Yeah, I think I got that comment by anonymous, It was this huge anti-Christian thing. I only allow registered users to comment on my blog now. Cheerio!

WOW! I didn't know that so much of that junk was going on. And on HSB? What a shame. You are very right, and I am glad that you wrote this for everyone to see. We do need to blog with discretion. Alot of places like myspace are full of people blogging and talking without any kind of discretion. It only leads to trouble. I hope that the people who are like that here on HSB will think carefully before commenting and blogging, and take what you have had to say to heart!
God bless!

Wow...I don't think I've really run into much of that here at HSB, but I think you'd know about it better than me. I mean, I've seen disagreements and everything, but nothing spiteful.
I'm not sure that I see your point about older men and younger girls..."even if he was a Godly, Biblical man, he (and she) have no right to have any type of relationship" - I am VERY careful about older men on the internet (even here on HSB), but if he's a Godly, Biblical man who is giving you good spiritual advice and encouragement...I don't really see what's wrong with that??? Of course, my parents would have to be involved and approve of everything. Otherwise I wouldn't think of it. There are quite a few great homeschooling dads here, though.
You are TOTALLY right about being careful not to be flirtatious in any way!! I try to be discreet when I'm commenting on guy's blogs. I try to make it a point not to leave them too many multiple comments as well. Thanks for the great reminder!!
Keep on striving for holiness in everything,
Love, your sister in Christ,
Sylvia

| Hello, thanks for the comment! I sent Tia a request to post The Challenge. I sent it about three days before it was supposed to start, so I guess things were just busy and it wasn't posted soon enough. I've never heard of a blog-fight before. Hmmmm. As for an older woman commenting on a young mans blog...I am an older woman, 46, and I've posted comments on three boys' blogs because I was responding to their comments that were left on my blog. I don't see anything wrong with doing that and it doesn't always imply that I, or any other woman, wants to be their buddy and speak their language. I am a youth leader in my church and so I'm around teens all the time, it feels natural for me to talk to teens, whether it is boy or girl. I'm afraid we don't share the same opinion on that, but we are uniquely individual and have our own views. |

Very good entry, I agree. I read a lot of boys blogs, but I never have a problem with flirting with them. I have never understood how you can flirt with/like someone you have never even spoken to. I don't know how to flirt in real life so I sure don't know how to flirt online. I might be creeped out if a 45ish year old man was commenting on my blog. I have never really paid a ton of attention to comments on other people's blog so I haven't noticed the things you have but I agree it sounds like it could be a problem.

You have handled this topic well. I am concerned by the blogosphere for my children also. Currently none of them have a blog, but I know that they look forward to joining this "world" soon. I am happy to hear the way that your mother guards her children. I have courage to know that I too can help my children be wise and careful. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up!

Hey, sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your question. That would be fine if you want to add me to your emailing list. I currently do not have a email adress, so here's my moms.

BTW, that was a very good entry. I totally agree with you on those issues.

Hello!
Yeah..... I was "downsizing" my friends list and accidentially took off people that I didn't mean to take off. Sorry! Then I decided that downsizing was a stupid idea because even if I got my friends list really small I would still only talk to a few people on a regular basis. So then I put everyone back on and realized who all I had taken off.
That was a great post. I've "grown up" as far as my computer etiquette..... I'm more careful about what I say and who I talk to. I'm thankful to all the people who helped me to grow up, even if I was hurt or offended in the process. It's almost harder to put what you say nicely on the computer.... the person can't see your expression, hear the tone of your voice. You know?
Yes, I asked Mama about joining SSA and she said I could! I was quite pleased. :-)
I like your layout, with the two sidebars. I'm trying to figure out how to do that, but I haven't had the time to fiddle around with it much.
Blessings,
Becca |

We got our blog back. We had to quit partially because of that nasty anonymous comment. I didn't actually see it but mama did and told me that it was there so I didn't get back on my blog until it was deleted.
I think you are completely right.

I totally agree with you and I was just wondering if you saw any of that from me or on my blog? I would really want to know if you do. Thank-you for being a really, really good and encouraging "Blog" friend :)
God Bless You!!!

Thanks for coming and leaving the comments! Yeah, no point waiting 5 hours for a 5 minute movie. lol!
I read both of your entries and they are very good! Since reading the "Why are you so popular" post, I am trying to do longer comments. Mainly because I dont't like one-line comments either (Although I posted them quite frequently).
Also, thank you for the compliment on my moms template, I keep learning more and more with every template I put together. But there is so much more to learn.
Thanks again,
-Cameron

Hey Jocelyn! That was a great post! I totally agree with you on everything! We definately need to be careful about who we frequently comment or talk with. I have been disturbed by some of the same things you mention, also.
Hope you have a great day!

Joci, I love your honesty and your speaking the truth in love. You’re so right. We do need to be careful about who we associate with on our blogs. That's one of the ways we can keep ourselves pure and set a good example to others.
I'm glad you're doing the challenge! How's it going? I'm sure learning a lot. :-)
Love,

Jun. 24, 2007 - Note from Brielle |
| Posted by BrielleCostumes |
Hello Jocelyn,
Thank you for your comment…it is always nice to hear from you.
Your post was very good….I agree that you should use discretion when posting or blogging to other people and I think that it is ok if you disagree with someone about something ,but that does not justify rudeness and mean words. We must be careful to not be hateful or get jealous of others…especially while blogging because just a typed note is not the same as a person telling you something…there are no facial expressions to let you know if that person is joking or making a cutting remark. So I agree with you about your post….Over all I would say that I’ve certainly enjoyed meeting new people and receiving comments from others on HSB….it’s been and still is a great experience. I love blogging… I continue to pray that I will leave kind and friendly comments and I hope that my notes are received as such. :)
I’m going to post this evening about a mailing list…plus if anyone wants to sign up for it then I’ll have little extra news and other costume info on there….Oh, I had another idea I wanted to run by you…do you think that there would be an interest in a pattern review section? For example I would make a pattern up do a review about the level of sewing what skills you’d need or what to change in the pattern to make it fit or look better. So I might do a review on a Simplicity blouse or skirt pattern….I’m just thinking out loud. :)
Oh, after hearing your suggestion I did divide my blog posts up into smaller pages…could you let me know if it loads a little faster?...thank you so much.
God Bless………
Love,
Brielle

I will try to type this, but I hurt my hand today and it is really hurting... so forgive typos please.
Your thoughts on older women (I'm 37) commenting on boys' blogs really bothered me. NOt that I disagreed, it bothered me b/c it made me worry that I had not been careful enough.
I have not been flirtatious in anyway, but when I thought of my 15 year old daughter getting comments from a man my age it made me uncomfortable.
I think an occasional encouraging comment would be fine and even welcome, but if it was seeming to be a habitual thing in any way, I would probably be concerned.
thinkig back i donot think I have been a repeat guests at any male's blog except for my own sons, but I certainly will think about it more diligently.
I have had negative comments in the past and had to realy pray about how to respond. I hada string of anti-homeschool comments about a year ago, I think they were all from one "anonymous " commenter.
Jocelyn, once again you have spurred me on to thinking carefully about what I say and do.
Thankyou for sharing you insights. You are wise beyond your years. |

Hi Jocelyn; There's some good thinking going on in that noggin :) I try to check out my kids' friends list to see if they are of good quality. It kinda makes me feel guilty to delete some, but I don't want my kids to be deceived in any way. We talk about the pros/ cons and I think it produces good discernment by exposing what doesn't line up with Scripture.
Growing up can be messy... :) |
