    Not one comment I made was hostile. Why so defensive?

    Irritated (and understandably so) does not mean defensive
    1) because trolling is a lame sport only practiced by those unable to stand up to someone in person.
    2) because we do not chose to waste time dealing with your crap.
    3) because we have acquaintances on here that we feel should not be bothered by you.

    pick one.

    and consider this: Would you allow someone to walk into the house/apartment/abode that you pay for, and treat you, your friend, your guests, and your family in a manner that you disagree with?

    I would not, and neither will AOM

    Rob said it pretty well. I know if you acted like you have here in my home then you would have been escorted out immediately.

    My wife has allowed some contentious debates on her digital porch at times. Like most blogs she has limits to what she allows in her comments section. You crossed the line and got the same treatment everyone else got when they crossed the line. Be civil or be deleted.

    Just like in real life if you don't like the company here LEAVE!

    Wow - they must have some life - keep checking back and waiting for comments to be opened back up to keep it going?! Really?

    I have no idea what the original comments were but get a life!

    Rob is absolutely correct. AoM doesn't deserve any crap - she's a pretty laid back person and obviously met her limit with you. Get over it.

    Y'all should go a little easy on "Anonymous." God knows how hard it must be for someone like him to attempt a civil conversation.

    I mean, if you spend most of your adult life down in the basement sorting pickle jars full of your own urine, you're bound to pick up a few quirks...

    Please let me know what line was crossed. I never insulted, argued, cursed. On the other hand, I have personally seen AOM and AOD both act extremely unprofessional at sporting events for youth children. The internet is no ones property and the blog is not AOM's property. Check to see who owns the servers. For not wasting time dealing with crap, you sure write alot.

    I have been following along here. I thought disagreeing/discussion was a liberty that I know I fought for in the Marines. Why have comments if everyone has to agree with you?

    Then stop hiding and say something to my face anon @10:17, or simply identify yourself. The behavior you speak of couldn't have been so bad if you failed to do or say anything about it. Though I suppose I shouldn't waste my time on you "sporting events for youth children". Is there another kind?
    This blog is her property. Everything written on here belongs to AoM. The servers hosting this site do not confer ownership of her blog to the owner(s) of the hardware.

    10:28 anon: Freedom of speech means the government can't restrict your speech, not an individual. Go back and read my first comment again. She has allowed debate and discussion and will allow it again. This is HER blog she controls the content on it, including the comments. She decides what she will allow and what gets deleted.

    Anon - "On the other hand, I have personally seen AOM and AOD both act extremely unprofessional at sporting events for youth children."

    Since you claim to know me, please tell me who you are so we can have a discussion face to face instead of hiding behind the anonymous comments. I'm also very interested to know what I have done that is "unprofessional" at a youth sporting event. I'm also curious what your role is in youth sports for you to judge this. There are many people who think they know the rules of the game, who don't. This ought to be good. But, please, if you know me, come forward and lets have a discussion.

    And, to the second anonymous blogger - thanks for your service. Yes, you have fought for freedom of speech. However, no one is allowed to go to someone's private property and spout off. People are here via my invitation. If I want to allow a discussion or debate, I will. If I don't want to hear it, I will turn off the comments. I can make the blog private if I want - that confers some sense of ownership, not to mention that I own this domain.

    Back to the first anon, whether you curse at me or not is beside the point. I felt you were insulting and rude and I don't want to hear it on my blog. If you were on my doorstep saying these rude things, I'd close the door on you. It is no different on my blog.

    I believe that all of you including AOM and AOD actually missed a valid point.
    It is a minor one, and is in addition to blog ownership, and domain ownership.
    When you enter a comment, it does not post immediately, and it even tells you why. That little phrase about post being approved by a moderator...... think about that one for a moment.
    The fact that AOM is the moderator, means that she IS in a position of authority. It is what it is. Like it, Love it or Leave it.
