I've noticed a lot of people apologize sometimes for not replying to comments people have made in their journals i.e. "I've been so bad at replying to comments lately, OMG!"

I usually don't feel guilty unless someone actually asked me a question. Then again, I'm the type to know people for a decade and not really know them, ya know?

I'm going to stop typing now and hope that at least some of you understand the question I've posed.

I think every comment I've ever gotten has been a reply to a comment I had made. I like to think I'd reply rather quickly if someone gave me a comment.

Was that due to my comment earlier? wink

No. I suck.

I think in general some of us who have board/group-whore tendencies are probably less diligent in our journal interactions than those who either lurk on the boards, or ignore them entirely.

Even with the people I know personally, such as the other Aussie members -- I interact far more often in the SGAU group than in journals, whereas most of them are constantly bouncing in and out of each other's blogs. (They haven't disowned me yet though.)

That said, I usually make some kind of effort to reply to coments left for me and I've been worse than usual these last few months. It's work-related stress mostly, nothing to go into here.

I hear you PRock. I'm really shitty at responding to comments, there are like 3 people on my friends list whom I try to reply to everytime. But most of the other people it's really hit and miss. I feel "sg bad" about it, sometimes.

If your popular or your set just came out and you have 513 comments then I wouldn't comment either, and if you don't have the time or interest so be it.
But if your on the boards alot and have time to frequently update your journal and THEN don't comment seems like you're being a little selective.

I make a point of replying to every comment, and then running the conversation into the ground. I don't know if that makes me a "good" replier or not.

but considering I haven't updated my journal in over a month, it's not exactly a tall order.

i really try to reply to everyone. i even try to make a point to say something to most of my friends' new journals, too. sometimes i fall behind and say fuck it, but - i try.

often to the detriment of my own jounrnal, which is almost three weeks old at this point. tongue

I hardly ever reply. Most of the time I just don't know what to say. But if I notice that someone comments in my journal on a regular basis, I will try and reply sometimes. I don't want them to think I am ignoring them.

I'm not sure. It probably depends on who you ask. If you leave a comment in my journal you will always get a reply. Eventually. Unless you go anon or grey. But it could take months. And I tend to reply to several comments at once with no attempt to put anything in context.

I am pretty sure I have replied to everyone who has ever left me a message. I feel if I didn't it would be a bit like if somebody came up to me on the street and said "Hi" and I just pretended they weren't there.

On the other hand though, I don't expect a reply all the time when I comment in a journal, especially when I am just making an observation. If I ask a question or something then yes, I would like one, but otherwise I don't get upset if I don't get a reply or anything.

I think I am a darn good replier and I also try to rotate my friend's list and catch up with people that I might not talk to very often.

Actually, that's what made me think of it, but I've been meaning to start this thread for a while.

Every now and then I just don't have the time or brain capacity to reply to some comments.

However, most of the time I reply to everyone, or at least a very large percentage..

And every now and then when I get a really ridiculous comment - of course, I just don't reply at all.

If you comment to me, I will comment to you. Guaranteed. I comment to lots of people, but I don't get a lot of comments back. I just had a journal about this. blush

i used to reply to every single comment, but i don't have the time or the internet access right now (i am on here a lot, but usually at work and so i'm only able to browse really, rather than fully participate and reply). I go through phases, i'm sure that once I'm living at home again in december i will become a full time internet addict again.

i would reply to everyone if i could smile
- although sometimes i don't think it's necessary. some comments i don't really think were left to be replied too. it's hard to think of what to say in response to an emoticon
