Tags: bored, comments, compression, hit me, hit me again, lame, morons, pass, plagiarism, surf, triond, what, when, Who

This is the biggest waste of time. Is it more of a waste of time for me, or for you?

How to Make Friends and Influence Comments

—————————0————————–

You have to leave comments to make friends.

You can’t just ‘friend’ someone and expect them to read your work if you didn’t read their work first.

If you are out there trying to collect a million friends without reading their work you are wasting your time.

If all you can comment on my work is ‘good information’ or ‘well informed, or the always droll ‘nice share’, then I will know you didn’t read my article, so I probably won’t read yours.

Ironically, the odds are good that the only people that read this article are the ones that read articles regularly, so basically I am torturing my few faithful readers while the offending parties will just click on my article and comment with ‘nice share’, and surf on down the boulevard.

So, if you actually read this article please comment ‘blah blah blah blah’ down below.

If you comment something lame like ‘nice share’ or ‘great stuff’ or ‘informative’ or something like that I’m going to assume that you trained your pet monkey to surf triond and that he is the smarter of you two. I will offer him bananas and female monkeys, in return he will throw shit at you whenever you sit down to your daily plagiarization or one handed video search you do when Mom’s not looking on your sony 386 or whatever punk third world ‘computer’ you sneaked into the children’s library to use with you stolen library card.

If you ‘friend’ me without leaving a comment on one of my articles I will do the same, only without friending you.

By the way: there are many articles here that aren’t very interesting (including some of mine, like this one, haha, beat you to it) and for the sake of civility we may offer a ‘good write’ or some other mealy-mouthed approbation, and I am also guilty of yawning through a friends crayon-on-manila sappy oh why oh why story poem article song obituary, or whatever, and we all do it at one time or other.

Well, stop it.

Haha. Just kidding, what I mean to say is: we all do it once in a while, but there are some out there who always leave comments that offer nothing juicy for the writer to feed his starving soul with, and they are like fleshless drains into the sewers of grey sameness, their articles compost fermenting words into fertilizer but never into flowers or fruit or even a small cherry tomato plant, which anyone can grow, for crying out loud, just add water.

To make up for the crappy article, let me offer this to the gods of forgiveness:

blah blah blah blah

I say blah blah blah to you because this work was clearly your own, and not rehashed from Wikipedia!

Or was it?

You might have started something with this blah blah!

Interesting post and probably true. There is a knack to this, but I have not discovered it yet. I read articles with interesting titles, like yours! Ha!

your photos are creepy and make me think there is some subliminal messaging going on and maybe i am falling for it because i now want to read lew sethics. i refuse to believe it may be because your article was interesting to read.

Interesting one

But often good one is all I can think of to say. I mean look, a lot of people publish recipes. What am I supposed to say to that? There’s only so much you Can say. Among your options is “Sounds good” (unless of course you actually made the stuff whilst reading the article…)

I’m sorry if I offend you. I read as many articles as I have time for but I try to return every comment I get. If I leave a comment that says “good post” or “well done,” I’m doing my best. I appreciate every comment I get, It doesn’t matter how short.

by the way, you left a three word comment on my article.

This monkey says, blah, blah, blah, blah. You nailed it with this Lew! It does get frustrating when you see some inane article, filled with spelling and grammatical errors and these artists end up with hundreds of views. Also, as Larry Fish pointed out, there are some who have copied others works. I have now gone to (based on Larry’s advice) http://myfreecopyright.com and have copy written all of my stuff. Here is one more site for ya’ partner, RedGage.com allows you to import your work and it is a paying site.

What can I say, I like it that our community mostly leaves encouraging comments and even short ones are appreciated here.

When I read anything I seem to always have something to say,except BLAH BLAH and good one. Of course I have not very often been out of words especially with your interesting posts. I sure do agree with your thoughts here. I get so many “You have a fan” without even a single read from my account. One day, not too long ago, I decided to read from a fellow who befriended me without reading anything of mine. For some reason, I read his last submission and was totally taken in by it. It ended up for me to be fully engaged in the article and have read his material wheneven I am on Triond. That is rare for me to do since so many people just want friends, but don’t know what I think friends means. On another site, I actually asked a fellow what “friend” meant to him. He did not revisit my account, never read anything of mine nor did he answer the “friend” question. Your work deserves more than a “nice share” comment. For that matter, I agree it kind of hurts when those are given yet it is a visit. It really does not say they did not read it or I would like to think it does not mean that. Thank you for the great video too along with your words that I can fully understand why you think them. Could this please count for a good comment? I like reading your articles and will be back, my friend!

KittyK on Mar 30, 2011
Yes, it is important to at least leave a short note remarking on the article just read, and I too, have been guilty of “nice post” or something like that. I now realize it is inappropriate and have been changing my “old ways”. I hope I get a “pass” as I am new
lootinbooty on Apr 2, 2011
nice share!
PaulB on May 30, 2011
Just your luck Lews. I made a long comment but lost connection.

Us madmen must stick together!

Blah blah blah. Nice Share. This is Not a Copy and Paste of someone else. This is a one and only LEWS.
