Need for Censoring

Several of our friends blogs have put up blogs or comments stating that they will delete or censor ignorant comments. It is sad that people who are abuse survivors have to put up with people leaving comments that put them down or say it is their fault or they were asking for it or quit your bellyachin'! It is beyond me, seriously, how can people put down people who are abuse survivors? Maybe they are abusers themselves? That would be a logical assumption based on their behaviors and comments in my opinion.

Constructive comments are one thing, they may be meant to help someone see something they missed or just didn't consider, but ignorant and abusive comments are destructive. People who tend to leave comments like that, why not just stay away from those blogs or sites? I personally don't believe in what the nazis did in Germany or what their supporters stand for now here in the states but I don't go to their sites and leave ignorant comments, I just stay away from them.

The sites in question are support sites, sites where people blog about what happened to them, what they are trying to overcome, for the purpose of relieving their pain because writing about abuse and talking about gets it out. It also lets others know they are not alone. It is a good thing NOT a bad thing.

So there is my two cents worth on editing comments.

Peace and blessings

the longer i am on the web the more i see that i can hardly believe. of course the late night news does the same thing for me, makes me sit there in disbelief, hence i very seldom watch the news.

the world is getting crazier
