Somebody asked an interesting question in the comments and I want to put my response in a separate post:
I’d appreciate it if you read my post instead of ordering me to a doctor…is that how you respond to any person who has view different from yours?
My readers have to prove their mettle to me by dealing with my very direct and aggressive style of communication at first. Once they do that, I become the mostly cuddly, supportive, loving blogger they will ever meet. Of course, those who can’t take the heat will find that first stage of dealing with me somewhat uncomfortable.
I do this to ensure that the style of communication on this blog never transforms into the cloyingly saccharine format I see on so many other blogs. My readers are all somewhat gruff and very honest people. My posts are often written with blood and tears but never with snot and saliva. OK, that is very tortured imagery but I’m too exhausted to come up with anything better.
In other news, I’m seriously considering adding a secret, password-protected page for this blog for reasons I can’t name here because they would have to go into the secret, password-protected page. This is the price of fame and notoriety, people. Now one can’t even say all she wants to say on one’s official blog.
