I took off that stupid “followers” thing because I would rather not be published then resort to such things.  I hope my writing speaks for itself.

I’m not the begging type.  So I’m leaving the “follow this blog” up for a week if I can stand it.  Please do if you like Courting

OK I can’t stand this.  I feel that I paid my blogging dues and paid and paid and paid!  I have always felt that personal blogs should come with an expiration date.  But when you have a product to push, you need to show that you’re part of a social network–like the two thousand blog posts, articles and even text books that mentioned Courting don’t count–in the frigging past

If you appreciate Courting because it might be a better written than the usual blog; because I don’t try to entertain you with cloying cute cleverness; because I only post when I have something to say; (OK that last one is a lie in the Christine O’Donnell school of truth);  because damn it! I’m a good person who spent too much time blogging about politics and blogging without asking for money, donations, whatever.  Because I don’t usually ask you to follow me on Facebook or Twitter, because___fill in the reason.

My future might depend on it!   Apparently it’s not about the writing but the number of followers.  And yes I hate that!!!!!
