For the record
I have just removed several comments from this blog because they simply did not belong here. A person was taking me to task for posting pictures while those pictures had not, in fact, been taken by me (I had given full credit where it was due--let that be understood).
My blog is not the place to rant at me about such things. Especially considering that the person--now banned from commenting on my blog--chose to spew his or her anger at me in the posts about the death of the Pope. I am a Catholic, I am in deep mouring over the loss of this man, and what do I see when I view my blog? There, beneath a photo of the Pope lying in state, someone screaming at me (with multiple exclamation marks and question marks) over something I posted on a Flickr group with the permission of the person who invited me to join that group in the first place.
This is all ridiculous, and does not belong in my blog, period. I'm a tolerant person, and I try to answer every negative or questioning comment, and have never yet resorted to deleting them let alone banning their author, but I am in mourning. Go yell at someone else. Meanwhile, can I please just get on with the business of crying my eyes out and saying my Rosary?
