There will always be a few idiots looking to offend, which is why I moderate comments on my blog - though thankfully most are positive or constructive in some way. And yes, inevitably the offensive ones come from 'Anon, for the obvious reasons that a gutless loner with no social skills (or life) would have for not leaving their real name. But don't let them rile you - it's not worth it.Dominic Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131405752512532599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-55377683295072346512011-12-11T15:10:24.084+00:002011-12-11T15:10:24.084+00:00I posted some time ago to ask for the old Jono bac...I posted some time ago to ask for the old Jono back on this website, the one who didn't take his twitching/birding quite so seriously. I keep meaning to post again to say that he's been back for a while now and the blog is even better than ever. Ignore your detractors, you're a highly entertaining birding blogger.

Like some of the above, I almost always look at your blog first, and sometimes even enjoy it. (That last bit was a joke - don't delete me please!). As long as you still enjoy it, keep writing this blog - there's plenty of us out here who enjoy reading it.<br />AlexAlex Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09997114031388696718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-67330296175958742642011-12-08T13:15:41.516+00:002011-12-08T13:15:41.516+00:00Jono.

Personally I love comments but there are some you can do without. Guess what they are always anonymous - I sometimes post as anon but always sign my name- thats cos blogger screws up sometimes.<br />I had a serial anon who was so nasty and tried to wind me up - fortunately I have enough birding friends who made me realise the other must have been jealous or twisted.So not worth worring about.<br />I feel sad when an interesting blogger stops due to rudeness and anon posters who hide behind<br />the cloak of mystery when they are just nasty individuals!<br />Blog on Jonathan plenty enjoy your blog!<br />CorinnaEagleseagleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516605991636426040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-64607091451377865362011-12-06T19:54:36.882+00:002011-12-06T19:54:36.882+00:00I wish now that I had kept the comment in question...I wish now that I had kept the comment in question, but for those of you who enquired, in summary it said "you're a t***". This may be indeed be the case in some people's eyes, however to add this as a comment on my own blog I felt overstepped the mark. My immediate thought wasn't actually "You swine", it was more along the lines of "Well, f*** you then". I put a lot of myself into this blog, and I do not deserve slagging off for it. Despite having no clue as to who my admirer is, they are not going to get any airtime on here. Whoever put the latest comment about me being master of the universe is spot on. It is only a small universe, but yes, I am. I also think Alan's point extremely valid, and if I get fed up with comment moderation, I may go down that route. Half of what is posted on the internet would never be said face to face, or eye to eye.Lord of Blog, Master of Universe, One with Passwordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054885544428581277.post-84403381613068849652011-12-06T14:02:58.278+00:002011-12-06T14:02:58.278+00:00Well, you've already got 6 comments, and they&...Well, you've already got 6 comments, and they've pretty much said all that I was going to, so here's a comment merely for commenting's sake.<br /><br />Keep it up.

Its the only way really. Dont let it get to you though, it will be somebody with a meldrew-esque streak mixed with a hint of jealousy.<br /><br />Keep up the blogging for as long as you enjoy it.
