I used to leave the comment function on in my blog posts. I thought it would be fine for people to leave me comments or feedback. Someone told me why would I need others to comment on my blog? He told me, "Ashley, that's your blog, your thoughts, your life, why would you want someone to comment on your life, on what happened to you?" Me being me, stubborn, I did not bother him.
Few months back, I received some disturbing comments. I had the idea to turn the comment function off. I did not do that. I was thinking, well, that wasn't something which happened everyday. I could still bear with it. So, I continued to let readers to post their comments as they wish.
Perhaps now it is time to turn it off. That friend of mine was right. I didn't see it coming. Now I can totally see it. People leaving disturbing comments/feedback in my blog posts. That isn't something fancy or nice to read. I suddenly realised, why would I want someone to tell me, "Ashley, you shouldn't do that...... Ashley, you should be...... Ashley, why didn't you...... Ashley, how could you......" Encouraging comments are rare.
Enough is enough. This blog is just going to be all about me and my life. You get to read all about it, but sorry to say that you ain't gonna get to comment on my life anymore.
You want to leave an encouraging comment or feedback? Email me. You can find my email on the About Me section.
In the future, I may want to follow Elaine's footstep, to have some of the posts protected with passwords.
I should now start taking care of my online "life" now. Sharing is one thing, sharing and getting slapped at is another thing.
