One of the minor, unfortunate by-products of the current wave of self-righteous entitlement that has become the unquestioned default setting for most people in "civilized" societies is that there is a presumption that because there is a comment section, "content creators" are somehow interested, expected to be respectful of, or engaged in any way whatsoever in a time-wasting discussion with any and every person who has a thought about your "content."  

I do not share this opinion, respect, or belief.

My opinion is that only children and bitches engage in discussions on comment boards, and it has been my policy for years, when commenting on, say, YouTube, to leave my comment and never, ever return to it.  Of course all notifications are always off.  Unfortunately, it isn't possible to adjust the comment settings on this platform yet.  

It might come as a revelation to you, but there are many of us who truly don't care what you think, who don't care which thumb icon you click on, who don't "create content" for your benefit.  Some of us write, sing, and play (in my case) for our own unilateral reasons.  We don't care what you think about anything.

Awhile ago, somebody left a comment on a rather poorly-written, rambling article of mine about "why you should become a sexist too," and I was amazed at the myopic sanctimoniousness of it, to the point that I immediately disregarded everything to do with it, like I always do.  

However, on my last article, somebody commented that "like it or not, languages evolve," and the sheer smugness of presumption in a "like it or not" statement on somebody's article who hasn't solicited your self-important perspective, who doesn't write for the enlightenment of ANYBODY but rather for the enjoyment of writing and thinking, and who doesn't know you,

makes me sick.  

So, anyone (anyone) I don't know personally, who comments more than once, especially with the intention of enlightening me on something they could easily write their own articles about, will be deleted and blocked (when possible), and when that happens, do your mind a favor and consider the possibility:

It isn't closed-mindedness or fear of the unknown that blocks you.  It's boredom.  Comment sections have created a presumption of interest in our society.  "Hey, a comment section" does not automatically mean, "this person wants to engage in a discussion with me."

We've all left comments of all kinds on all kinds of platforms; nobody here is INNOCENT of BEING UNCOOL, RUDE, or PRESUMPTUOUS in a comment section.  In fact, the post on this blog entitled "An Apology" was an email I sent Marcus Rogers apologizing for a handful of rude comments I left on one of his videos.  That was 2 weeks ago.  I'm not on a high horse about it.  But being aware of my own guiltiness of my own presumption, does not make me automatically interested in yours.

If you want to discuss something with me, WRITE ME AN EMAIL, and if our correspondence bears fruit, that would be great. 

I love when that happens.
