DISQUS

This past month has taught me some very valuable lessons, the big one= like attracts like.

I really like your new stance here, to focus on what is good in the blogosphere. I'm definitely going to take a page out of that book.

I'm glad you've decided to continue onward.

Scobleizer your male voice of reason in this very important conversation is such a comfort. As a woman blogger who focuses on issues of societal violence, i have experienced outrageous personal attacks that have at times spilled off my blog into other digital arena's I enjoy and even to my front door.

I totally get why Kathy is freaked.

But back to you. When I first discovered blogging about 4 years ago it was through the Scobleizer blog and other articles scattered around with your by line. I found Google, Blogger, myspace and wordpress. Love love love.

I am thrilled that you are so supportive of the whole blogging experience and your constant support of all things good in the "sphere", and I agree we need this conversation about how to combat this type of cyber terrorism against women (in general) and specifically with regards to writers, bloggers and other progressive female icons.

I'm tired of complaining, I'm looking for solutions.

Sign me up!

Sincerely

I wish I wish I wish, I used your list of five!
