"I luv you, mike. Don't take me too seriously, i'm an youngish thinking and looking grandmother. i love your blogs. you hit the nail on the head. you should write in a newspaper. It will probably be banned by the frummies for telling the truth. They can't stand the truth."
Then, that person never showed up again. also a person named Ahuva K said
-
"just found your blog.
Love the "Midwood is what everyone calls Flatbush" - that irks me as well :)" - That person didn't last long either.
I liked the troll better, than the ones who complimented. The troll gave me a good laugh. So to sum up "Compliments aren't any good, and the criticism could be better".
Agreed, If they dont stick around then its all bs.
ReplyDeletewell, I wouldn't call it criticism I would call it a bunch of meshugas, so it was just for fun. If it was real criticism I'm not sure you would enjoy it so much.
ReplyDeleteBut yea, often times there are those that just come once leave a nice comment and never show up again. Could be because they got busy, stopped commenting altogether, or just forgot about the blog because they haven't subscribed. Or could be they were waiting for a comment back from you, to see if they should continue reading your blog.

Yeah, its really not criticism.

You are implying one of the following three answers. you are the one who originally wrote that. 2) You fit into that category of what the person said. 3) you are about to never show up again on this blog. I hope its the second.
MIKE:
ReplyDeletesome people just read and don't comment. nothing wrong with that.

ReplyDeleteIf they like what they read, they could do the author a favor, and tell them it was good.
Mike: I read plenty of blogs and don't comment.
ReplyDeleteI read your blog regularly, but don't comment that often.
I'm not going to say anything unless I have something to say.
Also, before I had my own blog, I definitely didn't comment, it's too big a pain to set up a username (yes, I know it really isn't, but at that point it seemed so to me)
I know some of my friends read my blog and don't comment and it is kinda annoying. I guess when we want people to comment it's more of a need to see that they're reading than an interest about what they think.
ReplyDeleteMikeInMidwood: First of all smart idea to write this post and get comments from those saying they read the blog but just don't comment often. But that's also why there's stat counter, so you can feel good knowing there's people reading, even if you don't get comments.
ReplyDeleteSecond, check the comment I wrote back about Not Just Typical's thanksgiving post.
Third, funny about the "ex babysitter". Actually, once I finish my 100 posts, then I'm going to change my profile to my Jewish one, so that I won't have the babysitter name anymore.

ReplyDeleteHey, don't be shy comment.

You dove into all our subconscious thought.
Babysitter
Oh no! a compliment.
Ex Babysitter
ReplyDeleteYou are right, in some ways. (Referring to the extra holiday)
Another silent reader coming out of the woodwork here...
ReplyDeleteLike sporadicintelligence, I don't comment because usually I have nothing to say. I do enjoy your blog, and I'd post a comment saying "Hey, good post" or something for everything you write, but that might get a bit tedious... :)
MikeInMidwood: lol, don't worry I'll still be commenting.
ReplyDeleteok, here's a comment; you left out a comma when you wrote
ReplyDelete"don't be shy comment"
it should be,
"don't be shy, comment"
it's a parenthetical comma, when you add on extra info to sentence that the sentence can technically do without (don't be shy is a complete sentence)
it also makes for easier reading because the reader breaks up the sentence according to the punctuation...punctuation is meant to serve a substitute for the voice adding intonation, pauses etc...blah blah blah....
you really don't want me blithering on...
Anon
ReplyDeleteNo one would know. We would think, it could be a different anon. Get a name, so we all know who you are (sort of).

ReplyDeleteBIG DOPE
see I was right, you do know eachother.
ReplyDeleteOk Miss Babysitter.
ReplyDeleteI would like to tell that this person, who ever it is, is lying, and probably feels the need to mess with my mind. I am not at all concerned that, this person knows me, you shouldnt either.
Mike In Midwood: I'm not really concerned either way.
ReplyDeleteJust my curiosity getting the better of me.
Babysitter
ReplyDeletedont let it.
