If You Can't Say Something Nice, Then At Least Leave It in the Right Place

January 19, 2004 - 11:18am

I have something stupid and very web geeky to say, but it's important to me, and that is this:

If you want to comment on one of my journals, whether it was two journals ago or one from two years ago, comment on the journal that is relevant to whatever the hell you are saying, not the most recent journal just because you think I won't read your precious words or because you are too busy to click in the right place or whatever the reasoning is. This is a huge pet peeve of mine, mostly because this place, this journal, while being entertaining for you or keeping you in the loop or acting as your source for collecting blackmail material, is really an archive of my life, one I am trying to keep relatively organized.

I have ways of finding new comments, and if you are really that worried, just e-mail your thoughts to me (which you can do using the e-mail function on the frontpage without logging in anywhere).

Finally, if I turn comments off (as I did in this journal) that isn't a mistake. I means no comments, not please-take-it-upon-yourself-to-comment-on-the-entries-directly-surrounding-thank-you. Again, in those cases, just e-mail me. That's what I'm trying to encourage.

These are not “rules”. This is the Internet and I can't make anybody do anything. It is my intention to make my stance on this known, and nothing more. Just think about it, faithful reader, next time you'd like to make your stance known on something.

Thank you.

Right! Yes. Fer Shur. Will do. Hey, everybody, comment on this posting! Here! Because J wants you to be relevant to the subject matter -- and you should! Don't shamelessly point others to your journal(s) unless they pertain to -- or at least segue nicely from -- the journal entry you are commenting on! Or I'll break yer fingers! Love, Cray Z T

Interesting. Milton would say more but there is nothing more to say. This entry speaks for itself. Good Day.
