As much as I enjoy blogging and foisting my world view on those who take the time to read my musings, I now want to express an annoying frustration with High Plains Blogger.
It is the lack of varied responses. My blog draws responses from a narrowly defined audience, as best I can tell.
Do not get me wrong. I appreciate those who do take the time to comment on my offerings. They read them on a few social media platforms I use to distribute these posts. I also am acutely aware that High Plains Blogger is being read by a worldwide audience. Readers from dozens of countries on every continent inhabited by human beings have read these offerings.
More to the point. I am astounded at how so few of them take the time to comment on the “reply” block on the bottom of my blog posts published on Word Press. One guy is a regular commenter. He’s a critic of this blog. I generally don’t engage in debate with him because there’s little point in individuals talking past each other. He won’t change my mind and I won’t change his mind.
Another gentleman chimes in on occasion, often to respond to the critic. I hear from maybe two or three other commenters who take the time to reply infrequently to my Word Press posts.
I guess I am using this post to call for greater, more varied response to my offerings.
Or … could it be that I am boring the readers of this blog? Gosh. I hope that’s not the case.
Meanwhile, I’ll keep slogging on with a word of thanks to those who take the time to read these messages. If you have a response to share, then by all means speak up.
Oh, and I fully expect the critic I mentioned earlier to offer his usual brand of venom.
Are your political views wacko? Absolutely. Do you bore this reader? Hell no! I for one enjoy your blog.
Thank you. I think.
