At school I have a personal rule that I try to adhere to when pointing out so-called faults or areas of weakness to students (and/or their parents) - two positive things together with one negative - so that praise always outweighs criticism. What this columnist failed to acknowledge and applaud was/is that many bloggers turn the minutiae of life into something, not just entertaining and witty, but helpful and supportive to many.Lee-Annehttp://www.leeannewalker.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-40689642150835113522013-05-27T17:57:48.095+10:002013-05-27T17:57:48.095+10:00Kerri, you have had two books published, and as f...Kerri, you have had two books published, and as far as I know, Ms Reines hasn't.... :-)fender4evanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-63024826768936693622013-05-27T17:53:18.440+10:002013-05-27T17:53:18.440+10:00I am shocked and appalled and hurt and hungry and ...I am shocked and appalled and hurt and hungry and saddened by all of this. <br /><br />If only there was more awareness of my baby and what an unbelievable little miracle he is, there would be no need for meanness or shame or littering or anything else nobody likes.<br /><br />Daddy blogger out!Nick Bhasinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-82083903989226789382013-05-27T17:50:36.591+10:002013-05-27T17:50:36.591+10:00I haven't read the article and I'm not goi...I haven't read the article and I'm not going to because I have reached the point of deliberately and consciously avoiding hate-speech of any description. I don't think any group is above criticism and cliques, where they exist, always bear examination, but there's no excuse for personal attacks, ever. They serve only the mean-spiritedness of the attacker.

You always le...That is such an interesting comment. You always leave me thinking, JJ.<br />I absolutely do not think that bloggers (or anyone) should be above criticism. But I think there is a big difference between constructive criticism, or kind criticism, and just dismissive, mean spirited criticism.<br />As I said, it's totally okay for not everyone to like every style of writing. I certainly don't. And I know that not everyone likes mine. But I do think there's a problem here in Oz (can't speak for other countries) where people read sites voraciously for the pleasure of hating them, and I have NEVER understood that. If I don't like a site, I don't read it. Simple as that.<br />As for the cliquishness, yes, there is truth to that. And this is why I don't enter (or allow myself to be nominated for) blogging comps as I do feel it's often the same blogs over and over again. But having said that, there is also a tremendous amount of support in this community; I felt it when I was starting out and I do try to pay it forward, and I think that most of the major players are the same. Not all - I have seen some nastiness - but most. I do believe that. <br />Then again, maybe I'm just naïve and trusting... I've been accused of that before!Kerri Sackvillehttp://www.lifeandothercrises.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
