I visited with some of my posts written from years ago or more recently. I like the comments both coming in and going out. I noticed that some of the comments that were controversial coming in had been removed. MM-MM Interesting. In the moment they were made, I didn't mind and even responded and here's why

COURTESIES OF THE HOUSE

When I discovered ACTIVERAIN and all that it offered, being so pleased I wanted to give back as much as I received. So, in addition to participating, I decided to comment to everyone who took the time to visit my post. My belief was and still is that you are entitled to all the courtesies of the the house when you visit with me...thank you

WE DON'T HAVE TO AGREE..SHARING IS MANDATORY THOUGH

We don't have to all agree, but coming together is a must to share, compare and dialog. Some people for whatever reasons comment in anger, haste, moodiness or exasperation or plain emotional "caught up in the moment" dynamics and consequently it is not their best side...I respect that and understand it too

CATCHY PHRASE

However, when you consider that the post, blog or comment are all public and that it can have a life span beyond our deleting prowess, it becomes important to remind each other to think it through before you do. So, imagine my surprise when I discovered some of the comments removed...That said to me that these persons may have come to an awareness of not presenting their best foot forward and took action. Who knows?

Practice in this arena makes perfect..... Keep in mind that your practice score is permanent too

Richie. How interesting! It is a good thing if those comments were never made but it is also good for the person to have 'sober second thought' and remove them.

California Coast & Country....C C C...takes her comment and demonstrates making her point and complimenting mine...well done little lady

Gin Gin....I wouldn't think the word "antagonistic would even be in your world let alone your vocabulary..Ginny remains pleasurable hostess and commenter

Evelyn ...is giving out free "pox" to special deserving people....She is welcomed at any post gathering

 

Alan May...See Kerrie for AR's  ANTI-POX serum or "new" chewy tablets form...

Joan...there are people in the world who have no natural flowing energy coming from within (as they should) and as a result, have to create their own artificial stimulus. I refuse to enable or give as well as receive from these type of "out of sync" individuals. Choose who you want to connect with and who you don't...sharing is privileged not a prerequisite for arguing

Debbie...if one wants to look more "professional" to the public as you comment, renting out your picture is another way to go

Hello Valerie...Yes, to your comment...Who hasn't wished to have those moments taken back and very few have been able to do so....Lucky them and good for them if they realized it is NOT their best face forward

Hi Richie,

I read all the comments and agree with most of them. I think most of us at AR leave polite comments. I feel you can always write your opinion but should be polite as we all see things a little differently. I like what Paula said "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all".

Richie, I do the same thing as I go back and comment on everyone's blog who have commented on mine. It is important to reciprocate to each other and just respectful. It is like a Christmas card; if one sends you one, you should send one back.

Richie - first, I love your title! second, I like your topic and agree with you. third, I didn't know anything about comments being disappearing. Active Rain is a great forum in which to learn, make friends, and grow. Thanks.

I've looked at some of my past blogs and found some of the same things... interesting. I had not considered whether they had been puposefully deleted, or were no longer a member.

Great post as always Richie!  I have seen some comments that were so rude I couldn't believe anyone would ever consider being so nasty.  Like you said...we don't all have to agree.  Even when people don't agree they can at least disagree in a professional manner.  If they can't do that they shouldn't comment at all.

DEAR LADIES....

Kristin...you know I read your comment and I had deep feelings of wanting to be your next door neighbor. Very warm and inviting this aura of yours. As for Paula, she is loved, wanted and can do no wrong in my book...Just the real deal and she has paid into her life dues...Your Xmas card analogy has legs...case in point..best dear lady

Lottie...First, I enjoy it when you visit and comment. Second, I like you and agree with you too. Third, there is so much I don't know, I stopped keeping track. As a result, I am much happier now..ACTIVERAIN...is ACTIVEGAIN...yes?

 

Hi there Mellisa Marro (MM)...Perhaps they have journeyed to the comment zone (next to the twilight zone) da da da da

Terri...a Big YES to your comment. I have seen and heard things and I know those people making those sights and sounds will be hearing from their own conscience soon enough. It is my wish they don't continue on therefore compounding the problems at work...Terri, in today's society,  a lot of people act out what authority figures layed on them (parents teachers etc) when growing up...One day, they will discover...that ain't them and then true life will begin to enter in

Bob...I join you in laughing first at myself and then when others.... faux pax....There go I rings true

People will be people, and not all people will be nice people. When you look at newspaper blogs for example and comments there, comparing them to the dialogue here on AR, it is much more professional and fun here!

Mitch...what a valid point and observation...I agree..Fun is a subjective thing...But it appears that AR participators are in agreement on that subject....Best to you Mitch

Great info. fortunately I have rarely if ever engaged in any derogatory or inflammatory dialog with anyone online and even more fortunately have received very few if any like comments back. if I happen across a post I don't agree with I try to choose my words very carefully. But no one's perfect and there will be those days I'm sure. However, what you said about what you put out there online is absolutely true. It will shadow you forever.

Hi Richie-

My (step) Mother used to say, "You can't take back words".  That must have been when I was 7 or 8 and something that I had overheard her say to someone else.  It has stuck with me all my life. 

Thanks for being willing to read what others, sometimes impolitely, have to say.  It's very gracious of you.
