* Who Comments and Why

A anonymous commenter on the Reader blog pretty much sums up the comments here on the 'Broken Heart' too. I thought I'd share them with you.

There are some who use this comment board to vent their spleens.

There are some who use this comment board as a vehicle to attack each other's political agendas.

There are a few certifiable idiots who use this comment board to get their rocks off.

There are some who actually respect the opinions and thoughts of others.

There are some who have specific knowledge of interest to others and are kind enough to share same.

There are some who seek to understand and visit this comment board with the hope of accomplishing same.

The only thing going to shit is this city and county's governments.

Courtesy, I suspect, of the likes of the few idiots whose comments consist solely of personal attacks, disparagements and insults directed at whoever they disagree with.

Those whose comments are obviously intended to distract from intelligent and thoughtful discourse are what I am tired of.

But being tired and giving up are two different things.

The idiots appear to be tireless posters.

I hope those of intelligence will not be discouraged by these few idiots, regardless of who any given reader chooses to deem "said idiots" are.

Here's a guy who has a so-called community website that cut off intelligent and thoughtful discourse by shutting down it's forum.

I'd say the above description fits Charlie Didrickson like a glove.

Nah,

We shut it down cause nobody was interested in discourse. People seem to gravitate to the more bombastic, sensational and intentionally provocative nature of Blogs such as yours Craig.

That and the spammers were a nightmare.

You win!

Damn Charlie, you must be practicing for tonight's spelling bee. If you keep this up all day, you'll win for sure.

and speaking of the idiots in the 49th ward politico group, here a snipit 'Over the weekend, Larry was overwhelmingly endorsed by the 49th Ward Democratic Organization and the Democratic Party of Evanston. At the endorsement sessions, Larry spoke about the need to end the status quo and his commitment to cleaning up government and cracking down on gun violence.' If moore's backing him he must be a crook, or his line of cleaning up the government and cracking down on gun violence (as seen from our latest blotters) must be a real as Joe Moore-on's tall stories. Craig, if you didnt get the suffering junk mail / spam, email me and ill send it to you.
