Why waste time with the ankle-biters?

A good question from the always well-reasoned Roland Dobbins, a consistent reader of the blog and interlocutor, who says it does nothing to add to my vision and makes me seem petty in even bothering to make such criticisms.

Roland, as he so often is, is completely correct.

It does make me seem petty.

But it also makes me seem highly protective of the vision, which I am.

And it makes me seem human, which is also part of the vision.

The blog will never become a careful presentation. It will never become a calculating venue for my public persona.

It will always remain exactly as it began: very real and very real time.

As I have said before, when that ends, it ends.

But again, Roland is right, so I will desist from further iterations on this subject. Just had to vent when confronted with such an obvious example.
