Atop the Soapbox

gossip

While the comment section is not technically gossip, it is a present you get to open again and again. I'm reaching... Maybe I just liked that above picture to much to let it go unseen.

The comment section seems to be conducive to trouble. It's become a beehive of activity as of late, though the bees are all wearing cloaks and nobody knows who anyone is. What to do!!?? Was Max right in Mission Impossible when she said "I don't know Job anymore than Job knows me." Wait, that's not it. She said "Anonymity is like a warm blanket." Yeeeees, that's the one.

Let's cut to the chase. Try to identify yourself. If not, try to be nice. Play fair. Don't pick on people. Or don't. I'd be lying if I said I'm not a bit amused.

I hope I don't sprain my ankle stepping off of this soap box. It's a long way down.

Michael,
It might be a "beehive of activity" but you've always had that ability to stir the hive up. Poke it with a stick even... That's not all bad; we need that at times. Just be careful.

C,
OHHHH, your face sucks! Just kidding... that's a good comment I suppose. True, perhaps I do stir up the hive, but I don't mind being stung in the least. And yes, it is a bit like highschool. But highschool rocks.

You know you could just turn off the ability for anonymous posting and making everyone sign on with their blog name. Of course this would solve two problems: 1. no more anonymous posts and 2. all your friends would be forced to get a blog. Oh and wait one more... its what Myles does.

Kimberley,
This whole experiment is essentially an attempt to be Myles. It's proving harder than I initially thought...
How are things? Email me sometime if you get this.. wait, I'll email you :)
