Caught in the act! I read your blog from time to time, but I don't comment. I'm not sure how to do comment/work the word verification, but here goes.
Pity that there are those who must put other people down in order to make themselves feel better.

P.S. I don't have a blog of my own, but I love reading yours.
Lurking happens. It is anonymous and does no harm. Only a small, small person would lurk and then gossip.

People with extraordinary minds talk about ideas. People with average minds talk about events. People with simple minds talk about other people.

Did something happen that spurred this? Lurking, is a common thing on the inter-web-er-net, but rarely does the gossip actually return to someone.
I love what Ted said!

Judaism considers gossip (known in Hebrew as lashon hara) as a sin. Speaking negatively about people, even if retelling true facts, counts as sinful, as it demeans the dignity of man — both the speaker and the subject of the gossip.

According to Wikipedia there are several types of "lurkers." In fact there are seven types of lurkers. I highly recommend using wikipedia for all needs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurker

To read someone else's blog without commenting is fine.
To read someone else's blog and leave a nice comment is divine.
To read someone else's blog and then use what was read to backbite with a third party is to feed an undernourished ego.
