I re-re-checked my initial comment and see I didn't write about the reblog - at all.
I noticed, but it's ok; I was happy just to get your comment.
I'm one of those non-rebloggers. Mostly.
Me too. We should start a club.
Do they actually READ the post?
Most don't, I am pretty good at telling if they have by how they comment though. I'll often call them out on it.
Why bother to comment?
To garner favour...But I have their measure.
I am just proofing a 2000+ word post right now (a fiction about a man and war) for tomorrow and you know what? I understand that hardly anyone will read it am ok with it. I don't get annoyed or feel entitled to votes or whatever. I wrote it for me, for the enjoyment, and other reasons. But what I do get annoyed with is people not reading post but commenting as if they have. The old G-dog has a nose for that bullshit and whilst I'm still (mostly polite) I hate it. Like you say, just don't comment at all.
But, thanks for yours though, for re-re-checking your original comment. Classy. Appreciated.
Oh my word. And I obviously don't re-re-check my spelingg
Most comment without reading. It's very obvious. My problem with reading the long ones is I know how much (or little) time I have so I open the tabs. Start reading. And a couple days later realize I haven't finished or commented. Inevitably I have a gazillion tabs crashing my laptop so then I need to catch up on days old posts. So I guess I'll start a tab club too
You better avoid my next post then. Lol.
