degringolade

Now, if you read this little cul de sac of the internet, you will notice that I do screen comments. Not a big deal, in the past I have had to deal with with the small number of unpleasant people who posted responses to the thought in my screed that displeased them, so screening and deleting seemed to be the easiest and way to deal with them. Since I moved to Dreamwidth eight years ago, I think that I have had to deal with one incident (Blogger was kind of a nightmare that way), but then again, I had a lot more readers back then so it only makes sense that there was more unpleasantness.

I do follow an eclectic group of folks here on Dreamwidth. I do actively attempt to look for folks who look at things differently than I do. Since I haven't got things in any way figured out, I hold out the bleak hope that someone else has. So my reading page is pretty varied.

So the other day, during my bitching about coffee in the previous post, I saw that one of the folks who I follow was bitching about the same beverage (a different complaint, but still concerning the beverage. I sent an innoculous (at least to me) comment as a form of saying "Hi". This apparently went over like a turd in a punchbowl. I got a response back reminiscent of the trolling that I recieved back in the day.

For some odd reason, this cheered me up.
