I never understand how someone can post something negative or hurtful on someone else's page.

I think we all could use a lesson in practicing empathy and thinking our actions and words through, before resorting to disparaging comments online. I used to challenge the members of my sorority chapter to leave little trails of positivity online - like commenting kind thoughts online 3x a day (if you're going to waste time online, why not be nice about it??). Thanks for addressing this!Cassie Xiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14565965951142230286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947644932635557230.post-1116601559455679412016-10-27T13:57:29.411-07:002016-10-27T13:57:29.411-07:00I enjoy reading your blog and this one I can certa...I enjoy reading your blog and this one I can certainly relate to. I think people like to hind behind their "anonymity" of just putting up a comment but not engaging in any real dialog. I am glad that you wrote this blog post and I hope you shared it in the same group!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898829893508629796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947644932635557230.post-60502578252274233702016-10-27T08:13:48.200-07:002016-10-27T08:13:48.200-07:00I agree that people most likely aren't doing i...I agree that people most likely aren't doing it to be cruel, but having seen the comment that you're talking about, it did feel mean because your post was about supporting people. I can also understand commenting on posts you feel strongly about. If something pops up in my newsfeed (with me it's generally political) that I very strongly disagree with, I feel like as their "friend" and someone to whom they've made that post available, I have a right to express my opinion. The real issue as I saw it, was that they ran instead of attempting to defend their position, most likely because that point of view was indefensible.

Okay, that's highly unlikely, but I really enjoy reading your blog every week. In response to what you posted, I've also been thinking a lot lately about people who go out of their way on social media to leave a negative or anti-what-you-posted comment on a post. For me it's been with political stuff mostly, I'm noticing a lot of conservative friends going out of their way to leave comments on my liberal / democratic posts that in way are anti-conservative. Yet they still feel some sort of need to leave a comment? Like you, I don't believe it's out of intent to hurt or offend me, but I can't follow any logical path to their reasoning. Humans are interesting, instinctively following their own needs, yet we're mostly blind to the fact that we're doing it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653210981652765656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947644932635557230.post-87325990440911961182016-10-24T14:44:29.541-07:002016-10-24T14:44:29.541-07:00I'm glad you are addressing this issue.

Writing negative comments online seems to empower people with their own emotional issues going on but in turn only continues to hurt others. I'm sorry you are having to deal with this and I fully support you deleting a negative comment from your post. You are helping create a positive place for people to come together and this blog is extremely helpful!
