Comments on Your Comments
While I may not be blogging as often as I should, when I do post I try to take the time to sort through my thoughts… Both of them… and put out a piece that people will enjoy reading. I like when people comment on my posts, good and bad. The only comments I won’t show are those that are personal, stupid, or just want me to post their comment because they have a website they want all of my readers…both of them…to visit it.
While not every post will be long and thought provoking they all have a certain degree of effort, thought, and purpose to them. This is my sounding board. A safe haven for me to voice my opinions, narratives, speculations, and observations. So, if you decide to comment on one of my posts from now on please follow the guidelines listed below or I will not be able to show your comment. The last comment I received, which was to my Internet Dating Piece was the delightfully eccentric ” water seeks its own level”. Simply amazing. What an incredible grasp of the obvious. The piece, as with many of my other pieces, was meant to be funny. While the saying, “there is a lot of truth in comedy” may be accurate it is not necessary to look for the truth in comedy is it? If you are one of those neersayers…you’re probably missing the point. Just take it for face value and try not to peel back the layers to find out what I am “really saying”. I’m not saying anything of any importance or dishing out life-changing hidden messages in my posts. If thats what you’re into than should go find it elsewhere. Life is not about dissecting every thought, spoken word, or action. If you are one of those types you will never see the beauty, comedy, or honesty in anything.
Guidelines for Comments
Spelling does count.
Short philosophical phrases that you read on the back of Highlights Magazine in your dentist’s waiting room and are now being regurgitated as your own comments will be trashed, ashes burned, and then dumped into a drinking water reservoir so that others can consume them and perhaps be as smart as you are some day. Any thoughts of your own?
If you know me personally than by all means comment…on the post…not me.
Take a moment. I took the time to post so you should take the time to wrap your mind around what I’m saying before you write a comment. You got to get it to get it. If you don’t get it…than forget it.
Three word comments don’t cut it. They totally suck. Hey that’s three words. Nevermind then.
