I don’t delete any comments either and I love comments on my blog! I think leaving comments is also a courtesy way of telling people that you are reading their blogs. i sometimes wonder why people don’t comment on my blog but want to comment to me through other means instead! It’s my first time to your blog! Thanks for your frank opinion.

Only the spams. Other than that I don’t , I enjoy reading other peoples reaction to my blog . Although, the comments that you posted recently to my blog were not reflected, I don’t know why. It’s still in my mailbox though. Thanks for those

Thanks for your comment on my blog…I love comments! It reassures me that at least someone reads what I’m writing. Although I often ask myself if that’s the reason I blog or if I blog for my own pleasure? I guess it’s a bit of both. I just wish my friends would comment. Since we’ve moved I feel like they’ve fallen off the face of the earth! I like following your blog, as we have both been in our new countries the same amount of time. Dubai sounds crazy busy! NZ is pretty laid back!

I never deleted comments. Only that last time when I imported new commenting system into my blog, that made the previous comments can’t be viewed on the blog page anymore. This is because the comment part is using another new database system. However I still can view all the previous comments every time I signed in into my blog account. Including one comment I received which was very negatively commenting towards ME. I replied her comment to support my own opinions, and the reply-comment was even much longer than the entry I wrote ;P. As for me, I think other people do has different opinion and I like to know what they think too even though I don’t necessarily have to accept his/her opinion. Except for spam, surely I will delete it if I get it someday.

I love reading your blog. Only that I’m not good at giving comment =D. Thanks for the comment you left on my blog during last time (and that was before I changed into the new comment system) =D.

Lastly, SAKURA is blooming here!

you sound pissed! your comments on my blog are always welcome. I must admit I am an advocate for positive things. And that doesn’t mean I do not have any opinion. I guess it is up to the homeowner what she/he wants to keep inside her/his house and what she will trash.

Hi—new reader to your blog.
Interesting post.
I haven’t had any call to delete comments, even those that disagree. It would seem that a differing of thoughts would be a postive, something that leads to greater dialogue and, possibly, greater clarity for all who are reading.

I can see deleting spammers.

Thanks for the post.

I have never deleted comments, except for spam. I sometimes don’t agree with comments left and then I’ll take it on with the specific person via e-mail OR if I feel the need to explain myself better after reading a comment, I will add to my post.

I do understand that sometimes people don’t want comment on a post. On a post that they want to explain themself and almost know that people will read it wrongly? I don’t know. I haven’t done that yet…but I can see why some people will

I think in 5 years of blogging, I have deleted a total of two non-spam comments. And that’s because they were just downright mean, nasy and attacking. Differing opinions I can handle. Nastiness I cannot. After all, it’s my “house” in a way, so I don’t have to listen to people being rude and obnoxious to me is the way I see it.

Sometimes I write a post that is just something I wanted to say and I don’t really want to discuss it – I just want to say it and get it off my chest – and I don’t turn comments on, but that’s the exception and not the rule. And sometimes I’ll turn comments off on old posts if they get a lot of spam comments, just because I get tired of deleting them. Other than that, I’m pretty open.
