Hey raimycitymusichall,

I have not had the pleasure of cruising through your blog in a while, so I am not aware of the comments which have caused you to deprive the public, your public, to speak their thoughts regarding it. I gather some have offended your mother and indeed that is something no one has the right to do, family is one’s most prized possession and it should be sacred enough not to be badgered by people who obviously do not value it. Nonetheless I just wanted to tell you that not giving the chance to people to comment, even if only temporarily, will not make them change their mind, nor will it let them grow a brain or any kind of sensitivity. It is inevitable that someone will not concur with your lifestyle, the one that emerges from your posts at least. Unfortunately many people just get their kicks criticizing in a neither constructive nor humorous way… You say that you try to please everyone and make your blog entertaining. From the amount of hits you collect each day it is obvious you are well on your way to achieve such goal. I personally find that the most fascinating part about blogging is getting the feed-back from people you don’t know, be it positive or not, and being able to respond to them personally, and on occasion to verbally but subtly demolish their lack of intelligence or skills when they just write something meaningless out of boredom. So I guess that what I am inarticulately trying to say is that in the end you are not really punishing anybody, if not yourself. I mean people probably do comment on your blog for their own publicity, but that brings no damage to you. I find that often the comment box becomes a truly interesting site for discussion, delivering something that does not come across through the posts. It’s a little space in which you are out of character and it just adds a new twist to the whole deal, making it all the more entertaining. The artist, the author, is such not only when his work is read, but also when the reader is able to extract his own meaning from said work. Master Google has given all us nobodies the chance to taste such feeling, we do not own our space on the internet, and we do not own the right to tell people off, or deprive them of expressing their views. Notoriety, as anything has its disadvantages and of course encountering bored envious people able to write nothing but crap is one of them.

If you really seek to render your blog more entertaining, might I suggest you put the comments back on, and respond to those idiots, they will enjoy their 15 seconds of publicity and return to their suburban provincial little hole of ignorance. See I don’t even particularly like your way of writing, but I must say your blog does become addictive, whether one likes it or not; that means you have a gift: you are able to capture one’s attention; but what are you gonna do with it then?? Just leave there?? Let them speak their mind; I have trouble believing you are not smart enough to understand whatever is being said is nothing but virtual crap, if something bugs you deal with it, one on one. Banning problems doesn’t make them disappear.

Ok that’s more than enough nonsense from me

 

Cheers
