I guess that little jab was at all of us that dare use our blogs as personal weblogs, to ponder our own things. Perhaps we should be doing that which the "upper crust" does; sit around and poke fun at everyone else. Gah.

That is the only point. Jason, I think you are missing the point of the post;

And I think the house analogy is bad, you don't invite anyone, anyone can access your site, like a public toilet, and believe me I've been in some public toilets that people did a lot of shitting in. So until you can limit who comes onto your site, like people invited into your house, people are always going to be less than exceptional, especially with someone who puts out their feelings as much as you do on this blog. That being said....I know...Graduation!!!!! Back in DC now, interviewing for a dev. job in Jamaica...how sweet would that be. Miss ya, call me sometime.

FINALLY!! Also, <blockquote>so people can see right up on stage and hear everything you say, that and that alone gives anybody the right to say whatever they want to whomever they want.</blockquote> Yeah, but the point of this post, is that I don't have to put up with people shitting in my house. They can come in, but I can certainly ask them to leave if they get rowdy and mess on my carpet. All I am asking is for people to exercise a bit of restraint when it comes to insulting the owner of this site. Nothing big, but something that was apparently necessary for me to say. Jason, congrats on the degree! FINALLY!!
