quick note...

Just to say I've deleted my deadjournal. This is not meant to be in a spirit of rancour, but just because I've realised I can't use it the way I want to; it just winds people up. I tried to do a blanket vent yesterday to make myself feel better but it just pissed people off and they started arguing with me, quite understandably - but it rather defeated the point. I didn't want to disable comments, but what I really needed was a button that said "Allow comments that agree with you only," which of course is impossible. :o)

No hard feelings, I hope. Certainly none from my side.

I dont think there is a need to delete your dj, especially now you have explained this - if you dont want to disable comments in future just mark such posts with something like "VENT - usual requirement re comments" and I will be happy to comply :)

I'm so with you there. You can always say in the post that you only want comments of agreement, I suppose? Sorry to see you go.

Fwiw, I've sometimes posted a request for comments of agreement only, and have found that people have respected it. Of course, the people who wanted to comment negatively may have done so where I can't see, but I don't mind that. Might be worth trying in future, if you still want to have somewhere to vent or post when feeling vulnerable or whatever.

good, well done. The net is very easally turned into a bullshit generator by mistake.

None from me -- and I should have stressed more firmly that if a difference of opinion over the Iraq war isn't worth losing a friend over, a difference of opinion over the Olympics most certainly is not. And I'm glad someone is pleased we've got them.

None here. I am looking forward to the Olympics, fwiw, now that we have them.

See you soon.
