Let's Not Hurt Each Other, Okay?

The webmaster of this site (my typist and flunky, Bill Barol) has persuaded me to open posts for comments and trackbacks, whatever those are. Mr. Irresponsible isn't sure this is a good idea, but is told reader comments are an important part of the ongoing dialogue that is at the heart of weblogging.  Ongoing or otherwise, dialogue strikes me as an overrated idea. You know what I like? That's right: Monologue.  One person exercising his right to yammer on, while others exercise their right to ignore him if they so choose. So let's call this an experiment, and keep in mind that I will delete comments that are libelous, defamatory, profane or constitute hatespeak. As always, I reserve those prerogatives for myself.

Wow, do I really get to be the first to comment? Not that I expect per the last post that it will ever be read, but nonetheless. And on my birthday too. Happy birthday to me. But I digress. Keep up the good work Mr. Irresponsible.

Wendy: I don't know what you mean by Not that I expect per the last post that it will ever be read... But let me assure you that every comment to this weblog gets read, even if it's only by Skip, our intern from the junior college. We've placed him in charge of the Comments and Trackbacks Division here at Mr. Irresponsible World HQ, and his first job will be to find someone who can make me understand what a trackback is and why I care. Oh yeah: Happy birthday, I guess. Yr "pal," Mr. I
