This weeks Theme is Yellow


I'm sure y'all are thinking I'm gonna blast the anonymous poster who totally flamed me while hiding his identity. From now on we will refer to him as the unsusp. Well I'm not. While he is a coward and not that bright I really don't want my blog to be about him. Besides y'all have heard the old saying.
Don't argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

No I'm going to post about myself being yellow in how I handled the situation. All of the comments happened while I was at work and I came home to Mom and Wade all upset about it.
Wade did defend me pretty well in my absence, don't ya think?
I immediately deleted the unsusp's comments and I should have left it at that.
I don't think I should have put all comments on moderation.
By doing that I gave the unsusp power over me and the blog by altering it in response to his actions.
I have since remedied the situation. I will still reserve the right to delete any comments that give any personal information that I don't want posted. But I intend to go on as before.
I also taught Mom how to delete comments. So If I'm at work and the unsusp decides to hit again, she doesn't have to freak out but can just delete him.
I was Yellow but I saw the error of my ways. Now you can call me Purple.

Hi Lyn,
Thank you for stopping by my blog, across the Atlantic in France.
Thats a complete drag about that idiot.
I look at visting blogs like going to someone else's house.
Common courtesy and class, please.

Good for you that your Mom will delete him out if he shows up again.
Have a nice day, Lyn, and don't let the turkrys get you down !

Your poor Mom - sometimes people can just be so nasty. Good for you for handling the problem so cooly :)

Hi Purple!
That is an excellent YELLOW post! I love how you have overcome the yellowness that the comment jerk made you feel. Overcoming the yellow imposed by others is what makes you a stronger blogger!
Embrace your purple!
love ya,
Manic Mo

I didn't see what happened, but it sounds like you've got a handle on it now. Good for you.

Thanks for cruising by my place.

Ooooo I love purple. Yellow as well. I noticed you have been lurking--would love to have you comment.

I have no idea what crap ensued but I have always moderated comments-It's MY blog--and the only posts I have deleted were spam--but I wanted to know.

love your pics

come and hang out

I only bite when it's really fun
hehehe
