Nice post – however you are writing a column and once your column is public it is no longer yours – but the people who read it – funny bloggers believe that what they put in public they still own – if you are truly building a brand – and you are…hmmm let’s try this again – whatever subject whatever opinion you write is your baby, you put shape and mold it – then you put out in public to help shape the minds of those coming into contact with your writings. Let it go – if someone gives you a comment you particularly don’t like – it really is a learning process for you as well – they have processed your information based on what is in the media, their experiences and the tone of other comments.

But then again – it is just my humble opinion.

This is a great communication strategy. It’s not only important to use when writing blogs, but in any form of written and oral communication. It allows the respondent to hear the information and not become extremely defensive. More people should practice this communication strategy more often.

Thanks!

One of the negatives of the internet is people feeling safer behind a monitor to spout off rude and insensitive comments. They wouldn’t dare make the same comment if they were face to face with the author or even on the phone with them.

People who leave vitriolic comments do not think of the consequences of the bridge they just burned and in most cases don’t really care.

I like the sandwich approach. It’s a technique I use with my clients.

This is an effective technique. I use it often myself.

I love this analogy!

Very clever. I sometimes– in the heat of the moment– will leave a vitriolic comment and later regret it, so thanks for the reminder.
