I don't know what got me started thinking about this, but...
I have a few questions of aaaanybody who'd care to answer 'em.
Be anonymous if you need to.
The implied reason was that it's because I don't have massive flame wars going on, nor do I waste my time with politics (usually), therefore don't have much going on that can easily be commented on. Okay. Any other reasons? Inane and benumbing content is an understandable reason... except for ooonnneee lil thing... I see even more inane and mind-numbing content daily that garners multiple comments, also on a daily basis. Are these people submitting comments to their own posts or something?
I mean, I have personally SEEN one dipshit literally do that before... Is that what's going on? Oooorrrr... Am I scary or something?
Even if I were exactly like Rob (which, in my opinion, I'm nowhere near good enough to ever be), he, being scarier than me, got two bazillion comments a day, too. (But, at least what he wrote wasn't so fuckin' boring it made your teeth ache.) Is that it?
Is it too mundane to be commented on? Like, if I were in a room with y'all and said outloud what I write, aside from calling the authorities, wouldn't y'all say something? And, if you would then, what happens when you read it instead of hearing it?
Does it just hurt your brain so much it makes typing impossible? Or, do my posts take so long y'all forget how to type by the end? I do envision people falling asleep facedown on their keyboards when I see the actual length of some of my posts... This doesn't really bother me too much.
Hell, I'd write even if I never got another comment.
I'm perfectly happy talkin' to myself.
(Just ask Paul. If he kept my messages over the years, I swear he could turn them into a comedy book...) But... sometimes the silence does get almost deafening.
(And, only "almost" thanks to Mad Wm. and Viz and a coupla others.) That's when it hits me that I've never even had any real problem with trolls and I can't decide if that's 100% great or just a little disturbing. Not that I want trolls, mind you (but they are fun to play with). But, if even they keep quiet, ya kinda wonder if it's because they're in awe of your fisking powers and overwhelming personality or you're just beyond boring, maybe.
(I tend toward the former philosophy, as opposed to the latter, by the way...) Anyhoo... any enlightenment anyone would care to shed on this will be appreciated. Thank you, thankyouver'much...

Hi Stevie, Just some simple words of encouragement - I'm really caught up in the magic of your writing and am a devoted fan for some of the very reasons that you mention...no flamewars, or regular politics, or affected posturing on topics that some bloggers seem to rant and rave about way too much. I've checked out other blogs from time to time and I'm familiar with lots of the good (and not so good) folks out there, but there is something very special about your perceptions of life and your world as expressed through your writing - a deep, honest sincerity and genuine spirit that I have rarely found anywhere else (and you have a fantastic sense of humor- you have made me laugh a lot with your play on words and well crafted comments on some of the crazier aspects of life.) Like Rob, you have your own beautifully unique style with elements of great writers like Faulkner, Mencken, and Joyce. Above all, you write about real life from the heart....not what you think others might want to read!
Don't ever worry about being too mundane or scary...you're neither by a long shot and don't worry about folks not posting a lot on a regular basis...I fear we are fast becoming a nation of impatient speed demons...many who will barely stop long enough to read a great post just don't have the presence of mind to slow down just for a second to take the time to comment...everybody seems intent anymore to just dart around like dragonflies on a summer evening, grabbing blindly at what they can, but allowing no time to alight for long and enjoy the moment. Too many people turn away from the brightness of a beautiful dawn ;>) because they are in a hurry to move on and they miss the spectacular show of the rising sun. Remember the words posted on the sidebar of one of the worlds best blogs-
"Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who matter don't mind,
and those who mind don't matter"

First thing's first: "Once you start compromising your thoughts, you're a candidate for mediocrity,". Neil Simon. (Biloxi Blues. Check it out.)
Add to that that I agree wholeheartedly with vis.
BUT
"Or, do my posts take so long y'all forget how to type by the end?"
Uhm.. sweety?... Love ya. Too many topics per post for me. By the time I've read all the way through, any comment I had about the first bit doesn't seem so relevant any more.
But don't change the way you write to get more comments. It ain't worth it.

I'll say it again 'cause it bears sayin.
People commentin or not ain't no reason to mess with your writing style. The best thing on earth for writing is to get as many concerns between your brain and the words out of the way.
I have trouble reading you sometimes because I try to "read quick" between tasks at work. But if I can't focus, I rarely get through it. But that's my fault not yours.
Say the course. Full steam ahead. ;-)

Well, as you can see by "Okay. Ya know what? 'Scuse me, but", I took your advice...
*lmao*
(And, for the record, I'm more of a bathroom read or something to do on a sick day, maybe. Like wrapped up in a say... white? robe, with a laptop or something? If you read Xfire on a laptop, I could then be both a sick day thing to do and a bathroom read, depending on what kinda bug you're hosting... *grin*)

Hi Stevie,
I haven't commented much anywhere lately, but it's not a reflection of your (or anyone else's) writing. I've just been swamped with real life and haven't felt much like commenting or blogging. No worries though...I'll snap out of it. You keep doing what you're doing...don't change for anything
