Yes, I know it’s my third post of the day.
It is rare to find Sipu and Janus agreeing; it is almost miraculous for me to agree with both of them. But on this occasion I have to say that they have a point. Such a fundamental point that our honoured leader, Boadicea, might even consider it for inclusion in her site guidelines. They have chimed a chord, they have struck the right note, they have sung in harmony.
“WTF”, I hear some of you cry, “is Bearsy on about?”
The rest of you might exclaim, with greater decorum, “My goodness!”
Let me ease you gently from those tenterhooks and explain.
S & J (or is it J & S) have recently concluded that the enjoyment of posting comes primarily from the writing; from that solitary feat of authorship. Furthermore, they have jointly recognised that the success of a post is a matter to be judged by the author alone.
How liberating! I heartily commend their philosophy. 😀
Boadicea's Chariot 
Backside says he was just joshin’! 🙂
Janus – We all know that frontside and backside have to disagree – on principle! 🙂
Boa, it is such a comfort that you recognise my eternal dilemma! 🙂
Oh my goodness, does this give us carte blanche to indulge our literary fantasies without according the least concern for the opinions of our peers? Sounds great, but I am sure that we will all suffer a little twinge of agony when some of our more egregious opinions or grammatical errors are exposed and laid bare for all to see.
No, what it means is that when all the other Charioteers savage your opinions to shreds with feral tooth and nail, you can casually shrug and remark, “Well, I enjoyed writing it”. 😆
So, Bearsy, next time I get ursinely savaged for what I write – or don’t write – in response to some other blogger, I shall comfort myself with your thought. Or does this only apply to posts and not comments?
Gawd – do I ever disagree with you, Sheona?
It wasn’t me Miss, a big boy did it and ran away. 🙄
This has long been my opinion, and given the size of my readership, my only comfort.
