Sorry Tom, I didn’t approve it
Oct 5th, 2008 by justsimplyholly
I understand that when I make a post here on Just Simply Holly that whatever I write is out there for anyone with an internet connection to view and even comment on! I’m perfectly fine with that, as long as the people that comment here realize that approving a comment is completely at my discretion.
I recently wrote a post asking why kids are so hard on computers talking about how my daughter managed to kill the hard drive on a computer that I had owned for 3 years with no problems. I was a little surprised to find a comment from someone named Tom saying
sounds like your kid is surfing on stuff she shouldn’t be… those aren’t just normal occurrences… how long until she messes this one up? American kids are so spoiled.
Sorry to burst your bubble Tom, but she isn’t “surfing on stuff” she shouldn’t be because I actually have parental controls on both of my childrens computers preventing them from doing this. I also have keylogging programs that monitor everything they type on their computers. And I’m also very sorry to burst your bubble by telling you that she is in no way, shape or formed spoiled! It actually turned out to be a malfunction in the motherboard that caused the hard drive to crash.
Personally Tom, it sounds to me like you’re a bit on the uptight side, and are quick to place blame where it doesn’t belong. I’ve read online that a good colon cleanser might help alleviate some of the “things” that cause a person to be uptight and stressed out, so you may want to check into that. And I’m also very sorry to say that not only did I not approve your comment, I actually marked it as spam, so no future comments from you will even make it through for me to have to approve. Have a great day! 
OMG that’s hilarious! I’ll have to remember that next time I get a snarky commenter. LOL

Love the post, both in terms of good placement of a text link, and also replying to Tom’s comment.
Can I just wave the flag for a second on the subject of bad assumptions… did you retract your comment & apologise to your daughter re. (not) wrecking the hard drive? It seems only yesterday I get the blame for things that weren’t down to me
Finally, if you don’t mind me mentioning it, have you considered installing a ‘Subscribe To Comments’ type plugin? I think our very own Owen has written a good one…

Thanks guys! I got quite a laugh out of it as well! And I’m amazed at the snarky comments to this post that are now sitting in moderation. I guess people really don’t believe me when I say I won’t approve it, but nope, seriously, if you want to leave me a snarky comment making suggestions that really aren’t ANY of your business, I’m in no mood to deal with you so don’t bother coming back or trying to comment again, because those won’t be approved either. MY BLOG=MY RULES
OMG I am in stitches! Good one Holly - perfect! Thx 4 the laugh and I agree 100%.
Lara’s last blog post..Happy Monday!
Was my last comment snarky? I thought I said I liked this post, and had you considered using a subscibe to comments plugin? Apologies if it was somehow offensive.
