QOD
What keeps you from commenting?
You. Yes, you. Come on, tell me why you don’t comment. There are several thousand of you that don’t comment each day and I must say we DO want to hear (read) what you have to say. You are our faithful readers and we don’t bite.
Well I do, but that’s b/c Mrs. Hotviti likes it….
Still learning how to use the computer machine.
You want comments while we’re still traumatized by the Alaskan Pit Bull in lipstick?
I haven’t imbibed enough to get over the shock of McFail & Failin.
That and the shock that Rudy looks more and more like Nosferatu every day.

I disagree that “we don’t bite”.
In my first foray into this site, I didn’t understand that Liz Allen’s reference to “Dr. McDowell” was not a mis-reference to Harris McDowell–and she did bite.
The conduct on this site isn’t for the faint of heart. That is the reason that more folks don’t post. The conduct on this site, however, keep lots of folks keep coming back (as read-only-ers). I wouldn’t sweat it.
Being at work all day? Not enough discussion in threads to warrant a comment perhaps? Sometimes there nothing much to say other than “I agree” and that hardly seems worth commenting. If I do multiple comments it’s usually because I’m responding to other commenters. Plus some threads get bogged down with trolling which distracts the discussion.
Thanks for the invitation. Does this site really get 1000’s of visitors a day? I don’t visit daily, but it is a great site. I am totally for Obama and Biden. Biden clearly has the most experience, especially with foreign policy. The war issue has to be the most important and Palin really scares me with her stance on war and military. The republicans don’t stick with the issues, but having a woman on the ticket has become an issue. Ironically, I don’t think it is an issue for most republicans. They are obviously using a woman on the ticket to get the Hillary voters. I don’t think most men realize how important this is. (I can see this even though I have always been for Biden and then Obama.)
We do get thousands of visitors each day. And one thing comments do is also give us some ideas of what readers might be interested in more discussion on. So jump in! I know you have lots of ideas to share.
Welcome, Liberalvoter!
Testing…
Are my comments getting eaten?
Thanks!
I comment!!…spottily…I am willing to bet for most it’s because there are a handful of commenters in an interesting dialogue…it can be hard to “compete”…
And picking a snazzy enough, anonyminty-preserving moniker is hard…I’ve gone through several… 😛
Or anonymity for that matter.
Mm. Minty.
liberalvoter…
yes, fyi for the month of Aug we hit six figures
NWL
that’s just it though, this isn’t a competition. It is all about sharing your perspective. I for one enjoy seeing new commenters and reading their opinions. It helps us understand what others are thinking. Besides morons like Mike W and A.bundy
I love to visit this site….I am a “national politics” junkie …..I’ve been trying to learn more about local politics by checking in with the local blogs (& volunteering for the local campaigns)….
this is the only local blog I’ve placed comments on….cause I know & love our girl Pandora!!
Congratulations on your six figures. You guys run a good blog.
Thanks for the shout out, Stella!
Posting on a blog can be intimidating at first, but I really enjoy reading new opinions. Keep ’em coming!
“Besides morons like Mike W and A.bundy”
Hardly – There are certain opinions you don’t like and you get butthurt about it.
Oh, I know!! But it can be hard to “keep up” and I would guess people feel that way…and agree they shouldn’t…
Looking forward to trying to offer more thoughts…
Oh & btw, I wondered why that poll to the top left doesn’t account for Independents or others?
We’re not all Democrats or Republicans anymore…in fact, a lot of people my age are unaffiliated, and quite happy to be so.
I’ve commented a few times, but mostly I stay out because I don’t live in DE. (My interest is due to being a former Eastern Shore resident.)
johnny,
where abouts on the eastern shore?
I comment infrequently, mostly because I don’t get to the site as often as I like, and, when I do get here, I have a lot of posts to review. My comments tend to be #84 on a post that has been beaten to death.
PO,
you can count on your comment being read and it being valued. trust me.
Probably because you guys just aren’t liberal enough. Oh, and you’re entirely too fair to Republicans.
Another poll today that doesn’t account for Independents…
I won’t be voting in the primaries tomorrow, because I can’t.
