Subtitle: even sucky bloggers have feelings too.
After doing this for 800 years or so now, I'm pretty thick skinned. It's sort of necessary. Though occasionally I do get a bit peeved when people suggest that I don't spend any time on this blog, or that I hate the commenters, or whatever. Whatever the quality of this sucky enterprise - and people are entitled to their opinions! - it takes up an immense amount of my time and is in its own weird way rather stressful. Trying to gently nudge the comments section in the right direction is also a lot more time consuming than people think.
Not really complaining, just sharing. Because I know you care.
