I don’t mind responding to comments in my blog. Really I am a fairly open person. However I am not going to debate in the comments. There’s no point in doing so. It ruins the blogging experience for everyone. My philosophy in commenting is to be positive, encouraging, enlightening and kind. Doing anything else is not who I am.
When someone states what they believe don’t go trying to shoot them down by trying to tear down their beliefs to make you look bigger. People like that just come across as a know it all.
You can inform other folks about a larger view just by affirming what they say and perhaps adding to it if you can contribute something positive to the conversation. We all come from different levels of knowledge and different places in life so perhaps helping people learn something new without making them look dumb is good, this is something I am working on too.
Thanks for letting me rant and ramble a little. Feedback welcome.
Like my mother taught me growing up, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” I think Thumper also said this in the movie Bambi. 😉 Anyway, good advice no matter who it’s coming from. 🙂

I generally welcome comments including debate when done respectfully. But positive is a great way to live my friend. 🙂
Keep smiling blogging should be fun it is an unpaid hobby for most. So if it isn’t fun why do it?
