How can they do this to me?!?

I know with what is happening in our neck of the woods right now this isn't important, but HOW? One of my favorite blogs that I check daily has gone private! I mean really what does it hurt if strangers watch your every move? I feel so rejected! She had trouble with anonymous comments that weren't so nice but can't you just block them? I really would like to get ahold of those people that have taken away my little pleasure of sneaking into someone else's life!
