My blog draws responses from a narrowly defined audience, as best I can tell.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>More to the point. I am astounded at how so few of them take the time to comment on the &#8220;reply&#8221; block on the bottom of my blog posts published on Word Press. One guy is a regular commenter. He&#8217;s a critic of this blog. I generally don&#8217;t engage in debate with him because there&#8217;s little point in individuals talking past each other. He won&#8217;t change my mind and I won&#8217;t change his mind.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I am using this post to call for greater, more varied response to my offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Or &#8230; could it be that I am boring the readers of this blog?\u00a0Gosh. I hope that&#8217;s not the case.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I fully expect the critic I mentioned earlier to offer his usual brand of venom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
