I guess everyone has a different level of tolerance for some things. I just want to say that I think you have a great attitude! :) Thanks for letting us watch and learn!J.B.

I must recognize that I am moving in the right direction due to positive feedback. I must also recognize that I need to refine my approach so as to not offend.<br /><br />I am not averse to criticism and failures. The contain some very valuable lessons. Ultimate failure comes from failing to learn from these valuable experiences.Michael Lockridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748256055779697021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881581709717139159.post-35418367219601919002011-09-20T08:42:38.028-07:002011-09-20T08:42:38.028-07:00I really appreciate Karen's criticism and cand...I really appreciate Karen's criticism and candor, and returned to her site to state that fact. And, to apologize. My goal is to show some genuine appreciation for the blogs on which I post, and hopefully bring positive attention to my books.<br /><br />Alas, I even failed in my first point of communication. I was not bragging about being a spam maggot, but rather trying to show I was seeking to be better than the spam maggots.<br /><br />I am feeling rather maggoty, now. It is not a good feeling.Michael Lockridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748256055779697021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881581709717139159.post-40691277351610560802011-09-19T22:16:17.961-07:002011-09-19T22:16:17.961-07:00It's ironic, that before I delete the spam com...It's ironic, that before I delete the spam comment you left on my blog (and yes, I do consider it to be spam), I decide to check your link out and am totally blown away that you are bragging about being a "spam maggot". You've apparently failed to learn lesson 101 of what Social Networking. <br /><br />As a tip for you, if you had just left your comment, as generic as it was (points for not being in broken English), and not blatantly promoted your book, I would have come to your blog and had I then seen an advertisement for the book in your sidebar, something like "check out my new book", I most likely would have checked it out and potentially been a customer. But now I'm turned off by your spamming, and bragging about spamming, such that I won't give it a chance--one potential customer gone.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149047920744224387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881581709717139159.post-67024225884166896222011-09-17T18:59:12.617-07:002011-09-17T18:59:12.617-07:00Best wishes on your book you are not mentioning an...Best wishes on your book you are not mentioning and your non-spam adventures.
