I Have to Repeat Myself

I seriously cannot say this enough. I like it when people argue with me. I will clarify, because some strange people that I don't actually know comment on my blogs in ways that I don't see as constructive.

First of all, if you are going to argue with me, Mr. John Dermot, have an actual argument ready. You'll see that telling me how sub-par my itty bitty blog is is not considered an actual argument. "I just expected more" also does not seem to get at any real point, nor does it express any real view or argument.

Please, for the love of god, do not bother commenting on anything I've written with these things:

1.) The idea that what I'm writing is scientific in any way. This blog is a brainstorm. Sometimes it is a hair brained, eccentric and often inaccurate brain storm. It is not a scientific research paper. The word "musings" comes to mind.

2.) An attitude. Listen to this now. If you want anyone to listen to your brilliant counter argument, order at a restaurant, or recounting of your day, LOSE YOUR ATTITUDE. It immediately makes you unsavory, it immediately makes me lose respect for you, and most importantly it immediately makes me lose interest in whatever it is that you are saying. Given that you, John Dermot, are a stranger, you are starting off on uneven ground as it is. Do not make a first impression like that.



This is a safe place for me to share my thoughts with other people. Do not make me turn this into a private blog. I enjoy letting people read my silly musings, but if I keep getting e-mails about strangers bitching like little girls on my comments page, I will do it.


To the rest of you, well met and I look forward to some actual arguments that encourage me to learn and re-think the world around me.
