Vote for Me!!

I have been nominated for the Parent's Pick 2009 "local blog" category. All you have to do to vote is click on this button For Local Blog
in Orlando
and select Homeschooling Four and click vote. You can vote once a day. Right now, the percentage is NOT in my favor at all. I did just find out about this today though.

You know I hate to lose a contest :) Help me out!

STUPID Anonymous Comments!

Let me start this post with the reasons I allow anonymous comments on my blog with no moderation:

1) Many people find it difficult to leave a comment as anything other than anonymous if they don't have a blog or google account.

2) I like to see my comments show up immediately on a blog, so I want to do the same for others.

3) I have only had rare occasions where anonymous comments have been negative enough that they required being deleted.

Well, one of those occasions happened just this week. A person decided to comment on my "I got the job" post and here is the dialog that occurred:

Oh, I just love those anonymous comments where people say stupid and ignorant things about a person they know nothing about.
Thanks for being too scared to say who you are :)

And, again with the fear and audacity to comment anonymously. I really have never understood why people like you do that.
It just shows that you have nothing better to do than to try and start an argument with someone you don't know. Pretty pathetic.
This is my last reply to you and any other comments you post will be deleted.
Thank you for wasting another 60 seconds of my life.

As you can see, this anonymous person did reply again and I did stay to my word and delete the comment.
One thing I would like to make note of is that this last comment was signed "concerned educator". Ahhh, that rings a bell. I have had a run in with this antagonist before. In my post "Back into the swing of things" I had a similar conversation with this same person.
I refuse to let 1 person with very jaded and ignorant views cause me to change the way I administer my blog.
My blog is public and open for anyone to see. I have nothing to hide. In contrast, this "concerned educator" has no blog, gives no name or method of contact.
Also, this is the same person that commented before, which means they are reading my blog.

Dear Concerned Educator,
If you disagree so much with the decisions we make and the standards we live by, why do you keep coming back?
I mean, really, there are thousands and thousands or blogs out there to read. Do you just enjoy a good argument now and again? Do you search the internet for forums you disagree with so you can try to rock the boat?
If you don't like what I have to say here, go somewhere else!!
By the way, I plan to start deleting your comments without reply from now on. I do not have the time or the energy to argue with any more children in my life. I already have 4 and you are more childish than any of them!
Sincerely,
Home Educator
