I had the oddest experience yesterday while exploring blogland and just had to share it.

But first, a question: when you all post comments on other people's blogs, do you go back later and read the other comments to see what other bloggers think about the article, or think about what you said? I do. I love reading comments; it's almost as much fun as reading the blogs themselves.

So anyway, there I was yesterday, reading, commenting, minding my own business. I go back to one blog that I commented on, a posting that had asked for suggestions/opinions and I had offered mine and I wanted to see what everyone else's opinions were on the subject.

And about four or five comments down from my comment was someone bashing my suggestion/opinion in their comment.

I felt like I'd been bitch-slapped or something.

It was the oddest thing! I'm sitting there, reading the comments and I'm like, WTF? I was just offering my opinion! And if anyone should be doing comment bashing it should be the person who wrote the article in the first place, right?

I thought this was bad manners on the part of the other commenter. But perhaps this kind of thing is the norm. I'm not sure. What do you think?
