I would never leave a negative comment on anyones blog - neither would I undermine the fact that they were the recipient of an award - you have decided that you wouldn't receive or give a blog award but this does not give you the right to undermine any recipient or giver of an award. It is the only way we can show an added appreciation of someones support or to show we appreciate their talent.<br /><br />Everyone is entitled to their opinion - but please do not try and enforce your opinion on someone else - if they are happy to receive and give accolades in any shape or form - so be it.<br /><br />A both a giver and receiver of a couple of awards - which I truley appreciated - you do not know how receiving an award can boost someone - for whatever reason - recovering from an illness, being self concious and self critical, bullied in a previous era or undermined in other parts of their life.<br /><br />Live and let live - each to their own!<br /><br />PaulaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294286444278595836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495582357459044083.post-6165725782148446012010-01-22T12:26:37.564+01:002010-01-22T12:26:37.564+01:00I agree completely!I agree completely!Mihaelahttp://abeeautifulday.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495582357459044083.post-30989705387620168182009-04-13T07:12:00.000+02:002009-04-13T07:12:00.000+02:00Well said!

I think they originally started with good intentions but now they are just everywhere and frankly mean nothing to me. As another commenter said, it's a way to increase blog traffic.<BR/><BR/>I have developed some wonderful relationships with many women through my blog and I cherish them. My mom used to meet with the other moms on the block for coffee every morning but now with women working, we miss out on this "neighborly Chat". That is how I view my blog.
