I've been censored
Today I noticed, that a good friend of mine deleted one of my comments I made in her blog. I have no clue why. It wasn’t something bad. I wasn’t teasing her either. It was just a note about spending money for a fancy dress and some concerns about luggage limitations on airplanes. I can’t see any reason why someone would delete this comment. Is there an unwritten comment codex for blogs?

I think there is no comment codex. Or just about not using rude language! What I can't imagine you would ever do (at least not written).

there might be a codex about not deleting comments (without dingy content) just because the blogger doesn't share this point of view!

I already asked her. No mistake :(

A comment shouldn’t be below the belt!

Right, it was no mistake, that I´ve deleted your comment. I felt criticised, especially after you´ve criticised me also in your last email. I didn´t like the way you´ve expressed that.
I also don´t want to have a discussion about this topic in my blog, so I decided to delete your comment.
I´m sorry, but I hope you can accept my decision.

maybe you shouldn’t blog if you are afraid of people who doesn’t share your opinion. Maybe you are just too young and immature and should wait with blogging a few years.

Sarah titled you as a “good” friend, so it should be okay for her to tell you what she thinks without you being so winy! I guess many of us get emails from her, which not always share our opinion. I for myself really appreciate her point of view. It makes me think and see things different.
Maybe Sarah thinks you are better friends then you actually are.

even if sarah criticized you in an email. That had nothing to do with her comment.

maybe you shouldn’t post about a topic you don’t wanna have a discussion about!

anonymous I bet you are one of those who always just take what they want and doesn't care about others!
sarah sometimes criticizes me too and most times she's right.
It's always hard too say "I was wrong" but if you always choose the easy way you will never learn something!

I learned a lot from Sarah’s points of view.
I know, at first glance she is this little girl who likes Hello Kitty and loves pink (not every pink!), but she is so smart and mature that she always impresses me!

I would say anonymous broke the codex!

It´s interesting how some of you judge about me just on the base you know that I deleted one of Sarah´s comments and on the base of my comment here.
None of you know my original blog report, and none of you know Sarah´s original comment.
I only blogged a funny report about fitting on a crazy-looking, fancy dress. I could understand if somebody would like to discuss if the dress is crazy-looking or not. And sure, it would be a lot of fun having another point of view on that topic. But I don´t need to discuss my money in a blog. Even if I didn´t mention it myself. It wasn´t the topic of my blog. And actually it was only the dress. So that has nothing to do with sharing opinions.
After deleting Sarah´s comment, I wrote an email to her, so that she is not wondering. And I described why I did that. I also told her, that I really appreciate having her comments in my blog and she is welcome to go on commenting. I thought everything would be ok, if I tell her.
@ladybug: Maybe you are also not old enough for blogging, when you judge about other people that quickly.
But I guess you also can be nice, otherwise you wouldn´t be a friend of Sarah.

What was the dress for?
8/1/07 09:53
Buying a fancy dress leads directly to spending money, which makes a comment about money a valid connection and deleting that comment an inappropriate action.

Someone wise once said. Don’t be angry of someone telling the truth and even less angry of someone telling a lie.

Hey anonymous you aren’t very good in being criticized, are you? Again you reacted like a winy baby! Oh, how can we judge you. Well, you did something just because you don’t want to hear something else then you are super duper. Too bad you will never grow up though!
8/1/07 20:02
Anonymous, you just don't get it right? you made a mistake and you are not mature enough to accept that. even if the comment was about your money sarah didn't break the codex you did! Nobody says you had to reply that comment.

@ Jennifer: Actually, I was looking for a nice dress, because I´m invited to a wedding. When looking for that I saw this red velvet dress, which looked really funny. So I fitted it on just for fun and it looked like Little Red Riding Hood!! That was the story of the dress, which I didn´t buy and never wanted to buy.

@ Lily: Think whatever you want. Think I am a winy baby or that I will never grow up. With comments like that you are not reacting more grown up.
@ Lizy: Maybe I did the mistake about deleting Sarahs comment. But I didn´t know there is a codex about that. How shall I know it is a mistake?
I think if Sarah would have used another formulation for her comment, it would be completely different. But on that kind she wrote it, that was the kind I didn´t like.
Actually it doesn´t matter what I am telling here, because that is Sarahs blog and you as her friends can’t be objective in this case. Or maybe some of you can, but most of you wouldn´t bother to do so. And also none of you know the original words of Sarah´s and my blogging and commenting, that´s another reason you cannot be objective. I understand that in this case, but I hope you can be objective in real life.
