Th...So, this seems to be a fine place to say this.<br /><br />The golden era of DS commenting is gone, and the flavor of that era is not coming back. We all agree that it is a shame, and the folks who care about such things argued, challenged, lamented and ultimately resigned themselves to that fact, publicly, in a number of places.<br /><br />What is encouraging is that there is a resolute, resilient core of commenters who refused to abandon the place, and shone on. They are still making the sort of smart jokes that brought us here in the first place. Some days it is more difficult; jealous idiots can be actively hostile to our efforts and the loneliness of being the only ones trying, and having hateful or stupid or thoughtless crap overwhelm and obscure our best work passively discourages us.<br /><br />Still, it is heartening that at this point, it is clear that we're not going extinct. <b>Great jokes are still being made</b>, there are other new voices trying to add to the mix of joke-tellers, and thanks in part to this blog, there is still a positive community focused on this and rewarding such efforts, from the old and new alike. <br /><br />We didn't realize we were in Eden, and now we're kicked out and the world is more obnoxious than we'd prefer, true. This beats the pants off of the alternative, though.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5869054609060332881.post-16974242086575229662012-11-15T09:30:03.382-05:002012-11-15T09:30:03.382-05:00Doug,

I spent fifteen minutes staring at it, debating, chewing my nails, grinning, crying. When I submitted it, I must have looked like Nic Cage in Vampire's Kiss, exhausted and covered in blood.
