I have a theory.

To me you blog for a number of reasons. To share your thoughts and day, to discuss problems with strangers, for enjoyment, for release from everyday life etc etc. Whatever your reason it is something that gives release, to share with others. Sometimes you post a lot, other times you post very little.

You trawl through sites and read other blogs. You like what you read so you make a comment or two, get to know a bit about the person behind the blog through their writing and invite them as s friend.

The ones that you don't like reading you don't bother looking at anymore, you deny them when they invite you as a friend, you have nothing in common, you don't like their style of writing, you maybe don't care for their language.

As time goes on you build up a friend list, it gets longer. Occasionally you weed a few out, those you haven't heard from for a long while, maybe, or because they haven't kept their blog up to date so perhaps they are no longer around. But you keep those that still make an odd comment, those that do post regularly, those ones you enjoy reading.

So tell me this, why do some people who obviously don't like what they see on someone's blog, decide to persecute them for it? Why do they have to harrass them? Why is it necessary to make yourself look like a total idiot?

You don't like what you read, you don't like the language they use. so is it necessary then to make a nuisance of yourself? Is it really appropriate to condemn, to flag their blog as inappropriate then tell them you want to be their friend?

If you don't like it, don't read it. Take yourself off the friends list and don't pass by anymore.

Blogs are simply a release. Somewhere you can do to say things you wouldn't normally say. We are but strangers till we meet,if we ever do, deal with it. Get on with it and live your life, post what you want but don't go round making a bloody nuisance of yourself in the process.

Live in peace.

Let others live theirs how they choose.

Free speech is exactly that, deal with it.

simple really.
