I don't, Michael. Tit for tat is not my style for anything in life. I comment where I have something to say and over time it all evens out. And, of course, I appreciate everyone's comments on my posts and always answer their comments.

No, but there are the trolls out there that love to start a fight. I love the post that asks a heated question - then if you are for or against - bashes you depending on the writers view.

No, in fact I'm very random and genuine in my decisions. I answer, read and comment on the subject matter that grabs my attention each morning. I do have my favorites Michael Thornton (shhh), basically because they are consistently intelligent,  interesting and, or positive, but I"ll read provocative opinions a lot too. I don't follow folks just because they follow me and I don't check to see if those I follow, are following me. 

Also, as George Carlin famously quipped, "what's a tat?"

Jim Rohn said "if you are going to read a book about Gandhi, you have to read a book about Hitler to understand the whole picture" It's not just all Pollyanna. There's a Yin/Yang to AR too.

For me it isn't a tit for tat. I return comments to those that left a comment on my post. I consider that polite. Although when I have time, I will comment on other posts if the title interests me. It doesn't matter if that person will ever comment on my posts.
