I received an email this evening from someone who said, “Did you know that your Comments are turned off on your last post?” Uh, no, I didn’t. I went into my site administration and, sure enough, Comments were inexplicably turned off for “The Greatest ‘Degeneration’?” post.
Lately I’ll admit to feeling a bit disappointed after posting some edgier content, expecting to see comments or brickbats, only to get…zilch. I was left to assume that my argument had been so sound and complete that no one could refute it…or so boring that no one had been able to get through it. Checking the admin page and, sure enough, Comments were off on these posts! Meanwhile, Comments were on for all the other recent posts…only “A Way of a Gun” and “A Poem for Choice” were turned off. Believe me, I’m not ducking argument. Most of the posts here have a 30-day sunset, but I’ve only deliberately shut down comments on posts that have attracted spam.
Maybe my blog-host is trying to protect me from myself, or merely sending me a message that it’s time to move on.
There have been a couple of your posts that have had comments turned off. I guess I assumed it was for a particular reason.
“was left to assume that my argument had been so sound and complete that no one could refute it”
LOL! Not everyone comments to refute something…um, except – you know – like right now…er, rather….moving on.
Actually, I thought perhaps it was my browser or something.
Some posts are so good that they deserve to be treated as stone tablets. That should be your story and you should be sticking to it.
I have no comment on this issue…

Soon, I promise!! My friends all gave me books of cupcake recipes for Christmas. Do you think they were trying to tell me something?
