comprehend). Strong or dissenting opinions are fine. Leaving negative, pointless comments is simply a waste of time and energy and they should be removed. It's about being respectful. I agree with the basic logic behind your decision.

I do however have one question. I once tried to post a comment and received a notice that it was flagged as possible spam. Now I did have a link to an external web page in it, but it was directed to an article that addressed the blog's topic and I've seen external links here before. What is it that sets off the spam filter? Or perhaps this was just a web fluke? Sounds like a good set of guidelines. I do however have one question.

I think trackbacks are the best way to really go into deep thought in response to something, that way you provide content for your own blog space while sharing your thought with the original author.
