Hello Dear World.........
Recently I commented on a journal titled "Detached and Indifferent Expressions" and now looking back I shouldn't have. I really am thinking that I should not leave comments on anyone's journal from now on. I also feel like I might go ahead and not continue to write in my own AOL Journal.
To all of the wonderful people here at J-Land I have enjoyed reading your journals and I have appreciated your many, many kindnesses to me. Perhaps it is time for me to no longer share my thoughts and feelings as I have done. I really have gained new friends for which I am thankful but I am feeling that I no longer have a right to comment any further on anyone's journal.......
I really am sorry if I offended anyone I didn't mean to upset anyone. Perhaps it is time for me to say good bye........
To all of the visitors of my journal I appreciate you all and I wish you all the best.....If you don't hear from me know that I am still reading your writing but I am not commenting or saying things which might upset or offend........
With Appreciation I would like to say......Thank You All

love you southernmush =)
Do not be upset if a comment you made upset someone and do not get upset by other people saying things to you. So many people have left because of hurt feelings. We all make mistakes. I hope that you will not give up and I also wish you had told me in a private email as my entry today was to remember the fallen first and foremost, but I have not taken offence over it, just pointed it out to you.
There have been times when I have felt like giving it up but I know that I have real friends out there and I would miss them so much. Remember if anyone makes a nasty remark on your journal you can delete the comment and also block them from commenting again. So please have a rethink. I hope you decide to stay but will respect whatever you decide.
Please do not allow us who enjoy you to lose you because of one comment. Remember, you have as much right to make comments as anyone. All opinions are different and some might take something the wrong way. Don't beat up on yourself and dont let us down by not commenting.

I hate to see you give up your journal. I always enjoy reading the comments you leave in my journal and enjoy reading your journal also. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and A very Merry Christmas if you decide to not come back. Helen
I wouldn't jump to such a rash decision (now I am assuming it was rash which could be wrong) but whatever, I'm certain your intentions were not to hurt anyone. I've been guilty of hurting other people's feelings and have had my feelings hurt as well. It's part of life. We learn from our mistakes and we move on. Don't let one incident be the sole reason for leaving journaling. I think what I have found to be a better alternative to making a statement such as yours in the comment section is to perhaps write a personal email...that way, the writer can defend himself/herself without a community of people seeing your comment and jumping on the bandwagon against you. Memories are short here. Don't leave.

Please take a little time to think things over before leaving. I am not sure what your circumstances are...but it is rarely so bad that it can't be fixed. I dropped you an email I hope will be of some help. Be sure to let me know how you are this weekend and what you ultimately decide. You are so cared about and so appreciated.
Always, Carly
Please do not allow that person to do this to you. You are a kind person and I welcome ANY comment you have for me be it against or for what I have written. I enjoy reading your journal even if I do not comment regularly. You have every right to comment on other journals.
Please reconsider.
please reconsider....comments are what make the (journal) world go around.
Oh dear, you can`t leave us now, you have a good journal and have every right to comment on them too. Sometimes someone will take things the wrong way but that is their problem, not yours. Please do reconsider. :-)

Remember why you first started your journal. Really think about that time and reconsider. Please.
As a fan of the journal you mentioned above, I saw your comment and the others as well. Please understand that this was just a misunderstanding. It's difficult at times when you don't know if someone is serious or not. I myself had a run in with a person in her journal. She had asked for opinions on a matter and I gave her mine. I also said something about myself in relation to what she asked. Apparently, it wasn't what she wanted because she posted later that she didn't care about my situation. When commenting in someones journal, I always feel as if I should leave a part of myself. It's only fair when the journaler is telling you so much about themselves. Please don't give up something you love so dearly. Obviously, there are many people here who would miss you. I would love for you to visit my journal and I would love to read future entries in yours. Just take a few days off from it and move on. I decided my love for writing and venting was worth keeping it going. I'm sure this will pass and you will feel the same way.
Take Care
Karen
Reconsider, Please!

I've done the same thing with comments that did not exactly work :-/
Not the first time I've done something silly with comments. I always tell myself that I'll never make the same mistake of doing that again. Then it happens again when I'm dog tired and should not be typing. Mistakes happen.
Stick with it :-)
Being a reader of the afore mentioned journal, I think you may have just misunderstood Omz. HE really didn't mean any harm. HE is just playing, and being funny. He wishes all the winners only the best, and if you read him on a regular basis you would know that... :)
Please don't stop journaling. You have every right to comment in someones journal, be it good, bad or indifferent.
It may seem to some that he is going overboard, but he really is just having fun with his loss of a VIVI and the loss of others. They are all just playin' around.
Please don't stop journaling.. :)
You are welcome to come and visit mine, and I will put yours on alert also...
Reconsider.. please. It's not worth it, to stop doing something you enjoy because of a misunderstanding.. :)

I hope you decide not to stop writing your journal; maybe take a break from comments, but still explore J-Land; your entries are fun to read as you check out different blogs.

Hello,
Well if you do decide after all that you dont want to share your thoughts with everyone, I just want to let you know that your writing and thoughts will be missed greatly and I am ok with it. It's your journal and your own privacy and you can do anything you want to do.
and if you ever feel like making a new journal, let me know! I enjoy visiting it. : )
Thankyou for being a great JLand friend. I enjoyed talking to you Monae : ) and thank you for visiting my journal!
Sorry to hear that you will discontinue your journal. (May be youd like to keep your journal a private one)
and may be I will talk to you in the near future. Who knows!
Much love- Liz

-good bye my jland friend!
I don't know what you said and all, but we all say things that sometimes we regret...as I say if you were in the wrong, just say you were sorry, and if you weren't then there is no wrong in voicing what you feel....everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
