I, for one, desperately want to put this behind me.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845901120926051578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-23917934490582742007-01-29T17:10:00.000-08:002007-01-29T17:10:00.000-08:00I am sorry that you have been so upset about this ...I am sorry that you have been so upset about this incident.<br /><br />I, too, am a little put off by the "outing" of this person. By acknowledging that you even received these comments publicly, you are giving the anon commenter exactly what they want - attention and drama. <br /><br />I have received nasty anon comments on my blog and other sites on the internet. Sure, it pisses me off and I may have a few choice words for the offenders, but I don't dwell on it too much - if people are so bored they need to "haunt" other people's blogs, sucks to be them. I delete and (try to) ignore.If not a mother...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16439565019650943028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-56201566861175496862007-01-29T11:42:00.000-08:002007-01-29T11:42:00.000-08:00Allison -

I've watched the whole thing over the past couple of days with a little bit of a sick-stomach. <br /><br />First - "I will not release the lurkers name." This line really got to me. It implies that you've got some sort of power over this person - who is obviously feeling pretty powerless already. It struck me as mean.<br /><br />Second - anyone who's read the comments on your blog and on Scott's - and then read this post - would assume, as I did, that the person is part of this community. Not to mention that I know you've identified their location on another of your pages. Sad, really. <br /><br />I know you're reacting to the lurkers comments and tone, but I don't agree with others who seem to think you've taken the high road in this exchange. <br /><br />Just my opinion, though.<br /><br />NicoleNicole Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847231791131970750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-58463057271932306032007-01-29T11:18:00.000-08:002007-01-29T11:18:00.000-08:00Nicole,
Oh no! I'm sorry. My explanation was not ...Nicole,<br /><br />Oh no! I'm sorry. My explanation was not meant to say at all that the person is a member of the community. What I was implying was that by circulating any name or location of a person, it might make people feel like they should be more guarded or that they need to be "on the lookout" for this new anonymous lurker. So I just wanted to say that we don't need to worry about that at all. I think it's a waste of energy to get too caught up in all of this.<br /><br />I also didn't want to say who it is for the very reason that they might be afraid or decide that they would not ever want to be a part of the Diabetes O.C. Being caught and then put up on display is what will hurt the most. <br /><br />I said the person was a lurker for a reason.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845901120926051578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-40156264979733300902007-01-29T09:54:00.000-08:002007-01-29T09:54:00.000-08:00Allison,
Although I can appreciate that mean anon...Allison,<br /><br />Although I can appreciate that mean anonymous commenters make life more difficult than it needs to be, I don't think it is terribly graceful of you to "out" the person as a member of the community - which is essentially what you've done here. I really think that doing that only fosters greater animosity and mistrust within the group. Wouldn't a simple sentence about having identified and emailed the person have been enough? <br /><br />I know this is your blog - and you can do what you want, but I think this post has the potential to cause even more hurt feelings. <br /><br />NicoleNicole Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847231791131970750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-48704425315281506412007-01-29T09:52:00.000-08:002007-01-29T09:52:00.000-08:00I emailed you before, but now that the cat is out ...I emailed you before, but now that the cat is out of the bag, I'll say that you didn't deserve the lashing out of anon. You've handled yourself with class :)<br /><br />I don't have a lot of comments on my blog and I certainly don't get to comment on everyone's blog either.<br /><br />Anon, don't take things so personally. We're all in the same boat in one sense or another.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082031887238694358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14438357.post-85243931558480594242007-01-29T09:11:00.000-08:002007-01-29T09:11:00.000-08:00Well said, Allison.
I am sorry that you were hara...Well said, Allison.<br /><br />I am sorry that you were harassed like that, and I am sorry too that the A.L. has felt left out of this community.<br /><br />Like Scott said, there's no way that any one of us can follow ALL the blogs out there.<br /><br />We don't want to be alone. It makes me sad to think that this person feels alone with this disease.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896184498657223994noreply@blogger.com
