Commentary

Hi there, Lurkers. Time to say "hello, Stupid!"

Of all the things you could say about me, "shy" is definitely not on the list. And I am not shy about liking interaction on a Blog, that's for sure.

I have been getting emails telling me that people can't comment on this Blog, and I'm not sure why. I like comments, and I won't lie. Hey, it's half the fun, so...

If you come here and read, why not give commenting a shot? I'd love to hear from you. If you like what I say, agree or disagree, hate what I say, please let me know. I'm not 100% sure why this Blog isn't taking comments. I'll just offer some quick tips here if you're having a problem.

Down at the bottom of every entry, you should see this:

Click on that.

Then you should see this:

1. Enter whatever comment you'd like, then 2.if you don't have a Blogger account, you can still comment without passing any information along to anyone.You just click the "ANONYMOUS" button

3.After you check the Anonymous button the screen will look a little different...that's fine. It'll work.

4. Then just click the "PUBLISH" button, and your comment will be added.

I'd really love to hear from you on here. I like what other people have to say, and it's not only to say you agree, or like what I put here. If you don't like the blog, or disagree, I don't mind hearing that, too.

And if you're just a "lurker", it's always nice to hear from someone, so, Lurkers, today is the day!

Hope this helps. It gets lonely in here sometimes.

Comment Commentary 2

I love when I hit the "message boards" or "forums" on the net. Typically, you'll have an article, and then the invitation to add commentary, opinion, etc. Usually, by the time you scan through to the last comment, the discussion has spiraled downward to the point that the "commentary" has absolutely nothing to do with the original article.

Typically, you'll see visits from the following characters:

• Beautifully Unaware- this person has posted something, and you'd swear they meant to comment somewhere else, because there is nothing remotely connected to the content of the article in their comment. They should leave their address so that others can mail them a clue.
• Zealot- these folks are the best. They will introduce religion into any discussion there is on the web. Scan through forums and boards...you're guaranteed to find at least once. One major characteristic of the Zealot is that they usually post the most hateful drivel, all under the guise of religion.
• 28 Time Loser- 28 years to get out of grammar school, and they still can't compose a complete, grammatically correct sentence. Reading their comments can actually be painful to anyone with an IQ above 9
• Sorry Idiot- this type you just can't help. They make the most inane comments in that they either didn't read the article at all, or they left their mind in the previous century. For example: I once read a story by a woman who described waking up in her apartment, realizing it was on fire, and barely escaping with her life. She noted that she had to flee into the night, clad only in her flannel pajamas. The SI left the following comment: "Ooh, I love flannel pajamas". 'Nuff said.
• Lifer- no, not "Right To Lifer", LIFER. I call them that because there are millions and millions of 'em out there. Go to any message board and scan the comments. You will find at least one instance of someone telling anyone who doesn't agree with his point of view to "get a life". They write it, sign off, and go eat Twinkies.

and of course, no discussion would be complete without mentioning The Pontificator.

• This person scans the responses of others, looking for even the most mundane error, so that they can jump all over someone else's mistake, and drone on and on, just because they happened to catch the right information on Entertainment Tonight. OK so you're an expert on Angelina Jolie's eating habits. Pin a medal on your ass and shaddap.

Oh and speaking of painful... I found this gem of a comment tonight. Read it and weep
