My First Criticism

Tweet

After two years, 800 plus posts and many good comments, I got my first critical comment from a reader using a Springfield, Virgina server:

"Your "partially sponsored" posts are a transparent disgrace. I'm surprised you're being paid for them, since I can't imagine many people read your blog in the first place, as it is mind-numbing. (Like most other blogs which aspire to the "Life Under Construction" and such imitations of profundity.) Most likely this won't go through. And if it does you'll use it as the basis for some insipid defensive post which nobody will read, because nobody reads your blog in the first place."

Well, thank you, Springfield, for taking time to read my blogs and for writing to me. If it wasn't for you, nobody would be reading my posts. Next time, could be you a little more specific about your dislikes and recommendations? Anyone can be a critic. The good ones help improve the process. Thanks again and happy surfing!
