I’ve reached a new milestone in the wonderful world of blogging.
The anonymous comment bitch fight. See comments in My Favorite Things #1 post for more info.

“Anon” was angry about the post left late yesterday evening due to the fact that I posted the very sad news story about the death of two Bay area cyclists earlier in the day. While I didn’t personally know either of them, I was troubled, as most in the cycling community probably were and rather than just skim over it posted the news.

His first two comments went something along the lines of “Thats fucked up you posting a picture of you drinking beer in the tub…these people died yesterday…some people can’t drink beer.” I may not have it exactly correct, I’m paraphrasing here. The comments were deleted as my initial reaction was to remove them since I didn’t necessarily agree with “Anon.”

The third comment he posted, I left. I owe Mr. “Anon” a thank you in some manner as his outburst got me to thinking… Do I edit post comments? Do I remove the anonymous comment option? Do I give a crap?

Conclusion- I’m not exactly the most verbally passive person you’ll ever meet and I’m certainly not a self-editor. Why should I require people who leave comments on this blog to live up to standards I don’t impose on myself? The “do as I say, not as I do” mentality always pissed me off so the simple answer is- I won’t!

This blog was intended to be a sort of “news reel” of my mind/life and as the media goes I’d much rather be the BBC than FOX for example.

SO on that note, beware, this is not a jitbag free zone. Such is life.

But if you have any balls at all you’ll leave your name.
