Oh, I hardly ever look at the traffic statistics on this blog. I can't remember seeing a day when I had fewer than in the hundreds, never more than a couple of thousand for some of the posts that got some mention elsewhere. I don't keep track. I figure I write stuff, I post it. Sometimes I even fix it. Blogging is quick and dirty writing and editing. At Echidne's I once said, A man who acts as his own editor has a blogger for a client. She pointed out that that didn't include women.
If people want to read it, it's there for them to read. I figure if no one comments it means they don't have major disagreements they want to fight about. I usually won't turn up an intelligent brawl, if they're on topic or at least interesting. I love to argue. I even argue with myself, it's called "thinking critically". I'd say you should try it but it's too late for you.
Nobody's paying for this, nor us forced to read it. Odd thing, blogs; I can't decide how to classify them.
ReplyDeleteBut in a world of printed material, including especially tweets, you are free to read whatever you like, and ignore what you don't like. I'll even write posts about essays and the like I think poorly...essayed.
But reading it just so you can complain about reading it? That has never made sense to me.
