a comment on a comment, or two

    This is my blog. It is the "place" online where I post things that I write. Some of those things are serious, and some are ridiculous. Some are insightful, and some are just silly. Some are meaningful, and some are utterly pointless. As the disclaimer at the bottom of this and every page indicates:
All opinions expressed on herein are those of the stated author. Nothing included is a representation of the views of any employer, or anyone else, unless explicitly stated.
What that means to me is that my writing, here and elsewhere, is for my benefit. If you do not like it, do not appreciate it, do not agree with it, or if you find it offensive, then that is your business. If you feel compelled to comment to that effect: feel free. But you should know that this is the space that I have reserved for myself and for the community of people who choose to read what I write. I do not delude myself into thinking that they always agree with me, or read what is written in the way that it was intended. In other words, it is not always as funny or erudite or pithy or scandalous in print as it was in my imagination. But it is still mine. And I will not temper it, or delete it altogether, simply because someone finds it not to their liking.
    And I will certainly not change my mind, or change what I have written, because someone writes an ill-considered, and extremely poorly worded, comment in defense of something that I [clearly] find indefensible. To even think that I, or anyone else, would do so, is one of those mysteries of human behavior that I will never really grasp. Thank goodness.
    So there.
