		<description>Missing from the blogroll. Plus my Wordpress Dashboard lists all my links.  

In any case, I'm not bothered by it.  Just something to blog about.

Alienating people is not a problem, really. The ones who get it in the first place are not going to run.  The ones who do run probably weren't worth having around to begin with.</description>

		<description>I am new to whole linking thing... how do you know if someone has delinked you?  Does that mean they unsubscribed?  Or, had you been on their blogroll and got deleted?  Do you know who delinked you? 

I think I'd take it very hard if I got delinked- I don't know what that means, but I'm very sensitive... :)  I think you're taking it better than I would.  In my blog life it's a challenge to be honest and yet not alienate people... especially ones I want to have a relationship with in the future!   I've got one post up that I think I should take down... 

Anyway keep up the blog, I'm enjoying it!</description>

		<description>Here's the post I suspect to be of issue:  What Would You Do?  But I suppose all of my posts must be offense, or just I am, since my whole link was obliterated! Ha! LOL!

Now, granted I'm not 100% sure,but I think I'm pretty close. For all I know, the person could have become a serious prude overnight and ousted me for my occasional swear word. Understandable, I can be vulgar at times and I catch alot guff for that . 

But if it's not the swearing, then I don't understand it.  The link is not the point. This post is specifically aimed at inviting other people to express their own take on things and even to correct my errant nasty thoughts... hence the title "What Would You Do?"  Yes, it's somewhat sarcastic, but that's the fun of it. I guess I should just ditch the sarcasm?  Booooring!</description>

		<description>While I realize this is really none of my friggin business you have roused my curious nature. I know you are not mentioning any names, but I wonder, could you share with me the offending blog that you wrote? I am very much wanting to read what exactly you wrote about that birthed such controversy. 
Controversy is not always a bad thing btw, sometimes it what real conversations are made of.

		<description>Wow! don't sweat it. Some people have no idea what it means to blog. Don't they know that opinions create conversation? don't they know that conversation creates traffic? Isn't that the point of a blog? For crying out loud. They need to stop blogging if they can't handle it.</description>

		<description>Serious twist.  I think it's entertaining though.  At least I know that my writing is having some impact on someone!

The balance of mercy and truth is one with which I have struggled for years.  I suppose it's because I was never afforded much mercy when it comes to dealing with my own shortcomings, not in the convent and not now.  I guess I just wrongfully expect others to "suck it up" like I have had to or like they have made me themselves.

As far as not blogging honest yet destructive material - you should see the writings I don't post! Whew! And folks' lack of being honest with themselves - I think that may just be at the core of my delinking.

OH well. I'd rather be truthful than have one extra link.</description>

		<description>Woo - someone's panties got in a twist huh!?

There is nothing wrong with honest blogging.  I do like to mix mercy with truth though so sometimes I don't blog about stuff that although is honest, will hurt someone.  But despite that, there are still folks who can't be honest with themselves either so... what can you do eh?</description>
