you can try to justify your sharing of other people's posts til the cows come home and it still isn't going to change anything. as we say in Texas, "that dog won't hunt"........

... members here are saying is that they don't WANT you to talk about their posts, include parts of their posts or share anything else pertaining to them in YOUR blog.

i am asking YOU what part of "leave me out of your blog" do you not understand?

you've made your point, over and over and over, about anyone can read this, etc. etc. etc....but that doesn't mean that the posters signed up here knowing that another member was going to take material from their postings and use it in her blog........

why is it so difficult for you to respect the poster's wishes? looks like a no brainer to me.

p.s. you repeatedly mention that you're being criticized for what you're doing, doesn't that say that you may be wrong in this? it's okay to be wrong. and it's okay to apologize for upsetting people unnecessarily.
