Problems with blogging 2

Well I have really been impressed by this blogging site and have begun to upload various ideas and it is beginning to take some shape . I have also looked at other blogs and found some very good sites worth visiting: 'Signs of the times' being one of them( had I known better I would have given a direct link, we live and learn).
I am still having problems with uploading images , I am not sure if it is purely my incompetence or whether there is some kind of malfunction of the server , after all I did , after an hour's painstaking effort to upload a picture , receive a message stating :' apologies , cannot upload image'.



I have also been really moved by the fact that some folks out there have actually been reading the blog : This has become a mixed blessing though . The real problem with blogging I have realised is that some comments are not very complimentary .
Although there is an option of monitoring one's messages and deciding whether to publish them on the blog or not , I have decided to to allow freedom of speech as a matter of principle.

So far I have had about three comments on the blog , an individual who calls himself Leo has become my most dedicated reader( greetings Leo!). First he advised me to give my computer to a child as 'they have more brains'He didn't like the comments I have logged , he states he has ' fought three wars for cowardly anti war people' like me,in addition to the posts you can read here from Leo he has been e-mailing me in private with threats and language I don't want to repeat. I have counter attacked by posting on his blog and offering him to debate the issues , which he has declined .

I originally described some of the problems I have had with blogging in hope that I would get constructive advice, not knowing that there are other problems with blogging .

So this individual who has the the bravery to fight three wars for me did not like me to express my views on Condoleeza Rice , secretary of state of the U.S.A coming to the country that I live in . I guess 'Leo' and people of his opinion would argue that they fought so that I could have the freedom to express my view whilst at the same time telling me that I am not worthy of being alive thereby advocating the anihilation of people that think differently to himself ,ironically in collusion with what he believes are the ideas of those whom he allegedly liberated me from. There really is a meaninglessness in some peoples' lives :I guess problems with blogging doesn't help.

Brainlessness (Dedicated to Leo)

Donald the dunce was told by his school teacher, Mr Leo to write: one plus one equals two , a hundred times.

The next morning Mr Leo asked Donald whether the exercise had helped him remember the answer to the problem.
"No." replied Donald,"I'm still not convinced ". Donald then produced a lump of clay in each hand and stuck the pieces togeher .
"How many did I have to start with ?" Donald asked Mr Leo.
"Two"
"And by adding them together , how many am I left with ?"
"One"replied Mr Leo.
"Exactly!"said Donald the Dunce as Mr Leo proceeded to wear the Dunce's hat.
