      obviously, he doesn't I want to hear it from him that he knows Im the princess, not his friend Siralmo. Why doesn't he actually acknowledge my existence...he is the one being mean...

   yeah, it really depends on what they say. To my regular readers, I almost always reply back, and to new readers I try to reply back, but sometimes if they reply on a post thats months old then I don't bother, the convo was over a long time ago..

    ArsenicCookies

    I always try to. There is one person who comments me quite frequently that I do not comment back to, mostly because I disagree with everything he blogs about and cannot for the life of me find anything neutral to say. It's not like little things either, they are major issues that we do not see eye to eye on and I haven't a clue why he reads my blog since it is the complete opposite of his

    I don't care if it's someone I've never heard of before or someone a little more talkative on the discussion boards. If they make me laugh or inspire a reaction, they get a response.

    legbamel

    On my blogs? Most of the time, if there's something more to say than, "Thanks." But I don't automatically go to someone's blog and leave a comment on theirs, if that's what you're asking. I'll often click the link, but I won't do "tit for tat" with comments. I only leave one if I've got something to say.

       Depends on whether or not you give them the option. Some blogs will allow you to check a box to do it. Mine doesn't.
       
       But to answer the original question- yes, I always reply. Blogging is a social experience.

    I always reply to the comments on my site and visit the site of a new commenter. If I have something to contribute, I will leave a comment on their site too.

    All depends on whether I can be arsed or not. Most of the time, I don't although that's because my standard week is made up of tiring night shifts, alcohol, video games and generic procrastination.
    
    So when I'm not stupidly busy with all that, I'll usually post something on my page and when I can be bothered, I'll check out whatever my friends have posted. That's pretty much the gist of it.

    Arcticulates

    I try too! At first I didn't because I wasn't sure how, but now I have worked out a system. It works great, and I enjoy the comments that people leave and I want to acknowledge that they took the time to comment.
    
    Some don't have web-pages or blogs so I just make sure I answer them, and I also try to visit every one's blogs or web-pages too.

    I usually take a look at the blogs of people who comment on mine. Then, if there's a comment I want to make I make it, as I would with any blog. I never leaves comments out of a sense of obligation, and I hope nobody does that on my blog.

    If a person takes the time to comment on one of my posts I try to post a thank you and if they have a blog I visit it.
    
    Usually those making a comment have found the post of benefit so it is important for me to acknowledge that I read their comment. I especially want to reply to a negative comment because I think it is important to acknowledge and thank them as well.

    Instead of a comment I would rather create a blogpost on my blog and link back to the blogpost about which I am going to comment. That way my reaction to the blogpost is registered and the bloke gets a free link.

    I love commenting back and see what they have to say. Even if it's a topic not in the scope of my interests, I always comment. And no, I don't just comment "Nice blog, I enjoyed it!" I always add something meaningful. I don't comment if the blog is about a month old LOL.

    HelloAnnie

    If you mean respond to their comment? Yes.
    
    If you mean comment back on their website? It all depends. I reciprocate when there is a post that I can comment, bookmark or share with my social network.

    JaneTurley

    Always. I think it pretty rude if you don't - unless it's something that obviously doesn't require an answer. I find having conversations and getting to know regular commentators is great fun. If it's a new commentator I will reciprocate on their blog with a comment in the first instance but after that I only comment when I have something I wish to say about one of their posts.
