all things in Moderation

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to start moderating all comments from here on out.  I’ve had this blog running for over a year and felt comfortable until recently with letting people comment freely.  Sadly, one rotten apple is spoiling the fun.  There is someone who seems determined to shit on my virtual home.  Not only does this asshole want to put me down, insult and twist my words and generally act superior, but the other day decided to attack on a more personal level.

I have no problem with people disagreeing with me, as long as they are respectful.   However, I will not publish disrespectful, insulting or threatening comments.  If you’re interested in a dialog on polyamory, kink, gender, sex and queerness, I’m all for it.  If you’re just going to threaten and insult me and the people I love, you’re not going to find an outlet here.

The overwhelming majority of the comments I’ve gotten and the conversations I’ve had in email, have been positive, respectful and interesting.  A big thank you to all who have been supportive.  I’d appreciate it if you’d continue :-)

I’m amazed at people who pontificate their bullshit and beliefs in the blog of someone else. There is a little red X in the upper right hand corner. If you don’t like what you are reading you are free to leave. Maybe even grow a pair and start your own blog. *sigh*

I am so sorry this has happened to you.

It’s too bad that some people don’t know when to keep their mouths shut. You still win though.

Can’t blame you for not wanting to take crap from some fucktard and providing them a forum for their hate. Sorry this has happened but glad you will continue sharing your story.

Some people just can’t find anything better to do with their miserable lives than to try to spread their misery to others, and they try even harder when they find someone who’s happiness is hard to break.
I’ve only had one such asshat on my blog so far, thankfully, but I’m sure I’ll have more in the years to come!
Keep doing your thing, Kyle! The people who count love it! :)

Just keep doing your thing…you’re seriously awesome at it.

One of my favorite life sayings kind of applies here – “It’s none of your business what they think of you.” Don’t even concern yourself with this person or any others who might pop up along the way.

I am continually impressed with your writing, your obvious love and caring for the many wonderful people in your life and your ability to tell it like it is. It takes courage and strength to do what you’re doing, thank you for continuing and not just shutting this whole thing down (as I was afraid was going to happen when it went down yesterday morning…).

Anyway, kudos to you. I look forward to reading many more insightful and thoughtful posts!

Thank you (and everyone who’s commented). No, not shutting it down.. I’ll do what I need to do to protect my peeps, but I’m not gonna let bullies run my life.

Oddly I’ve never had a complete random stranger troll me on one of my blogs, ever. That is not to say that I’ve never had troll comments but never one that was random, its always been someone from my physical life who has taken issue with some *thing* that I either have or haven’t done, based on their own opinions and preconceptions of who/what I’m supposed to be.

The greatest support and love I’ve ever gotten for being myself and speaking freely has been on the www and usually its the people close to me who take offence at who I am.

I hope it isn’t someone you actually physically know because that comment is especially vile when you think that the individual responsible could be smiling at you and drinking coffee in your livingroom or around the water cooler at work…

Keep the Faith Kyle, we believe in you.
