RIGHT TO REPLY
I have only been a member of this site for a week.Already I have noticed that some people post on the Blogs then disable the ability to post comments. This prevents people from having a healthy debate about the subject matter.
How can we get a better understanding or an unblinkered view if we close ourselves off to other peoples opinions or genuine facts?
Why is there only a Like facility but no Dislike facility?
Am I the only one that feels this way?

As for your questions, I'll just let the others answer you
This is a topic that has been thoroughly debated here many many times before. Several bloggers feel the same as you and get frustrated by it, but the overriding view is that cs blogs follows the 'freedom of choice' principle.
So if you don't want to allow comments, it's your choice.
There are so many different types of people here Graema. Some are just fun and funny, others are serious and philosophical, some are shall we say ' one brick short', some are sad and pitiful.
There seems to be a type that constantly post blogs that don't allow comments. They are usually troubled, attention seeking but lack the self confiidence or people skills to take part in any debate.
Best thing is to just let it go and enjoy yourself on the blogs.
The right to reply is as much as the right to disallow comment. Live with that!
@robbyreal
While I do understand the freedom of choice aspect of being able to post comments or not.
Why no dislike button? This would allow people to at least express their own dislike to peoples views or posts even if it is anonymous.
Care to back it up with more than just a
I would take all with a Pinch of salt. Join in, or just read, whatever floats your boat.
We have got used to folk not allowing comments, or after awhile if blog is getting, mmm shall we say destructive, then blog block anymore comments.
I do not agree with dislike button, if you have something to say about a blog, just say it, a annomanouse dislike buttoms is almost the same as blog blocking comments JMO of course
Kal, while I do live and let live and will have forgotten the thing that triggered me shortly. Sometimes posts trigger a response when you absolutely, positively know that what they are saying is factually incorrect.
It makes it especially difficult when posts that trigger me are from people that live in a free thinking society where all the information is available to them if they only looked beyond their own backyards. Then they post on their profiles that they are free thinking and open minded..
I am generally a happy go lucky type of person, but sometimes.........
There is no Dislike facility in social media, I´m sure you do not need a link
Thanks for the welcome.
I hate to contradict you, but I do believe You Tube has both a Like and Dislike option. I am not so sure about other social media as I try to keep my online presence to a minimum.
I was just posing the question, as Rob pointed out this subject seems to have been exhausted in earlier posts.
cachucha sorry
my correction corrected itself hahaha
Call me Cach, easy peasy .....have a look at the Forums...its a different kind of madness but is fun too, as I said: welcome and hope you enjoy your time here.
Just for the record, even facebook has a dislike function when nk about.
When you hold down the
Correction: when you think about it.......
But that´s me and my madness ....ignore my opinion and judge by yourself please
Anyway, its sunny here and I must move this gorgeous body to produce
@CC. .....and I do not have any problem in giving you all credits for that
Sorry for
Cheers guys
All opinions are respected and considered. I do make my own judgements too.
It does seem the same people generally comment on these posts though.
Hi CC you have not been discounted
Thanks rob and everyone else who have responded so far
...well well well see who is there Mr. SW "...their warped little minds can't comprehend "
Who is the eminence now @Robb?
No one here has "little minds" Sir, no one. Do not bother to reply. I´m gone. Continue breathing ....
Seaworthy just Graeme is fine
I'm glad at least that someone is commenting and giving me an insight into how things are here.
I have been sat on my hands for a week waiting to be able to post and comment, now I am free relatively speaking. I have read lots of posts on the forums and blogs.
All types of people with differing views have posted, I do not oppose people with different views. I just wondered why some people would choose not to let people comment if they are so sure of their own views.
I kind of agree about the number of blogs per day. Some bloggers do kind of hog the limelight a bit...haha.
I guess that should just be an unwritten rule and up to everyone to try their best to adhere to it.
Funny thing is that there are many people here who have CLAIMED to know the truth, to have the fact, when what they have was just from internet, youtube mostly. And I am sure you know that FACT CAN BE DISTORTED.
You only have been here for a week, like you said, and you are frustrated already? That's strange.
Why frustration, when you can create your own blog on that "frustrating" topic and ask other bloggers for opinion.
Thanks for the welcome.
I am not worried, it was just a question. Rob did explain it had been discussed already exhaustively I think was how he put it.
I don't know why you would think I am familiar? Have we met before IRL?
Your right to walk on by. Your right to post a counter blog.
And of course the one you chose, The right to have a whinge about it
