well, I do think you deserve our niceness. I might not know you “in real life” but I know you through blogland and what I see/read is pretty damn awesome. I appreciate your honesty and straightforwardness because I wish I could be more like that! really, I do! and while I did comment on the “reasons to hate me” post (I did read it though, just didn’t comment, tisk tisk) I hope you didn’t take that as me agreeing that you are a horrible person! haha. everyone has things about themselves that maybe aren’t their best traits. but friends love you anyway, right? I think so. my best friend is much like you: she says what’s on her mind. sometimes it’s a no-holds-barred situation. and it can get her in trouble. some people don’t like her for it. and even though sometimes it has been directed at me, I love her for always telling the truth. and saying how she feels, because like I said before, I wish I could be more like that.

It’s true. You’re awesome. And I agree with Jamie- if we didn’t like you, we probably wouldn’t read your blog. But you’re way too honest and funny and sincere to make us stop.

Blog friends are great. They just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

You have ugly hair.

(Not really but I wanted to make Lisa happy…)

Haha. If people didn’t mock me so often, I would be offended.

It’s just because you’re nice. It seems most of us agree with your opinions. And you have nice hair.

Too hard to be mean when you agree with people and their quirks.

I think people are so nice because empathy comes so easily after reading about a person for an extended time, even if the writing isn’t too divulging. It’s hard to be mean to someone you care about!

Ha you want people to be mean? I’m scared when I take a comment someone leaves on my blog and think they’re being mean when usually I’m being sympathized with.

But I can be snarky. Give me a minute, I’ll come up with something.

Hey, you’re nice in real life, too.

Take THAT. :P

I can’t speak for everyone, but I can say that I am nice to you because I like you. If I didn’t like you… I wouldn’t read your blog. But I do read your blog. So I obviously like you.

But not in a creepy way. lol

It’s hard to hate you when I agreed with 75% with what you said? I want to do one of these lists but I have a feeling my blog readers won’t be so sweet and nice. You gotta love nice blog readers!

We can be nasty to you if you REALLY want . . .?

Seriously though, you are an awesome person.

Go on, mock me again. I dare ya. :)

Bloggers love other bloggers. What can we say? Oh, you have really nice hair.

You suck.

See, I tried and I couldn’t even be mean or hate you. You have me lovestoned.

…JT reference just for you.

I hope I can remain president of your fan club based entirely on my seniority. Other than that, blog friends totally have me beat.

Well, even though I just recently started reading your blog, I’ve read more posts than you would think, and that’s because I simply enjoy them. Your writing is fantastic but easy to read and your content involves the reader on a personal level, which is always nice. As Jordan and Sophia (love the name by the way) mentioned, I too wouldn’t read a blog that I didn’t enjoy some way or another. I read personal blogs of people that I can relate to. I read self development blogs of people who remember that they are human and who remember that people make mistakes and people suffer. There is a reason why the niche is called self development.

I like commenting on posts that relay some sort of a message to me, otherwise I might read it but not bother to comment. I don’t ever do it for the sake of getting my link out there. I also never sugar coat my comments. I am not mean, but I like to say it how it is. I don’t agree with the “if you can’t say anything nice don’t say it at all”. Rather, I think that you should say what you want to (after all, blogs that allow comments should welcome both sides, good and bad). However, if there is a disagreement, I believe that people should have the common courtesy to disagree in a proper, polite way.

I also almost always leave comments that are too long…

Sophia — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:55:07 +0000

I agree with Jordan. I just don’t read the blogs of people whose writing and personality I don’t enjoy. Some people do, and they may leave less-than-nice comments. But I don’t think I could ever leave a mean comment, anonymously or not. Bad karma! And the whole if you can’t say anything nice don’t say it at all deal.
ps. I got the SNL reference right away — that’s one of my favorites haha.

This made me laugh. You do deserve our niceness!! Bloggers are ridiculously friendly. I’m not sure why. AND they are always there. I’ve become one of them and I don’t hate it.

I think bloggers are a completely unique crowd. For the most part, I have received many great, humbling, and encouraging words. The ones that have disagreed with me, generally, do so in a manner that is respectful not disparaging. Its one of the reasons I love blogging. I do think that you are a great person and I really love your style of writing. Its why I keep coming back.
