something I said?
Okay, bloggers, you surf, you read, you might even take the time to comment. And then, occasionallllllly, you might drift back to the place you commented to see if anyone else commented on your comment.
I said occasionally. When you can remember where it was. And when you feel curious.
So, you look and……you don’t see your comment! Gone!
You wonder, maybe I didn’t actually LEAVE the comment? Maybe I was interrupted before I hit submit. Maybe I only thought about it and didn’t really do it. Maybe Big Brother Blogger zeroed me out.
OR.
Maybe someone DELETED YOU! You and your precious, clever words (and you weren’t rude or obscene or anything–Oh, was that it? too boring?)! Are bloggers deleting just ‘cuz these days? ‘Cuz they don’t like your spelling? ‘Cuz they Have The Power?
The trouble is you can’t REMEMBER. About that pesky SUBMITTING part. And there’s all that WORD VERIFICATION stuff that you can never read. And maybe even MATHEMATICAL SKILLS required.
So, should you be mad and boycott that site forever and for always, use Barbie to put vodoo curses on them, and maybe even toss a little snarkiness their way blogosphere-wise? Or, should you go with the “maybe I didn’t actually LEAVE the comment in the first place?”
Should you be up in arms? Or, not.
I’m just asking.

I assume, unless I have a compelling reason to think otherwise, that it got lost in cyberspace or I did the frigging word verification wrong, or something like that. Sometimes I’ll re-comment, sometimes not if I feel the moment has just passed. I wouldn’t boycott the blog unless it just kept happening and I began to get an inkling that maybe, for whatver reasons, my comments weren’t wanted.
Yeah, so we’ll see of this is still here when I drift back to check. Now, where’s my voodoo Barbe doll..

I have that same problem and I take it personally. My feelings get hurt and I angst for a day or two about whether I might have said something offensive without intending to.
