I think Eddie can block someone if you ask him to do it, Joan.

We all want to be liked, and it hurts when we are "bad-mouthed". Don't allow one person to dictate your life. We (I!) want you to continue posting. We may not agree on every thing, but I enjoy your blogs. Please, please, don't stop!!

While I completely understand your frustration, I really bothers me that you would allow morons to silence your voice. You will never convince the vocal ranters, but your words reach many more people than the one who comment and insult you with half-based ideas and reeking bias. Those idiots help you make your point just by comparison. But what is important is what you say and the intelligent way you say it. Please don't stop. Rest a bit, and carry on.

As for the other personal issue, why don't you simply block this person here? Why put up with it?

Yes I do Joan, it really upsets me too because when you fight fire with fire you are reduced to their level and treated as though you are one of them. I have a real bug-bear about being perma-banned from blogster because it puts me in the same category as those people and I really am not like them. I just got very fed-up with being treated so badly and stood up for myself. The people with the ban hammer didnt take the time or the trouble to figure it out about me and treated me with the same contempt. It sucks!!!!

We would all miss you if you left. Don't let the cow rain on your parade.

you know, for every one person who doesnt like you or doesnt agree with you for one reason or another, there are ten to twenty that do. You should focus on them and ignore/forget the idiots who choose to give you a hard time. Those of us who love reading your articles and interacting with you will miss you very much if you leave. Dont let the few idiots do that to you and to us.

You know, ignoring her is the absolutely best approach. She doesn't deserve a reaction of any kind, nor your cautious self-censoring.

What a shame, there's nothing worse than to feel someone is watching your every word in order to get ammunition against you.

'I always have to be careful what I say'---excuse me M'am--unless they can harm your family screw her and being careful what you say--and don't you think of going anywhere--I learn from you and how many 75 year old men tell you that?!?!?

I feel the same frustration you do here on MyBloggers, to be honest with you, basically because my whole worldview is completely opposed to that of the majority on this site. Things that are very important to me don't get blogged about, simply because I get so irritated at the caustic remarks and unbridled ridicule they generate. Somehow, though, I always keep coming back.

Is this the person that you been having problem with?
I am sorry this this one individual is causing you some problem.
This should not get in the way of your writing.Just erased her from your mind and continued the good job that you are doing.
You do not need this,and again kind of sad to let this bother you.
Hope that you are not losing any sleep over this?
It is too bad that this has to be bothersome for you.
Not sure what the cure is.All I can say is forget it.
Have a piece of chocolate.You will be fine there CJ.I know that you will.
Heads up and continued with life.
We all have these days.
Sure Martin has plenty of them.He can help you in some way.


A big(((((Hug)))))))))))for you.A something.
