I think that if you can’t make your point in an adult manner and be prepared to agree to disagree I’d assume you not leave a comment at all.

Thanks for the post Danny – well said.

Hey there John,

Nice to have you over here, and hopefully we’ll continue to see more thoughts from you.

Sounds like your son has his head in the right place; I’m pretty sure there must be research out there on the psyche of comment trolls, would love to take a deeper dive into it sometime.

Thanks again, fella, and have a great rest of week!

Hi Danny
My Son Danny just turned 13 and even he wouldn’t say really off the wall hurtful unnecessary things to people. This is actually my first time here I was reading another post and this caught my eye because I said let me go convince myself that once everyone GETS HOT they switch up their comment policy or do follow to no follow etc and Low and behold the exact opposite. I don’t know nor want to about what went down with the Goofs leaving nasty comments but You Sir have conducted yourself as a Gentleman and I can see why I have been seeing your name POPPING all over You MUST be Irish anyway appreciate the nice surprise and I thought my commenting system was pretty liberal but I really liked your whole thought process on commenting Peace
Thanks

Danny a post that was well put. People need to remember that each one of us has valid opinions. One of the things I really believe in and have been trying to explain to people is respect in social media. To value other people’s opinions and learn from them. They are equally as right as you to feel what they feel.

Thank you for showing the community respect.

Well done!

Hey there mate,

Hmm, wonder if my recent Audi post reflects that my blog’s going the wrong way?

You’re right, though – a community comes from the blog and the blog feeds the community. Have no love for either and it’ll soon show.

Thanks for popping by, always a pleasure to see you fella.

Hey there Christina,

What’s great about your example is that you realized your “error” and acted upon it to make things right. More could learn a thing or two from you.

Another thought provoking post Danny, thanks.

I also think you can tell a lot about a blog, very quickly, just by looking at the type of comments it attracts.

All the best sir!

Hi Phil,

You won’t get any arguments from me about having “second comments”, as you’ll see from most of the posts here – comments are part of the important lifeblood of a blog. But there’s a limit to conversational disagreement, and that’s something I won’t allow here.

With regards the stats re. average blogger, Technorati’s State of the Blogosphere 2009 would disagree:

http://technorati.com/blogging/article/day-1-who-are-the-bloggers1/

60% are under 44 years of age, which bears testament to the growing Gen Y blogosphere.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your views, appreciated.
