Did you just ding-dong ditch my entries? [13+]

Here I go again. But something Norb posted 5 years ago (that I just read today) leads to this entry. I did try to read most of the 30 day blog challenge entries. I mostly succeeded in commenting, but commenting seems to be a lost skill along with communication, conversation...

Do people either not have anything to say or they are too afraid to say it? Or tired of drama. Maybe everyone got worn out by the social media fights and have gone back to their own corner of the boxing ring. I dunno. It's still hard to talk about anything.

Fivesixer in a BT entry "This one's about policies, protections, and musical purging."  from 2016 stated:

#1 If you're gonna be here, say somethin'. Don't make me go into the WDC Statistics for this item and let me find out you've been here without at least sayin' hey. That's rude. I'd never just show up on your doorstep and ring your doorbell and leave if you ain't home and then not tell you about it. And comin' here to read is even worse if you ding-dong ditch my entries...you came here to read somethin', and I gave your ass somethin' to read, so you best at least say what's up. Even if you don't like it. I don't do this for my health! (Ok, I do do this in part for my health, but that ain't the damn point.) You made your click-effort to get here. You read it. You jus' gon' leave like that? Without sayin' a word? Shame on you, and shame on your mama for not teachin' you better! There! I done damn said it!

Yep, It's still a problem Norb! (I did leave a comment even though it's an old entry.)

It's not about the rating. This is a [13+] entry in a [13+] blog. It's about whether we writers can share our life and get any feedback or support, either for our writing or for us personally. Writer's are people too!

runningwolf04 has been back blogging for a couple months now. I'm sure she would love to hear from you.
"Invalid Item"  New state, new job... starting over. Say hello maybe?

I've left messages in "Notebook" for members who don't have a blog. So many ways to communicate.

Today I really should reply to reviews, messages, a request for a trinket. I still owe a postcard. It's almost 2 p.m. and all I want to do is go home and take a nap. I bought potatoes and an onion at market, was gifted a pear. I had a lime-vanilla shake at Butterfly Herbs. I'm toast.

This evening maybe I'll read some blogs and comment. I usually do. And I need to start writing for "Journalistic Intentions"  and decide where to put them.

If you've started a new blog or think that I might not know about your ongoing one, please leave a link. Same with an entry you wish to bring to my attention.
