Anonymous Comments

Recently I have had several anonymous comments. This use to not bother me, but I can admit now it does, just by the nature of the comments I have received.  The person obviously follows me on facebook and twitter, and has now asked me questions on formspring (rare thing).

I am assuming that this the same person because of the nature of questions and comments, and honestly I might be wrong. No matter if the person is the same or not I have no problem with what they were saying if they could back up what they are saying....and so far they have not.

Because of this I have prevented anonymous comments. Wish I did not have too, oh well.  I am open for discussion an dialogue, but please back up your statements.

Obviously this person follows me on twitter and facebook and if I am correct is asking the formspring questions so they can still respond, just not anonymously.

Am I being too harsh?

Comments???

I really enjoying blogging and have been doing a lot more lately.  I actually had a comment from an anonymous reader that complimented me on the growth of my blog, which I was surprised by, but thankful.  I read (or scan) hundreds of blogs each day and very rarely do I comment on them...Why is that???

Honestly I don't know. I mean I enjoy the blogs and they spark thought and ideas in me, but usually don't feel the need to comment.  I might not agree with the statements on all the blogs I read, but I respect the opinions and thoughts of others. I remember when I use to watch Saturday morning cartoons a commerical that always stuck in my head....Great minds think alike, no, great minds think for themselves.  People have to learn to think for themselves and come to their own conclusion or views on a topic. People need to be able to back up their views and learn how to respect people who do not have the same views. 

A lot of times I don't comment because I am at a loss for words.  I don't necessarily agree or disagree, but I am taking time to formulate my own thoughts or opinions on the subject matter.  Sometimes I have no opinion and sometimes I am left confused, but oh well.  Sometimes people get mad when you don't comment, get over it (not trying to be rude). 

I blog to vent, to express myself, to get things out.  I read blogs to get inspiration and to see how others view things. Comments are extra....
