I had a fleeting thought as to what would you want to have on it directly that you wouldn't like me to see first..hm...I'll sit with that for a while....<BR/><BR/>When I first began to write this blog I did allow unmonitored comments and what I found was that it allowed a lot of spam. I control the comments not because I have a need to control the contributions to this blog but because I don't want readers to have the frustration of reading spam.<BR/><BR/>I can truthfully say that to date I have published all of the comments I have received. Why would I not publish comments. The sentence 'meet with my approval' caused me to smile because my approval has nothing to do with the validity of comments. <BR/><BR/>Comments for me are simply points of views (as are mine) they are not the Truth. So for me to expend precious energy in making judgements as to whether or not I approve of a comment that is sent to me is to reduce my power to create and this I will not do.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comment. I can assure you that I will continue to moderate the comments that come into this blog. But I also give my word that any comments received will be published.<BR/><BR/>My intention is for this blog to be an authentic account of a journey. This also includes peoples perceptions and interpretations and so I have no need to control any of these contributions.Margaret Dempseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385395565359693331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830933917349183001.post-37928819439720558402008-11-26T16:08:00.000-08:002008-11-26T16:08:00.000-08:00Comments to this blog have to be approved by you b...Comments to this blog have to be approved by you before publishing them online.<BR/><BR/>If you have truly let go of the need to control why not allow these comments to be posted direct to your blog without filtering them in the future.<BR/><BR/>Take a chance - stop being in control of this blog & allows others the right to comment uncensored - even if their comments don't meet with your approval.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
