I don't normally do this but I'm very upset right now and MUST vent!  I have a question to ask...when you join blog hops are you not asking for followers? Whenever I join one, I'm asking for followers and when they follow me, I GLADLY follow back.  I don't ask for comments in addition to your "I'm following" comment.  I don't mind a simple I'm following and would like a follow back.  I guess that is just me.  With that said, I came across a blog hop that I joined.  I went down the list and followed a few random blogs and asked that they follow back..normal routine, right?  Ok, I got a very rude response to my usual happy and upbeat "I'm following" comment and was replied with "Make a few decent comments & I’ll think about it "  I was very offended by that reply even though there was a "wink" at the end.  Should I not have been?  The blogger did the same thing to a couple of other people as well.  I do not understand the need to be rude.  I'm not a rude person, it's just not in my nature, but that really ticked me off and I felt the need to respond to her comment.  Needless to say, I'm no longer following that blogger.  I'm just curious as to how others feel about that.  Am I in the wrong?   Thanks for reading!  Comments are much appreciated!
