comment wrangling anonymous November 19 2010, 15:53:04 UTC

What do you do about bashing comments? Suppose you post meta. Suppose, for the sake of argument at least, that the meta is not itself wildly biased or bashing. And suppose the comments start turning into a character war. Do you freeze comments? Delete comments if they are OTT hateful? Simply state in replies that you don't appreciate character-bashing on your LJ and please to be having a civilized discussion? Defriend bashers and flock your meta?

This hasn't actually happened to me, but I've seen it happen, and I was reminded of it by the discussion of professional reviewers who aren't haters themselves but whose comment threads have the reputation of being bashing hotbeds.

Re: comment wrangling anonymous November 19 2010, 15:56:46 UTC

Depends on where it's posted. If it's in my journal, I will absolutely freeze bashing threads with a note that I appreciate the response, but bashing isn't allowed at my journal and a request for them to please refrain in the future.

I wouldn't delete comments, but I might screen them if they're laced with profanity or insults. I do defriend bashers. I don't have time for that sort of nonsense.

Re: comment wrangling anonymous November 19 2010, 17:25:33 UTC

Good question. I saw that some were saying they quit reading certain reviewers because they didn't control bashing in the comments. However, I have also seen reviewers accused of bias when they start deleting or editing comments, so there's no way to really win. Maureen Ryan probably has the best up-front, no-bashing, no wanking warning on her comment page. I've never noticed whether she deletes stuff or not.

I monitor anon comments on my LJ, but I'm such a non-controversial nobody that I've never had to delete or edit anyone.

I hate when an LJ gets mentioned on meme and then everyone with an opposing opinion goes over and dogpiles on it. If my friends want to shit on my opinion, fine, but anons out of the woodwork? No. I would shut that shit down.

da. I agree with that on personal journals, but will add that right should be revoked if people crosspost to public comms. If you're posting in public forums, then you invite debate and the possible criticism that goes with it.

If it's just a personal LJ post though, then IMO it shouldn't be mocked.

not your average beverage anonymous November 19 2010, 16:15:21 UTC

I have just finished a pot of vanilla infused black tea, with an intriguing smoky finish.

Resident Coke nonnie, are you here?

London Fog nonnie, my beloved, are you with us?

Is it just my imagination, or does meme have a greater proportion of tea rather than coffee drinkers than the population as a whole?

Re: not your average beverage anonymous November 19 2010, 16:18:03 UTC

I am drinking coffee RIGHT NOW!

My favorite brand is Maxwell House, French Roast. But I also love a good cup of Cinnamon Hazlenut from Valero. Gas station coffee FTW!

Re: not your average beverage anonymous November 19 2010, 16:18:55 UTC

Mmm, hard to say, I don't drink tea and I drink coffee by the bucket but new posts mostly seem to go up at night when I am done drinking coffee for the day.

Right now though, right now I'm drinking coffee. Mmmm, coffee.

Re: not your average beverage anonymous November 19 2010, 16:20:12 UTC

I'm a coffee drinker! Though I think meme might have more tea drinkers than coffee drinkers. Most of the American nonnies seem to go for soda and most of the British nonnies go for tea. Ah well, more coffee for me!

Though ironically today I made my own cocktail of diet Sprite, blueberry pomegranate juice, and a small dash of high quality raspberry syrup. It's exceedingly tasty, but I do wish I had some actual coffee.
