Thanks for your comment Monica!
By the way, this was Monica's latest response. I do actually respect the opinions of fellow blogger's and will take her critisism to heart.
"Shelley...it's rude. Not just rude to me...but rude period. You did it once when you first commented over a month ago on my blog and I said the same thing then. I'm sorry...but it's rude and it is a particular pet peeve of mine. Put your information in the URL section and folks will click on your name and be able to get to your site.
It's very simple.
I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt but hey...you got the same response EVERYONE who has ever done that on my site received AND...you've received the response TWICE. I'm equal opportunity."
In my own defense, I normally don't look to see if I've got a response to a comment I've left, so the 1st time I commented on her blog I never knew I got a response from it. Now that I know better, I'll do better.

Speaking of High Horse.....
Well, I guess Monica didn't like my response (see post below regarding Blog Etiquette), and this is what she had to say this time:
"@Shelley: I don't need you to promote my site. LET ME REPEAT...I DON'T NEED YOU TO PROMOTE MY SITE. It is well known THROUGHOUT blogland that this is some rude shit to do and whenever it's done on THIS site...the culprit is called out. Why? Because I can. You put your URL in the section that says URL and if folks click on your name then they will go to your site. Simple. Why in the WORLD would you think it's cool if you had to type it out twice and as far as you having your lil funky azz come to Jesus over here...child please...go sit your azz down somewhere hell. Everyone here knows who I am and your new blueness ain't changing that. Come back if you want to...don't if you don't. Simple. Monica Mingo(Folks think too highly of themselves bruh...really...)"
WHAT? Can someone tell me what the hell she's talking about?
I am truly surprised at how something so simple can jolt someone into a response like that.

Blog Etiquette
As being a relatively new blogger (only a few months), can someone tell me the proper etiquette for leaving comments on someone else's blog? I recently left a comment on a fellow blogger's blog and in the comment, I placed my own blog address so that others could view my blog.
Well, this is the response I got. "***EDITED BY SIP WHOSE PET PEEVE IS STILL PEOPLE WE DON'T KNOW ADVERTISING THEIR DAMN SITE IN A COMMENT BEING ALL RUDE AND ISH." Is what I did considered rude? I'm really curious to find out, because I did not think that it was. If so, then so be it, I'll have to conform to proper Blog Etiquette from now on.
Anyway, this was my response, and also, I'm curious to know if this was out of line. "Hmm, I had no idea stating your own blog address in a comment was a bad thing. Isn't that how we all connect with people? It was not my intent to be rude in any way but it is a good way to get me to not promote your blog going forward. I really enjoyed reading to see what you had to say, and it was by word of mouth that I even found out about your site. I'm really surprised by your response. But as Maya Angelou says, "When someone shows you who you truly are, believe them the first time"."
So, needless to say, I won't be visiting her site again and further more, I definitely wont be promoting her blog in the future. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who wants to promote their own blog on my blog, GO FOR IT!!! Get the word out there, let people know what you have to say. I'm not in any way threatened by it. Just like I said in my response to my fellow blogger, isn't that the way we all connect with each other? Isn't that the beauty of blogging?
