Comments on: Your comments are mine… not? http://www.teddy-o-ted.com/food-for-thought/your-comments-are-mine-not/ Design of a minimalist, content of a maximalist Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:18:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Olivia Kitty http://www.teddy-o-ted.com/food-for-thought/your-comments-are-mine-not/#comment-40868 Olivia Kitty Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:35:27 +0000 http://www.teddy-o-ted.com/?p=2070#comment-40868 I think the owner of the blog should be able to regulate and delete what goes on their website, including comments. I have known this ability to be abused. For example, an owner of a blog replaced what I typed with insulting text. But, it's a good thing overall. As the owner of a personal website I don't feel an obligation to "protect" readers from unsavory text. Parents/Guardians should do that for minors. Adults can click the "X", and move on with their life. I think the owner of the blog should be able to regulate and delete what goes on their website, including comments.

Therefore the owner should have rights over comments and be able to modify them especially when they contain inflammatory content. But I do also agree that just because someone posts something you disagree with, doesn't give you the right to modify the comment- I have seen some webmasters do this and make it a point never to post on those sites!

It's been a long time since I've made a public appearance. I hope you and the media remember me. LOL. Okay-- It's really been a while. How's it going? :razz: I agree with you. I would only edit comments if there's something seriously wrong about it, like grammar or content. :smile: Check out Grace's last blog post: <a href='http://neonscent.com/blog/2008/06/22/a-revamp-a-comeback/' rel="nofollow">A Revamp, A Comeback!</a> Hey Teddy!

Given the responsibility and ownership rights, we are also accountable for the protection of personal information submitted by our commentators. We should also respect the freedom of speech - do not modify comments just because they disagree with you or have different opinions on the same issue.

We're given the right to moderate comments as of when necessary and so we're responsible of keeping comments clean of vulgarities and spammish links. No, your comment is insightful! Who says it's crappy? :razz: Yep precisely. We’re given the right to moderate comments as of when necessary and so we’re responsible of keeping comments clean of vulgarities and spammish links.

I will moderate or remove offensive comments, but if they're personal attacks (on me, that is), I'll be more than happy to leave them there to let others see how horribly childish some detractors are.
