I have noticed when talk turns to political discourse no one comments but I get quite a few hits as far as traffic. Other than chasing away my regular readers, what am I not doing right? What would make those that are coming here actually comment? I know that not everyone agree’s with me, is the comment link not obvious? Or do I make it sound like I don’t want comments? Come on people, work with me here! Say something, even dissent is better than silence. Just keep in mind that if you become beligerent I will more than likely delete you, I try to keep it PG here!

Perhaps it’s a matter of brevity. Anymore, if I can’t leave my comment in a few quick sentences, then I feel I’m being overbearing. I don’t like to leave post-length comments like I used to. And most of my political comments could end up that way – especially if I disagree with what’s been posted.
Maybe, I understand why a few of my regulars are not commenting on the political posts, although I invite dissenting opinions as well as favorable. I am more curious about the unspoken masses that have been here lately. I have been seeing quadruple the normal traffic lately but no one is commenting. Maybe that is for the best though as I don’t know what these people are coming here looking for other than the search engine hits.
I’m just not very political. I listen to what people say, and keep up with the news, but just don’t talk about politics. To me, it’s just a fact of life.
Focus, please. I came here seeking discussions about photography, I have found political opinion and religion.
What are the two things that you should not discuss at parties?
If I want talk of politics I will seek a political blog.
If I want talk of faith I will seek a faith-based blog.
I came here seeking discussions about photography, I leave here seeking discussions about photography.
I understand your displeasure. The fallen1.com domain was, for the longest time, a photography portal. Due to a lack of interest and over proliferation of photography portals, I decided it was time to move on. This site is now all about whatever is on top of my mind at the time.
I have started a new site which will be photography centric although mostly around my photography. It was discussed in the post above the one you commented on. The new site is http://www.jeffallenphoto.com
Please feel free to come back and tell me how horrid my photo skills are or tell me about the new lens you just bought. I will be adding a discussion board to the domain in the near future.
Dear wink, I know of your dislike of political talk, so I wasn’t aiming that at you, or even any of my regular readers. More at the several hits per day I am getting who are saying nothing. And au contrair, but I do get boring, a lot!
