Because people know you can't trace who they are, they don't just disagree, they like to get outrageously ugly. So I comment and move on. But I too have had times when my comment disappeared or failed to post. Like Teri, I take it as God telling me to keep my two cents to myself.

Browsing the net often brings us face to face with people who write explosive things, calling names etc. but if we get involved in it, we will be dragged into the quagmire of confrontations. Best thing is to keep away. That will give us peace.<br /><br />Net is for enjoyment, news and fruitful discussions by which we can sharpen our knowledge and skills.However sometimes, as you have written, we come across such nasty forums.<br /><br />Best wishes Joseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-59870263979961673742015-02-23T07:48:53.117-06:002015-02-23T07:48:53.117-06:00Ha!

I rarely comment during those times for the same reason - I don't want anyone to turn on me.
