Long a lurker here, I am now blinking at the light and wondering what happened to me. Age has added confidence and wisdom and I have added a grammar app that has boosted my writing ego. So here goes: My first diary.
Back in aught four I stumbled on Daily Kos, followed it for a while, then signed up in 2005. To put that into perspective, my user ID is 45334. All that time, I had nothing to complain about. I survived countless flame wars, individual wars in the comments, and the emergence of humor that amazed me. Kos was right when he let us duke it out as much as possible but like the wayward children we sometimes can be, when Kos got into the comments or worse yet, wrote a scolding diary, we all knew we were in trouble.
Today I have a complaint. Unlike many people, I usually enjoy ads. I do pay attention to them and try to patronize them. And anytime an ad obstructs ANY part of a diary/story, I can’t turn it off fast enough. That’s just wrong. I take them down so that I can read a story that someone put their brainpower and time into writing and I can better understand a point or opinion. If you get the ads off the dairies/stories, I will (most likely) go through them and pay attention to most of them, then go back to really enjoying dairies and stories.
I tried hard to minimize this and make my voice heard via telephone but that didn’t work. So…..Here I Am. Please fix this. Thanks so very much.
