You know, what I find strange ?
Are you people extra shy ? Afraid of others ? Insecure ?Whatever your deal is, if you read my blogs (and others), why not comment on them ? It doesn't have to be profound. Just drop an emoticon, or say hi or something. Honestly, I blog elsewhere and get 30 to 100 or so responses. On here its pathetic. People are afraid to comment or something. Its strange. You can see the hits, but rarely does anyone comment. Take a look at the difference between those two columns to the right and you know that you are part of the reason. Its not just my blogs, its ALL of them.
I get a lot of people telling me, "oh, I love your blogs. I read all of them." Yet, I never see most of these people comment at all. On here, 5 responses is a huge success. 10 responses would be historical. OK, I had 10 responses on my last blog, but some of them were me. So, that doesn't count. Don't get me wrong, not all blogs are inspiring, especially, not mine. I'm not saying you have to comment on EVERY blog. But, what I am saying, is that you'll have a lot more fun, if you actually participate and share your ideas, offer some insight, support, or just make a wise crack. It's all good (unless you berate someone). I've made some terrific friends this way and you can too.
Some of these people here pour their hearts out and you read it and say nothing. Trust me, they want to see your comments, even if you don't agree with what they've said. They'd love your feedback. The owners of this site have given us an awesome framework to interact with complete freedom to communicate and share thoughts & ideas. So, are you people, or mice ? C'mon, lets hear you roar !!!

You all brought up some good points.
I too can be very nice or very volatile
depending upon what's being dished out to me. However, it's not like someone is actually shooting a gun at your head, or something. We all should survive, no matter how harsh the comment/commentor.
I try to respond to everyone, but I'm not on the computer 24/7, so they just have to exhibit a little patience. I feel this blog page has terrific potential, but most readers just don't get it. They don't get involved and thus, they miss out.
Keep up the great work guys !

You read his profile and you agree with him? That's funny. You state on your profile that you are a strong Christian and he is agnostic. Should make for fun discussions if nothing else.
I agree with this blog post, though. I have thought the same thing...most blogs on this site get very few comments. It's amazing that people keep blogging at this rate! :)
