Here is to the crazy ones!

I struggled to post today quite a bit. In part because nothing was inspiring to talk about. It makes me sad to say that authors haven’t had posts approved. It makes me sad every time I have to say that.

I keep hearing the moderate word on the site about posts. The admins indeed do not moderate. Introvert, Thomas G, RassmaSandra, Carol, Ghostwriter, and others have all suggested they ask the authors to moderate the posts. I think that is a good idea, just not sure it could/would be implemented, but it is a good idea, so who cares, full speed ahead!

I’ve decided to take positive steps with the site!

1. THANK YOU, THANK YOU< THANK YOU to every single person that has commented during this ½ comment outage. I see the names of the people that comment and I promise you, I will get to your posts and do my best to share them and comment. I genuinely appreciate your acting, as my grandfather used to say “ethically” while the lights are out!
2. Thank you as well to those still here, still posting and sharing, although not commenting. You are also valuable, and thank you for not jumping ship yet!

It is a challenging situation all the way around sometimes. All of us have lives away from this site, and there are pain and issues in our real-world experiences. The additional stress of watching the comment ticker go up without being able to remove comments is disheartening. But look at who is still here! I love the quote Apple used to use in their commercial.

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things, they push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
