This is a HUGE hot button issue for personal finance blog readers (apparently) as both of them got a lot of slack over the blog-o-sphere for buying new cars.<br /><br />I think this is part of the problem of getting your blog too big - the bigger it is the more criticism you're going to receive for every single purchase. I've even read some posts by other bloggers who are now afraid to post the things they've purchased because of getting blasted like Krystal did. And I think that is also the wrong approach. You shouldn't be afraid to talk about your personal purchases - just understand that not everyone is going to agree with you 100% of the time.<br /><br />Anyway, disagreements will happen. It is inevitable - even (especially) on the internet. Well, the "problem" for Krystal and also for Trent over at Simple Dollar is purchasing a new car.

People don't seem to want to listen to alternate viewpoints.<br /><br />Our "leaders" don't help as many of them specialize in this type of speech. There's a reason manners was so important in the past, it kept us civil. You're not imagining it; there is a lot more hostility and hate in the air.

Quite a bit in the blogosphere too, or in other places too where one can remain anonymous. <br /><br />Kinda makes me think of road rage, where you're behind your tinted windows, blasting your horn, giving the bird. I'm guessing you guys experience it in America too? <br /><br />It's great that people are free to express their opinions, but you have to ask 'are their opinions valid?'<br /><br />Oh yeah.. what is 'snuggie' too?<br /><br />And is their too much hostility in society today... well that's a tough question. For us younger generation, how can we answer it? What did society used to be like? Ninja, of course there's hostility in society today.

I would not want to devote time to sifting through that kind of garbage (hostile comments.) I hope I never have to, and my game plan is: 1. Never trying to get my blog extremely popular (that's an OK thing to do but it requires more management), 2. Not accepting totally anonymous comments (although anyone can register with blogger so that's essentially anonymous anyway, and 3. If someone leaves a nastygram or says something that is obviously not meant to be even remotely helpful or decent, I just delete it. Wowee – I just took a look and – wow.
