You may have noticed I have disabled comments on my blog.
That is because I don’t care what you think.
Just kidding.
The real reason is this: having previously been the webmeister and moderator for messageboards, I have seen that civil discussion online is impossible, even among good people and good friends.
While I did say ‘online,’ I am not blaming the technology; the prophet stated it nicely in Jeremiah 17:9:
“The heart is deceitful above allthings, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (KJV)
No matter how courteous a community starts, it eventually devolves into a Godwin’s Law supernova.
Plus, I don’t have to deal with spam, and I simply don’t have the time of inclination to do the administrative work.
