Tales of a Busy momma
Monday, January 28, 2008 - Why Why Why
Posted in My thoughts

Why is it when someone comes and posts on their blog their thoughts and questions some think it is ok to just be plain old mean to them. First I think we need to step back and realize that we do not always know all of the details and that we should not judge one another. Doesn't the Bible say Judge not Lest ye be judged?? How many of us want to be judged the same way we tend to judge others especially when we have usually only gotten a tiny piece of the whole story..

I feel that as humans and especially women we tend to get caught up in the giving of our almighty sometimes well thought out, but most of the time not well thought out opinions like someone really cares about.. Ok so they might part of the time, but really the only thing that should matter to us is what God thinks.. However because we are humans and especially ladies we tend to get hurt and angry over opinions.. I know that I sometimes read something and I post whatever the first thing is that comes to mind. If someone is asking for prayer then let us pray and if someone asks for advice then give advice, but let us pray and watch our words so that the Lord may be Glorified in all things and that includes our blogs.

I for one get sad when someone gets their feelings hurt because of what people who are well intentioned might do that cause us to be upset. I know that I am sometimes overly sensitive and for that reason alone I know that I have to sometimes watch what I say and how I react because my perception is not always the right way... So when we are posting on our blogs or commenting others let us be king and considerate for either the people reading our blogs or for the one whom we are commenting as we do not know the struggles that person may be going through..

God Bless you all. Dearfriend I love your blog and admire you.. I am praying for you and your family and hope to see you posting again soon..

God Bless,

Mars

Forgive us for we sometimes know not what we are doing. I hope your friend will forgive for things happen for a reason. Blessings and love, rilda

*from Marcia* Rilda.. My post was just to make people realize that they need to stop and think before they type.... And to not be so quick to judge one another.. Thank you.. God Bless,

I agree. Seems people are attacking when they have no idea what is going on.

God's Blessings,

Although I don't have a blog (I work and am in school full time, so I don't have much time to maintain a blog), I stop by Homesteadblogger frequently. I find it is a place where people (usually ladies) focus on the things that really matter: home and family, and how to do the best possible job as a steward of both.
Generally, bloggers and visitors here pray for one another and encourage one another. It's wonderful.

That's why I was so stunned and saddened to see some of the comments on Dearfriend's blog. I have read her blog for months because it is encouraging, especially in giving encouragement when the road one is walking is a tough one.

Some of the comments on this gentle blog were shamefully cruel. I am heartbroken to think that others would use harsh and unkind words to a blogger who tells us in plain words that she is struggling.

It's especially sad to have read so many unkind comments left as "Anonymous." I hope Dearfriend's load wasn't made heavier by comments that were left on her blog - especially as they may have left her wondering who all the "Anonymous" comments were from.

Mars, I'm glad you reminded everyone about being careful with others' feelings, no matter how well-intentioned a comment is intended. I hope you won't mind if I return to read your blog in the future. ;-)

Blessings,
April

APRIL I would love for you to keep stopping by and reading my blog and such.. Thank you so much for your commen..
God Bless
Marcia

I feel hurt for dearFriend even though I do not know her. I hope things can be worked out and that help come her way in various forms and lift her up during this time! I am praying for them. Thanks for sharing this - I too was shocked when I read some of the responses by some. thanks.

My heart breaks for DearFriend, but her closing her blog was the right thing to do, for a couple of reasons.
Blogs are time consuming, and she has a huge family crisis on her hands. Her undivided attention should be on her family, no matter how sweet and wonderful her blog may be. God, Husband, Family.......then the rest.
She is hurt. Hurt people sometimes lose focus and say hurtful things, true or not. Slander is not taken lightly by the Lord, and regaurdless if her words against her dh are true, they should not be spoken in a public forum. Only between her, God, and possible a Christ-Centered elder or mentor in the Body.
Women are women. Thin feelings and all. Some are harsh, some are fluff. Some lie and tell you what you want to hear, some are truthful and are verbally assaulted for it.

We need to see things through God's Eyes. When we do this, things will be so much clearer!

*from Marcia* Laura.. Hun how do you know that closing the blog was the right thing?? It may have been or may not been it is not for us to say.. We do not know all that is going on so therefore before we sit back and say what is or is not right we had better pray and seek answers that are Godly and not just the answer that comes to our mind because we are *judging* what we think is all going on.. There is no way to know the whole story unless we are there walking in Dearfriend's footsteps right now. I say the best thing is to sit back quit judging and pray for her... Someday you might have something happen to you and would you want someone to be there telling you what you should or should not do or if it was right or wrong???

I know that there are two here at HSB that thrive off of their mean remarks.I think you have been left a comment by one of them.
Who gave this blogger the authority over DearFriend????How does any one here know what she needs???????They don't!!!!So stop judging her by saying that she needs to shut down her blog.Try being nice to her and do some praying for her.

Edited by Marcia Amen sister.. I am so glad that you and I are in the same page as are others on the homestead.. The mean ones need to get over it.. And yes I was left a comment by one of them and I edited and added my 2cents to her comment.. :)
God Bless,
Mars

I am saddened by it as well. There are a couple of my favorite blogs closing down because of the rudeness of others and I think it is just awful. I agree with what you said completely and it is just sad that those trying to encourage others are the ones being hurt and those being hurtful just keep on without consequence.
Blessings,
Rashel

this goes around several times a year....must be that Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder or something, because it's always happening when life seems to be boring for a few folks.
And sadly, yes, it drives several great bloggers away, although I've watched many return after a while, which is great.
People don't think. They type and jump without giving the consequences of their blogging words the tiniest thought. (oh yes, I know full well I am just as guilty of this from time to time...)
As soon as life gets all pretty and we all lose our thorns, maybe we'll stop this spitefulness.
