You're reading your favorite blogs, and on one of those blogs, you see a post that's just hilarious! So you decide to leave a comment... and man, your comment is just as funny as the post. And you think "I have to remember to come back here to see what other people say!" And you come back later and...
Nothing. Nothing new. Virtual crickets.
And you realize... I just killed the comments.
Do you know what I'm talking about? You leave a comment that you, at the time, think is funny. But really, it's either a little too offensive, or a little too off-subject, or it's so NOT funny that it kinda kills the mood for everyone. And this wouldn't be so bad if you were the 30th or 50th commenter on that post, but... yeah, you were #2. Or three. And the beautiful, hilarious post of that blogger you so enjoy... you just wasted it.
Don't you hate when that happens?
Or... wait. Does this only happen to me? I know for a fact that I sometimes do this (maybe even more frequently than I think). I don't mean to. I actually feel bad for the blogger whose comments I just killed, but then, how do you apologize for that? In the comments?
So, anyway... if you're reading this, and you remember sometime I killed your comments, well... I apologize. Hopefully, I won't do it again.
