Hit and Run Commentary

Remember the golden rule of multiple choice tests? Don't change your answer. Your first choice is almost always right.

Being a consumate people watcher, I find it a bit odd the amount of hit and run commentary my blog receives.

It's those who make comments in a fleeting moment of intestinal fortitude I'm referring to. They get hyped up about something that was written and respond with what they really want to say.

And then reality sets in.

So they delete their truth, sometimes replacing it with something softer. Or, sometimes they don't replace it at all. Either way, their real thoughts are lost.

I don't know why I find that sad. When I go back and read some of my comments on other blogs or my postings on this blog, I often cringe at what I wrote. Did I really write that? Yeesh! What was I thinking?

But my preference is to leave my original thought. Let the world know what I was thinking at that moment. I've been wrong before. And, mathematically, the chances are I'll be wrong again. I'm okay with that. No sense in hiding from the truth.
