I appreciate the time anyone takes to read what I write here and I love your comments regardless of whether you do or don’t like what I’ve written. Bloggers are the nicest group of people I know. Only once in the 4 years I’ve had this blog have I found it necessary to delete a comment. I wonder why so many other bloggers have ‘comment approval’ enabled. Are you afraid of dissenting opinions? If you’re a woman, do you get a lot of inappropriate comments from men? Do you have control issues? Do you fear what other bloggers will think if they read a negative comment? Will they leave you if someone else disagrees with your post? Are you obsessive-compulsive and feel the need to proof-read and spell check everything first? I honestly don’t care if you have to check over my comments before they appear on your blog, but seriously, what’s the big deal? I don’t mean to sound critical if you’re a comment approver, I’m curious. If you’ve got a good reason I’m sure I’d agree. Could someone explain why you do it?
