So I thought about this for quite a while, and I’ve decided (for now at least) not to activate the comments section on this new blog. I know, I know. I’ve defeated the purpose of the blog: open interaction among Internet users. But a lot of times, comment sections can just turn into hot messes. I’ve dealt with them on professional sites I manage as well as on other personal sites. I just don’t have the energy or inclination to police this site as well.

Besides, I sort of enjoy the intimacy of a nicely crafted e-mail from a reader who wishes to tell me that I’m obviously typing with my ass because no one’s brain could come up with such utter stupidity. Ah, those are wonderful moments, I tell you.

Perhaps this will change in the future. But for now – just for now – I’d like to have a place where I can come and blow off steam and ramble or state something completely ludicrous and know that no one is going to call me on it. At least not in public… 😉
