These are just a few of the reasons: profanity, not using capitalization and punctuation, telling us to get a life, rude comments, religious debates, "me too" comments, overly excited and full of capital letters and exclamation points, calling people names and being rude to another poster.
Comments and prospective posts that discuss the show both pro and con are welcome and appreciated. Please just give them a once over to see that generally they follow normal grammar and spelling and add to the conversation. Too often we'll be reading a comment and just one sentence goes too far and gets it rejected. I also want to remind our gentle readers that we cannot edit comments. Our only choices are post and reject. So if there is one bit of bad in with a lot of good, it still will likely not go through. I do wish Blogger offered an edit feature.Thank you.
If you have questions about why a comment did not go through, please send the comment to one of the administators. We can not respond to you from comments sent through blogger.

Duggar Free Discussion November
Let's try a monthly thread for Duggar items that don't fit with the episodes or major new articles. Please use this for Duggar sightings, speculation, or general discussion. Note that this is Duggar discussion not other families, TV shows, or personal stories.
Let's Talk About It
As you can tell if you've been getting comments rejected or read my earlier post, moderating here as been getting more and more frustrating. I'm not sure why things are taking the turn that they are, but it makes it a less pleasant blog for all I believe.
This came in as a comment. As a comment, it was rejected. It's boards on boards, off topic, and all that kind of thing. However, as a discussion topic so that maybe we can help each other find a way to communicate that we may dislike or disagree with something the Duggars do without being jumped on or lectured and conversely we might like or approve of something that they do without be jumped on or lectured, it might be a good idea. Here we go as a trial to discuss discussing the Duggars if you wish.
I hate that the blogging here has such blatant division. There are 3 or 4 bloggers that can't do anything but defend the Duggars. Obviously most posters here like, or are at least intrigued by, the Duggars, so I don't understand why people get so defensive. It has turned into some kind of weird pro-Duggar movement... it's not that we don't respect or like the family, but it is OKAY to question and try to learn. It is OKAY to say that maybe they don't have everything perfect. It's a discussion blog, and I often feel the responses are a bit lecture-y. I just think there are some who feel that they must defend the Duggars every move or statement... people make mistakes, Duggars included. It's such a turn-off to ask a question and get an answer that sounds like its encouraging us all to drink the Kool-aid.

Sorry to be the downer
I've noticed more friction between the posters recently and more rejected comments. If your comment doesn't go through, please consult our guidelines or see if you are being less than pleasant to others, lecturing, off topic, or discussing the blog or other commenters. Thank you!
Note: for those sending in the judgemental comments. Please be aware that in accusing someone else of being judgemental, you yourself are making a judgement against them. That qualifies as boards on boards also and is not allowed.

Is It Time for the Duggars to Get Away from TLC
Has the time arrived for the Duggars to run before they become "Gosselinized?" Is it already too late or do they yet retain themselves?
Things I've found worrisome:
Going to Kleinfeld to what appeared to me put on the country hayseed act for TLC.
More trips than usual.
Changes in clothing (maybe for the better though)
Michelle and the girls and the product placements (doing the required commercials)
Jon Gosselin said it was like living in a storybook for four years. Are the Duggars becoming or have they become a storybook?

May I add ugh, copying previous story lines from other shows is not a good idea, IMO.
