They used to be cutting edge and right on point, but as they have grown they have simply started to become the same big corporate assholes they claim to stand up against. Don't listen to me though, I recently had my comments disabled after calling their readers readers retards. Justified? Maybe, but the whole reason I started posting there was my perception that I was free to comment as long as it wasn't spam, and was on point. Not anymore.

At least this is what I do on my origami blog, but rarely do I get any very negative comments. The best way to react to negative comments is to… delete them.

Nice to have you back again! I hope you are feeling and doing better. :) Thanks for taking the time to read the post. I remember the Penguin Visitor post, yes. Someone was arguing that penguins should not be cared for and "penguin tourism" is good, even if it dangers the Penguins. Your response style seems smart, by the way. Also, about bringing up the facts repeatedly, I see what you mean. That style can help people but it can also cause people to say that the facts can be disputed? Is that was you meant? Bringing up facts can show that you are right, though some people who may be bent on being right and not admitting to their mistake may get offended even more if a blog author shows some facts. Also, reacting by maintaining a distance is interesting too. It can help people express what they want and let out their feelings while you observe and not dispute with them. Thanks Jerine for the detailed response. :) See you on msn. :D Jerine, I forgot to post my reply to your comment above, sorry.
