Novice Commenter

As a fledgling commenter, I feel badly for those blogs upon which I've commented to date, especially the trollish ones early on. I'm emerging from my troll husk and I find myself something of a tiny tim. The imagery works, but nothing else, when I say 'tiny tim.' The imagery being a small voice, not very developed and somewhat ragged, but hopeful. Hopeful someone will take pity and courtesy chuckle, or as one friend put it, 'ker-chuk.'

As someone who would probably be more voracious with magazines and comic books without the advent of blogs and articles online, not to mention plenty of comics online (Diesel Sweeties, Penny Arcade and, well, the Onion to name a few) I realize I'm reading for entertainment with a side order of possibly learning something new. In a magazine or print version, there is no possibility of commenting, however, and it adds to my general interest another dimension, if you will. It is an opportunity, really, for a moment of readership, basically piggy backing on the efforts of another, more widely read author.

I have to admit, once the comment is left, I usually think to myself how pointless and pointless it is to do so, not to mention what a retarded comment. Not as bad as before, but still my comments are pretty lame.

I just know someday soon, if not right now, someone is thinking up an idea about a new book, called, The Psychology of Trolling - in which the phenomenon of a normal person changing to a rabid @$$hole is described. The title is somewhat limiting, however, because the entire Psychology of Commenting might make a more interesting book. That person, thinking up this idea, is not me, it is someone who might actually write something like that, and more importantly who might be qualified to write something like that. So key.
