If you were female maybe it would be OK. You are way to absorbed by yourself. You really should get over it. It’s not that important. If you were female maybe it would be OK.

I have had one real comment on dozens of articles I've written. I've had literally hundreds of spam comments, most of which don't even make sense, they are referrals to invalid web site locations. My guess is I have about ten people who read what I write, and three hundred who want to post spam that doesn't even go to someplace valid. I had to turn comments off on my blog software for a time to drive away the spammers. I then turned them back on and figured out how to change comments to pending, and so far (crossing fingers) over several months I've stopped having spam.

Not to mention, I wasn't sure if posting yet ANOTHER comment would piss off the gf, now that I know what it does for you. ;) 1. Why we comment? It's interaction with the blogger and his thoughts...a conversation, really. It gives you the knowledge that people are reading, understanding and care about giving you feedback (not to mention the 'satisfaction' it gives you, too). 2. If you ever turn comments off, I will cry. Don't even think about it...

I wonder whether commenting might, in some cases, be orgasmic for the commenter as well as the commentee :-) Seriously, though, I have noticed a trend in my own commenting behavior that reminds me of driving. When another driver is kind to me, e.g., letting me merge into his or her lane, I find myself more inclined to reciprocate, not necessarily to that driver, but perhaps letting another driver merge in further on (a sort of driving karma). Likewise, when I feel the joy of having another person post a comment on one of my blog posts, I am more likely to peruse that person's blog, and post comments ... _and_ as this pattern recurs, I find myself more and more willing to post comments on others' blogs ... I want to share the joy! I recently read the book "How Full Is Your Bucket" which talks about each interaction as either filling or taking from another person's bucket (of self-worth, positive energy, joy, etc.). I view comments -- and trackbacks -- as a way of filling others buckets. I blogged a bit more about this, for anyone is interested: http://gumption.typepad.com/blog/2006/02/filling_buckets.html. [Note that I recognize that such "self"-reference may be viewed as self-aggrandizing behavior ... and indeed, that some view all actions as selfish ... but I'll leave the final verdict up to the reader.] As for some bloggers turning off comments, I think it is a combination of a blogger's personality, as well as the tone and goals for the blog ... which, in turn, affects the readership (and the tone of their participation). Kathy Sierra, my favoritist blogger in the blogosphere (http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/), maintains a fairly active dialogue with her readers, despite the large number of them ... in fact, some of her readers seem to have assumed a role of quasi-moderator. Finally, following up on Charles' comment regarding his frustration, I have found that TypePad users who use comment filtering have all comments with any external links sent to "Junk" folder. I have greatly curtailed my comment posting -- in frequency and length -- on any such blogs ... which, I suppose, may come as a relief to those bloggers (and their readers). :-) Oh, BTW, if you really want to know why Russell Beattie has turned off comments, I bet he would tell you if you asked ... and according to Google, Ben Metcalfe has had something to say about this: http://benmetcalfe.com/blog/index.php/2006/02/06/russell-beattie-drops-comments/. Great post — and great comments … I wonder whether commenting might, in some cases, be orgasmic for the commenter as well as the commentee :-)

I prefer people to challenge me, agree, cry or whatever but getting the comment is quite rewarding.
