We are not talking about kids running hobby blogs here, we're talking about people running serious businesses who earn far more than the average wage doing so.
A blog is a 24/7 business. I was working on mine on Christmas Day (which in the UK is the equivalent to Thanksgiving in terms of how you should spend the day) plus every day whilst on vacation. I'm getting paid for it so people should get a decent level of service.
Meh, blogs die at the weekend. I'm a hobbyist so the few times I do post it tends to be on a weekend, but I would not care if my comment got stuck in a spam filter until the start of the work week.
I'm a Brit myself. If you choose to work Christmas Day, even Boxing Day, more fool you. Most reasonable people would forgive you for not being available. Maybe not the original complainant here - who as a long history of attacking bloggers - but anyone reasonable.
