Reasons To Be Cheerful

[Wilfrid]

I may be misunderstanding, but comments always get published unless there's something problematic about them. I've never made a comment which wasn't published (I think the reference to letters is puzzling me).

They haven't published my comments saying (in effect, not exactly) the Ligaya Mishan is a terrible writer. (Well, okay, saying that pretty specifically.)

 

Letter to the Editor are different.

[Wilfrid]

Ha, well maybe that counts as problematic!

 

I wondered why MT posted about sending letters. No big deal.

I once get a letter to the editor published in Ms.

Thank you so much Wilfrid, for correcting my mistaken happiness over my letters (or should I say comments") appearing on-line. I might have continued living pleased to have my opinions posted for all who read them to see. So kind of you to relieve me of the misapprehension that this is a big deal.

 

How naive am I to have believed MFF would have become a friendly place to enjoy posting.

[Wilfrid]

Yes, you should have said comments. Letters to the editor being a quite different thing, I just didn't understand what you were trying to say.

 

The rest, I'd submit, is hardly my fault.

Lippy seemed to grasp the essence of my post, and after my indicating it was on-line, left it there. Your lack of understanding did not require you to tell me the cause of my cheerfulness is no big deal. It's the sort of gratuitous comment that represents a desire to diminish, but I would not consider it your fault. Just an indication of your nature.

[Wilfrid]

I think the original post paints your nature like a Times Square billboard. Sorry to let a little air out of the blimp.
