Transcript:
Clayton: Dad, I want to be super rich when I get older. Adam: Okay, but money alone wont' make you happy. Clayton: What will? Adam: A loving family and good, loyal friends. Clayton: But couldn't I just buy those? Then I could tell them what to do. Adam: Just telling someone what to do doesn't make for a good relationship. Laura: Adam, would you please take out the garbage!? Clayton: Despite what mom thinks. Adam: She said "please".
I hardly think that I am in the minority by not disclosing my real name in an online forum. You chose to do so, and that is your business.
We both frequent the same site. That hardly constitutes cyber-stalking. I believe that I have been posting here longer than you, so you cannot claim that I followed you here. We two comment on some of the same strips, but not all. I don’t seek out your posts on strips that I do not regularly read, just so I can harass you. The nature of forums such as this is that comments often refer to other comments, as well as to the strip at the top of the page. When you post ridiculous things, it should not be a surprise when they are ridiculed.
Also, when I don’t find your posts objectionable, I don’t object to them. But the pattern of your comments - the pedantry, the cluelessness, the inanity - is such that you produce FAR more bloviation on a daily basis than I could keep up with anyway, were I disposed to do so.
If you want to record every little puff of half-thought that the wind blows into your ears for all eternity, might I suggest you start a blog. I promise I would keep far, far away. Until then, it is no easier for ME to ignore everything YOU post than it is for YOU to ignore ME.
