Blogs are personal accounts they're not designed to make everyone happy. We read them to hear other opinions. I do anyway.

I love it that you have strong opinions and aren't afraid to voice them, shame it means that you come under attack for that as you're only being honest. <br /><br />Nothing would drive me away from your blog, have loved it from the first day I found you.

The top 100 is nothing more than a popularity contest. Your averaging almost 20 visitors a day, so you're obviously not doing it for the fame or recognition, so what does it matter what other people or doing or saying?<br /><br />S xxSuziehttp://suzie.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719633936456636651.post-31403797001611655232010-02-24T18:20:49.446+00:002010-02-24T18:20:49.446+00:00Exactly, as I say, it is only a read only platform...Exactly, as I say, it is only a read only platform. Perhaps with the sudden craze for vlogging, the days of misunderstanding will end.<br /><br />And glad I'm not the only one who gives the advice that PRs/brands will want your stats from you, regardless of lists.<br /><br />I started blogging via My Space years ago, before PR people started to catch on in the UK, and had no intention of using my blog to get free stuff, rather to keep my hand in with my hobby, and in the hope that an editor might spot me in the same way as Lily Allen got noticed by a producer! Its just when you are being contacted more and more then its hard not to have ones head turned.<br /><br />Hence why I started reviewing separately to the main blog, firstly through a little page, then the "other" site, now Family Panel. But again, I review honestly, regardless of upsetting the brand, and love the chance to write in a different style to this pageClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225577462194501357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719633936456636651.post-22454366980490835242010-02-24T17:57:46.626+00:002010-02-24T17:57:46.626+00:00Sadly I think a lot of the bad feeling that's ...Sadly I think a lot of the bad feeling that's arising in the blogging community is to do with misunderstandings/misinterpretations. I think people forget that words can cause hurt and upset if they're interpreted incorrectly and that's something we all need to be aware of - it's easy to forget you're not actually talking to people verbally and therefore they won't always get the innotations you're using. I'm quite outspoken and use irony a lot but that doesn't always come across on twitter, for example, and that's something I'm personally making an extra effort to be aware of.<br /><br />As far as PR companies go... I get the impression most bloggers blog for the love of writing, not because they want to be contacted by PR companies. I agree with you though that if you want to build a relationship with PR companies you don't necessarily have to be ranked on a list, although inevitably you will be asked for your stats as PRs become more blog-savvy.Liz (LivingwithKids)http://www.kidstart.co.uk/livingwithkidsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719633936456636651.post-76402755020898845582010-02-24T15:20:50.363+00:002010-02-24T15:20:50.363+00:00I don't know what it is with some people; some...I don't know what it is with some people; some can take offence at the slightest little comment, occasionally it might be the wrong time of the month for them, unless they're a bloke of course, then it's just because they don't like being disagreed with.<br /><br />I feel sorry that you have had to endure this and especially sorry that you are pulling out of lists etc. But whatever makes you feel better you must do. Sometimes we just want to say our piece.

Sometimes the things we say aren't taken as we mean them, especially on the web! Don't worry yourself over it, there is still plenty of love in the blogging community and I tend to laugh at those trying to put a wedge in our otherwise happy place. I say, be sarcastic!

The more controversial you are, the more likely people are to disagree with you. As long as this is done in a respectful way this isn't a problem like you say. The more hurtful stuff will always happen and my new mantra for dealing with that is either to ignore it or stay away from the blogosphere until you feel okay again. There is a lot of positive stuff in the world of mummy blogging too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917443753880382461noreply@blogger.com
