Don’t worry about it, man. Or woman, as the case may be. You fit in just fine.

Heck, I blog here and now and then my comments get queued. Go figure.

For a workbook example to accompany the above blog essay’s primer on bloggernacle etiquette, I offer this example. (By explanation, I was trying to use the equality test of switching male and female referrents within my one “Beck affair” comment at an LDS sister blog. (You know, the same way e/g I’d argue that one of the only prejudices to remain politically correct is anti-Mormonism, by switching the current Newsweek cover so it read “Lieberman” and “Jew” with “Romney” and “Mormon”?) So, um, anway, in my post I asked:

“If you LDS men were to imagine that you’ve chosen to be mister mom types and then you were to hear from the Conf. Center pulpit a spiritual support of the benefits and excellence of traditional gender roles, would you act in a stereotypically masculine way by, say, stoically and self-assuredly weathering its implied criticism of your choices while you accepted the positive aspects of the talk in the spirit offered or else by expressing blustery anger? Or would you be self-assured enough to discuss your feeling sensitive and hurt about your choice to find fulfillment through efforts in the domestic area seemingly not being validated?”

In reaction to which Ray immediately chimed in that it was late and trolls were coming out of the woodwork and the blogger who cleverly uses the penname of Adis Parshall (joke) helpfully explained to readers that the comment Ray was referring to was missing cuz she’d sent it to the queue. So, from this, I myself would suggest that, in general, incoherence and also not having a lot of bloggernacle bonefides could be a recipe for being queued–no? :^)

Typical community member [e/g, a Republican]: “So-’n'-so?! [e/g, Ron Paul]. Disdainfully grunts. “Well, he’s just an obvious…um, visitor here!” (mutters under breath: “the apostate troll!”) “Geez, just look! Doesn’t he sticks out in subtly general ways from the rest of us?!” (thinks: “Who are true believers”–in the clique!)

Actually, I find this easier than I would find a party conversation.
