I hate to disappoint you but I am a lover not a fighter. Okay, I have said some rotten things to a few people but mostly the nuts from the Right who have to ruin our fun here. I mostly write stupid meaningless things so why stop now? Here are some experiences that many OS people have experienced.

1. Comments—How many of you have had bad times with comments? You post a comment and you have made an obvious error with no way to correct it. It is eerily similar to the dream many have had when you show up to work or school naked. I'll give you an example. There was this post about the appearance of women . I said, “ I am a sucker for women with small beasts.” I pushed post. This was doubly bad as it contained an unattended pun and a key misspelling. I also said : “Lieberman should be bent over and pounded by a big man named Bubba.” I pushed post and then realized that this was sent to my gay friends post. I hid for a full day with the screen blank. There are perhaps a hundred others but I am not here for just your entertainment. So phuck off...

2. The Comment accidental double click is a real nightmare. You scroll down hoping to see your clever comment and you get this:

1. Have you ever done a post and put it out there. Read it and with heart racing ran for the delete post button? It is a moment of terror.

2. Have you ever become attracted or intrigued by someone's avatar?

3. Have you ever been momentarily frightened by a avatar? Delia Black's eye was following me one late night and it freaked me out.

4. Now, around here the criticism is generally pretty mild but it can get pretty intense once in a while. I especially hate it when they have to send you a private e-mail so they can continue on. I hate that. I call it puking on my blog. In fact, I once wrote a post entitled: How to Wipe the Puke Off Your Post—a meaningless bit of smarty talk. An Argentine tennis umpire proceed to puke all over my silly post on puke and returned three days in a row. I couldn't believe it. I wrote a serious thing on my experience with sex offenders and the conversation was lively and profound until some ass came up with this: " Do you feel that your attitude of witchburning hysteria was helpful to these unfortunate abused children?" I immediately shut off comments the only time I ever did that.

5. Have you ever forgotten how to hot link something and then had to relearn it for the thousandth time?

    

6. You write something you think—Wow, this is one of the best I have ever done. They're gonna love it! You post and wait, and wait and wait. Pretty soon your pals come over and make kind comments and rate you which makes it even worse. It's a flop.

    

7. The reverse is also true. Why am I putting this out there for the world to see? This is flipping stupid. Bingo! It becomes one of your top-rated of the year. Huh!

    

8. Your stumbling around, bored with the regular stuff and find someone new. You read it and it is terrific, just terrific. You vow that you will remember but you don't and you later go now where was that thing?

9. By the way, I dare you to use the People search. I think it takes off for the Twilight Zone.

1. You are reading your comments and you notice that someone is really a fan and often with you on nearly every post. You notice that you have not paid them enough attention and feel quite shitty.

1. Last, have you ever had a big fan that suddenly never visits you anymore? Losing invisible friends still hurts. And those who leave and take down all their writings gives me the same feeling I got cleaning out Mom's closets.

2. Have you ever had problems with numbers in a post? 

I love this place and I love you. Peace sayeth the Spudman.
