In response to comments made about this post:
Mother,
If you come onto my website, I'm going to treat you like every other visitor. And if another visitor tried to dictate what I should and shouldn't put on my site by saying what they did and didn't "want to know", then I would be just as forceful in my retort.
This does not mean that I want you (or any visitor) "to break off all contact" with me; far from it! All comments are welcome. But just remember that not all comments are appreciated.
I have the comments sections on my site because it is like owning a talking diary. Whenever I make an entry I get to bounce ideas off of it and I get to see my situation from a different point of view. And I appreciate it's opinions. But the day that my talking diary stops giving me it's opinions and starts telling me what my opinions should be, well, that's the day I trade in that book for the non-speaking version.
I'm going to use the old (and very hackneyed) "put yourself in my shoes" routine here and say: If you had a website that you used to journal your thoughts and reactions to everyday life, would you want your mother to (come back from the grave) and tell you how to run your site and tell you what is and isn't acceptable content?
