Update

Well, in my last post I spoke of a woman who was filled with hatred for Catholics and at the same time had no logical argument against the Church. Well, she has now forbidden comments on her blog (except for members... ergo no one that disagrees with her). How did all of this start? Because she got angry at me for not posting all of her comments on my blog. Sounds like hypocrisy to me.

Anyway, I was only one of the few people that actually read her blog, so it's not like she has a lot of viewership to lose. Please continue to pray for her.

    Brett:

    I know of whom you speak.

    I found her blog by accident a couple of weeks ago and have left a few comments on it. The posts either end up deleted, or followed by a raging tirade of capital letters and multiple exclamation points. I guess I should be grateful since she hasn't been as cruel to me as she has to you and another person.

    By closing her blog to anyone who dares to disagree with her or offer contrary information, she has pretty much created a great environment for talking to herself--and if you look at some of her latest posts, that's exactly what she is doing.

    I guess I would have to question why she would put up a blog in the first place. I think most of us blog because we believe we have significant information to share and we like the interaction with readers. That interaction is almost always going to include somebody disagreeing with us. But can we disagree without being disagreeable?

    I have deleted posts on my blog, but the need to do so is pretty rare. Most of the time it has been to delete an obscenity or to simply stop someone who is being abusive or mocking. But disagreement is always welcome. How can we have a discussion if we cannot discuss our differences? And discussing one's differences CAN be done without name-calling.

    After reading a number of this woman's posts she has given readers some distinct clues about some bad things that have likely happened to her and/or her family. When people react this rabidly and irrationally against the Catholic Church, or, for that matter, anyone, there is usually something more going on than the ostensible reasons they give.

    But give the woman credit, at least her new format is more honest. The only opinion she seems to value is her own. Most likely that's all she's going to ever get now.
