Thing #7

It makes sense that there are some "rules" about commenting on blogs. Since it is a conversation, society needs to follow some etiquette guidelines when posting and commenting. In the post How to comment like a king (or queen), the author states that one word comments are not enough. We need to state why we like something. We need to share our opinions. People want to know what others are thinking. This is what makes blogging differ from a personal journal. Blogging gets your thoughts out there. If we didn't want to hear from others then we would keep our thoughts private in a journal. When commenting we need to think about how our response will be taken by the author of the blog. we need to use the rule " If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

  1. I thought it appropriate that I comment on your post about comments. You are right - being nice is essential. We don't have to agree, but we can say that we don't agree in a kind way. "Here is my point of view.." rather than "You're an idiot."
