Wirecutter On Blogging

Word:
Once again folks, I’d like to point out that ‘Donate’ button in my sidebar.
I’ve always said that this blog is a labor of love, but I’ll be the first to admit that it’s also a colossal pain in the ass. I spend way more time online than I care to admit, and not just doing the posting and comment moderating.
Actually, that’s the easy part. It’s digging up material that really kicks my ass.
Yea. I hear that. I don’t post nearly as much as he does, but I do like to post on esoteric things, thematic issues here at TCJ (gun rights, philosophy, theology, politics, firearms mechanics, open carry, etc.), and don’t like to post what other people have done. Why would I do that – there would be no reason to post at all.
It’s not really the posting itself, or the moderation of comments, that takes the massive amount of time. It’s finding items of thematic interest so that the blog has a purpose, or crafting your own prose and essays.
That’s so hard, and really time consuming. If you’re so inclined, hit his tip jar.
As for me, I’ve got some things to communicate in the coming days, and some prayer requests to make.
Thank you for your patronage.

Thank you. I hope all is well. If there’s anything I can do, just holler.

Yes, Cap’n, thank you, very much.
And while I am on a thanksgiving kick, than you so much for choosing to moderate your own comments. I remember when you used Disqus, and then Disqus required anyone using them to give up editorial rights to their comment section.
Disqus is positively evil, as is the sniveling piece of shit behind them, the self-loathing jew, Soros. I have posted plenty of comments that deserve to be removed, but usually only after provocation from Disqus, but when they go after non-offensive comments merely because the assclown moderators disagree, well… fuck them. I have no love lost for sites that continue to use Disqus either – including Breitbart and Townhall.
Actual comments removed by leftist mods:
“When the idiots self identify, it makes it easier for the normal people.”
“The gloves are off, white people.”Academia”, “journalists”, pols, leftists… They all hate you.”
“Very succinctly put, sir.”
“Hey, leftists, 3 white guys own your Demonrat poll. LMAO at your hypocrisy.”
I know it is unchristian of me, but it would not bother me if the leftists that want to censor others with whom they disagree burn in eternal damnation. Thank you again for going through the trouble of moderating your own posts, Herschel.
