Patience is a virtue people tell me I possess and I am grateful for the kind words and, of course, for the quality they say I have.<\/p>\n

I have to tell you, though, that some followers of this blog surely do test whatever patience I deploy.<\/p>\n

One guy offers a good example. He is a critic of High Plains Blogger. He wails on me whenever I have something negative to say about Donald Trump or something positive I have to offer about Kamala Harris; my earlier support for Joe Biden also drew barbs.<\/p>\n

FYI, this individual keeps insisting he isn’t a Trump cultist.<\/p>\n

But … he is!<\/em><\/p>\n

Sometimes this guy offers commentary that the Word Press platform approves automatically as a blog response. Others require me to approve them individually … which I generally do. I say “generally,” because I am beginning to axe some commentary that either is repetitive, or is patently false or provides criticism I might deem to be defamatory. Defaming someone exposes a lot of folks to litigation and as I have told critics over the years who insist that I publish such material: I don’t care if you get sued, but I damn sure care if I get sued.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

My blog also contains non-political material as well. I comment on goings-on in the community I call home and also speak to what I call “slice of life” matters of a more personal nature, Does my critic bother to respond to any of those commentaries? Hah! Which leads me to believe he is “trolling” me.<\/p>\n

My patience has its limits. This guy — and some others as well — are testing it mightily. I shall remain strong.<\/p>\n\n
