Well, I do.
If someone makes a post and doesn't allow replies, then I feel as though they either don't want to listen or they are are afraid of hearing something they don't want to hear.
I never could understand that attitude and neither can I understand this site making the "no right of reply" possible.

I feel that a lot of what I write doesn't need comment. If someone feels strongly enough about it they can memo me or write their own blog about it. I do enable replies sometimes, if it's a blog that I feel needs replies, or if I'm asking for info about something. http://desocialized.com/ | ||

I think this may be more about people who decide whose replies they allow.

This evening I wrote my first weblog in ages. I set it so that I had to vet posts before making them public. I felt more comfortable doing it this way. Perhaps I will change in future. But I doubt it. So far I've only had one response and approved it within an hour of it going up. Whatever you dream you can do begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.

I thought it might be, from the title but the body of the post didn't seem to say so. Going by the title, if it is people who blog, enable replies but don't approve them until later, then yes that annoys me. If I post something and it comes up crossed out (ie: Not approved yet) I almost always immediately delete my reply. As the title of this blog says - I hate being crossed out. http://desocialized.com/ | ||

I have written about this several times, it really is a big pat hate of mine. People either vetting posts so only nice ones, or worse, ones that agree with them are shown. Making it look like everyone agrees with them, when really the ones that don't aren't shown. I too cannot understand why the facility is provided. I think that it is fine not to allow replies, but to allow them, but not to show them is ridiculous. I probably delete about 90% of the replies that I make as soon as I see they are crossed through. If I do several replies to the same person and they appear crossed out, even worse if they don't allow them to be seen later, I simply start ignoring that persons posts. If people are interested in other people's opinions and someone has gone to the trouble of posting a reply, then let them be seen. If you are not interested in the opinions of others, or you just want to make a statement, not debate something, then don't allow replies. No one will then waste their time replying. Gary.

mmm I have blogged, but sometimes I wish I could keep my blog private...or just have my network friends allowed to see it...but ah well. But if i am going to blog under IC rules then I see not point in blocking replies.....if they read it, let them respond

It doesnt bother me so much if my replies to someones blog is crossed through straight away as they mainly put them to visible when they have veted them. Its when you reply and they are visible and then the blogger hides them that really gets on my tits, specially when there is no reason to hide them that i am aware of. Its strange how different people read different things into the same words.x | ||
