LOL, that's hysterical.

Did you text "Thank you" back?

NO FREAKING WAY.  oh my god.  That should definitely be embroidered on a pillow.

Rofl. From now on I'll embroider all my best text messages on a pillow.

The commenting policy on TMI Weekly as well as other Next New Networks' shows is that we encourage people to contribute to the conversation, as long as the comments are constructive and related to topic. If you don't agree with the topic, feel free to comment and let us know your opinion and how we can make the show better. We will not tolerate any profanity or personal attacks. Please keep the comments relating to the show topics. Thanks.

So which is it? 

A. "keep the comments relating to the show topics" 

B. "If you don't agree with the topic, feel free to comment and let us know your opinion" 

You are contradicting yourself.

Kasey,
What we mean is that if you disagree with something on the show, we want to know why i.e. you think it's ok to misspell texts or you don't even like texting at all! The comments that get removed are of nothing relating to the show or context of the topic and/or contain personal attacks / profanity. We remove these because they are of no value to the episode. Therefore it is possible to disagree with their personal opinion on the specific topic yet keeping your answer still relating to the episode.

"Therefore it is possible to disagree with their personal opinion on the specific topic yet keeping your answer still relating to the episode." 

Could you please be a little clearer in explaining yourself? This sentence makes no sense at all!

Why are you being so difficult? It's obvious what the moderators are trying to say.

FOR EXAMPLE:
If the episode is about why you should incorporate juicing into your diet

You may disagree and comment about how you think juice is gross and not healthy for you at all. 

THAT is still topical. Commenting negatively on their appearance or referencing their personal blogs is NOT.

You should be banned, you have nothing constructive to say at all.

Why should she (or anyone, for that matter) be banned for asking questions?  It's a little ridiculous for anyone to start a business and expect criticism to be banished, ignored or deleted. People reference personal blogs because sometimes things said in TMI episodes (the "product") contradict stances "made" by the very hosts (via their very accessible personal blogs - which ARE connected to TMI since it came AFTER Nonsociety, which is nothing more than a mashup of said PERSONAL blogs), or the general product in and of itself isn't satisfying. There are no forums to air grievances and emails related to the issue apparently aren't responded to - so what else are people to do? It's their FANS giving constructive criticism, so the fact that they're willing to either remove it entirely or make corrections without acknowledging where they were wrong in the first place and WHY (the upset reader) such changes came about speaks volumes.  People will comment where they know their words will be seen, even if not acknowledged. As their "fans" have noticed they don't respond to emails but are quick to put up excuses/defenses or delete concerned posts, they found a new area to express what they're feeling. How can a business be successful if you want to build community/a following while ignoring the very people you want to attract?

Seriously, changing policies isn't the solution when the real problem is the many issues within the organization itself. You cannot expect to create something of this nature while refusing to take responsibility for what you put out there and address the problems your "viewers" (who eventually in this case, you would hope, will love you enough to secure your living expenses through their loyalty) have with things the way they are. Even less so if you want to make money/a living out of it.

My comment was topical and did not have profanity or personal attacks. It was about standards for spelling in texts vs. blog posts. Why was it deleted then, accoding to your policy? Or is the policy that all critical comemnts are deleted, even if topical and polite, as that seems to be what was followed when it came to my comment. 

If you are not going to allow anything but praise please spell that out clearly in your moderation policy (which really should be posted permanently above the comment box.) Don't let people waste their time thinking their voice will be heard only to have their comments deleted for no pre-explained reason.

Yeah it is also not mature to constantly bombard sites you do not like to argue with moderaters or viewers about nothing.

I don't moderate the comments, but I think it's obvious from past episodes that they allow plenty of criticism about the topic and us.

You are all regulars here, so you should understand the policy by now.

We are trying to cultivate a forum where people can discuss the topic at hand.  If you have comments about us personally, we want to hear them too.  But at least attempt to be constructive.  It's not easy to put ourselves "out there."

I ask this in all sincerity: Mary if it's so hard to put yourself "out there" then why do you do it? What is the ultimate goal or outcome of you participating in this venture? Have the benefits outweighed the setbacks? Ultimately, what do you hope to gain or accomplish?
