I appreciate it more than you know! But really, there's no reason to feel bad for me. The nastiness I've experienced has been very minimal, especially in light of some other online situations I've heard of from bloggers and non-bloggers alike. This is just something I see as a growing issue as social media increases in use and familiarity. Thank you all so much for your feedback on the issue as well. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the importance of internet classiness! Thank you all so much for your kind and encouraging words! I appreciate it more than you know!

I agree that folks commenting in the blogosphere need to show common decency and courtesy toward the blog writer, as well as the store or manufacturer being discussed. There is always a way to voice your opinion without being nasty in your tone. And your blog is great and has great readers who keep the comments both honest and upbeat, in my opinion. I am shocked that anyone would make a disparaging comment against you or your blog. You are just a wonderful blogger, and I think your deal posts are honest and ethical, plus the tone and personality of your blog is winsome. As a fellow blogger (with a much smaller readership) I do not look forward to negative comments made by others about me or my blog, but realize as you do, that in life we will inevitably run into difficult people who disagree with what we share or what we do, and who will at times be abrasive and uncouth in their delivery. Thanks for your blog and all the work you pour into it to share with others the benefits and practical applications of frugal living!

I mean seriously, of all the things to attack somebody ab0ut, why pick a money-saving website?? What, do these people hate saving money? Are they personally offended by paying anything less than full price and getting free samples? What a bunch of freaks. Dana, keep doing what you're doing, and ignore all the pot-stirring haters out there. If there's anything I've learned from reading on-line forums, it's that some people are offended by ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, and others just like to cause trouble. Keep your chin up!! :) Wow, I can’t believe the nerve of some people! I mean seriously, of all the things to attack somebody ab0ut, why pick a money-saving website??

I COMPLETELY appreciate the work that you do on this blog. Because of your blog, I am able to save enough money to pay off debts and feed my family on a weekly basis. Please don't let negative comments discourage you. Remember...these people don't know you. You know who you are, your family knows who you are, and GOD knows who you are.

It is amazing that people feel the need to personally attack someone. I have no problem with people having differing opinions, but personal attacks are not necessary. This happened to us a couple weeks back and it was very difficult not to take it to heart. You are so right Dana, their are real people with feelings behind the blogs and so forth. .-= Renae´s last blog ..<a href="http://madamedeals.com/2009/12/08/snapfish-free-photo-flip-book/" rel="nofollow">Snapfish: Free Photo Flip Book</a> =-.

I look towards your blog for not just money saving tips, and great time savers, more important I look forward to the online community that you have helped create in the way of support through these hard financial times. Sometimes it's nice to have the delete button for those unfortunate emails. Thank you for all your time you put into your blog. What you do is very meaningful to my family!
