However, my diatribe seems to have reduced my visitors back to the normal amount which is a good thing. I don't know why people seem to feel that they absolutely positively must be rude and abusive towards others online, but it seems to be some sort of game that earns them something. Who knows? Maybe they get paid for it.<br /><br />I read somewhere that there is a window of opportunity during which people will listen and carefully consider the facts of others before forming their own opinion. After that they listen to absolutely nothing that doesn't support the opinion they've formed. For far too many that window closed when Fox News began it's first broadcast. *sigh*Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944532662261333590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-843435065757993788.post-6627996559415838682013-01-17T05:04:41.918-05:002013-01-17T05:04:41.918-05:00Sherry,

It does seem a couple have crept in on Twitter but I'm just ignoring them. I did go back to Facebook when most of my family who had dropped off rejoined, so it remains to be seen if I'll get spammed from that direction. Here, I think I've only ever had two comments that even made my spam folder. Mostly I get comments from former Blogstreamers. The only time I have gotten into weird comment exchanges is when I have posted on a message board on one or another of the sites I have visited. Still, from comments I have read here and there, I know what you mean about trying to reason with SHOUTERS. I can almost hear my words clanging off their closed minds.Mister Orneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037797785076725160noreply@blogger.com
