ADVERTISEMENTS

The best part about having my VERY. OWN. BLOG. is that it is like my very own playground that I get to moderate. So here is the deal: Break-ups are hard, personal & messy. They often stem from relationships that have been spiraling down the toilet for months or years. Now you might not *like* Legally Fabulous' comments regarding her ex's wife, but unless you ARE her ex's wife you don't get to judge her on it. You have no idea what the Ex was like, what the Wife is like, and the myriad of other things that go into the opinion she has formed. Also, I think part of her was being a little tongue in cheek. And pointing out how hurtful it is when someone you once loved picks someone who is the complete opposite of yourself to settle down with- it kind of makes your relationship with them seem invalidated or false. And while it might seem snarky or mean to you, it is her OPINION and she is entitled to it. At least she left hers with a way that allowed me (or you) to get in touch with her privately if either of us disagreed with it....(cough cough).

What I'm saying is, play nice. Don't judge, even if you think someone else is judging. Be a bigger person. And if you really take offense to it, go to *her* blog, find her contact email address and send her a note where you can discuss it like grown ups.

Finally, and I think this why I'm so freaking annoyed with you, is if you are going to leave a negative comment, don't do so anonymously. It makes us think that you are nothing but a __________ _____________ _______________ who goes around lecturing people on manners. If you are going to criticize or chastise, leave a name and perhaps an email address. If you make a legitimate point, someone might want to thank you. If you come across like a nitwit, someone might want to let you know. Politely and in private of course. By leaving your comments anonymously you leave no choice but for me to determine that whatever good point you might be making is completely obliterated by your lack of courage in saying it. And call you out.
