Enough People

I have had it!  You won't hear me vent here too often, but sometimes I really lose faith in humanity, or for that matter what people teach their children.  In the past 24 hours I have received not 1 but 2 emails from bloggers saying they are either going private or stopped blogging all together due to rude and inappropriate comments or contact.  

One of the blogs I have read for a year and cannot say enough good things about the blogger...she has manners, class, is respectful and always positive...in other words, I am working hard as a parent because I want Mini K to grow up with those same values.

It's no secret that I started this blog to help me introduce PGG to the amazingly intertwined blog community.  Along the way, I have "met" some truly amazing people...people I have grown to email with, talk to on the phone or in some cases have met in person.

To put this in perspective, I no longer live in the South (although I miss it dearly every single day), but in Washington, D.C. ...and let's be honest D.C. is no longer a place where people play nice or fair.  My expectations for blogworld were a little higher...I was wrong.

If you don't like something you read, here is a suggestion...STOP reading the blog.  If you feel some super human power willing you to leave a comment sign your name.  Seeking someone out just to be hateful, in my opinion, is a true reflection on your character...or lack of character as the case may be.

I had such a fun post planned for tonight, but just didn't feel right ignoring the elephant in the room.

This always makes me wonder, who, in this day, has the time or energy to go from blog to blog or taking it well beyond a blog comment into emails and more to be mean?  I would like to believe these people are going through a troubling time, and will, in time, be mortified by their actions...but for now I am stunned that rock bottom wasn't low enough for some people.  Some people got a shovel and started digging.

And who wants to be covered in all of the dirt and mud slinging when this weekend kicked off white jean season paired with my favorite tunic.

Venting over...now I NEED a glass of wine!
