I welcome comments on my blog posts, and am happy to have spirited conversations with those who may disagree with my opinions – at the end of the day we’re entitled to our opinions.
Comments on this blog site require approval before they are visible, and yesterday I was glad that this setting was enabled as someone left this comment on my thread about Exchange Online backups:
We live in the age of the Internet where trolls exist and harass people in comment areas of blog sites, Twitter and any other form of communicate that doesn’t require face to face confrontation.
This particular comment doesn’t bother me, it more so surprised me that someone would be so bold and direct – yet so cowardly that they used a fake email address.
Whoever this person is, I’d appreciate you make a comment on this blog with your communication details so we can talk directly and you can tell me why such a direct and vulgar comment was worthy of being posted. I can assure that nobody will see your details as the comment requires my approval before being visible.
Own up to your comment or keep to your corner and continue being a coward.

I wonder if that’s scripted. I setup a website for a friends kid who has an infactuation with Justin B. nevertheless, she gets a lot of abuse, all scripted to her name, sounds relatively real in short sentences but bogus emails.
If it is real, then this person is a tool. Ignore them and carry on doing what you do, your content must be good otherwise I would not be subscribed 😉
Keep your chin up 🙂
Best wishes,

Thanks Gabi for following and sharing that info. We’ll see if a trend emerges from this. 🙂
Let’s hope not as that can lead to opening the flood gates. Some of the clients I have don’t want validation on the comment boxed and I find that once or two of these come in,can turn into hundreds daily.
Good luck though 🙂 looking forward to a positive article next 😉
Loryan,
As you know, we all fight the good fight against trolls and others that feel the animosity of the internet gives them free reign to post comments and such that the writer would never have the guts to do face to face! I agree with you that moderated comments are now not only helpful but almost required when you, and your thoughts and advice, are available on this open and available internet!
We strive to give information, right wrong or indifferent, and the trolls and people that differ from our views take it to an entirely different level when they hide behind a cloak of the internet!
