Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor. . . . . .Your Anonymous Comments
My personal enjoyment of blogs like the BROWNSVILLE VOICE, El Rrun Rrun and the currently dormant Brownsville Literary Review is greatly enhanced by the comments section. Jerry's new offering Downtown Browntown does not offer the service, forcing readers to simply curse him under their breath. My beginner blog, Mean Mister Brownsville, has been greatly hampered not only by the lame writing, but also by the comments being limited to only those with Google accounts or willing to provide their email addy. Now, the training wheels are off! I accidentally discovered what I should have known all the time. The comments section can be adjusted to allow anonymous comments. I feel as giddy as the future mayor of Brownsville who will have the foresight to introduce and successfully steer the passage of the reinstitution of the broadcast of public comments at City Commission meetings. "Free at last. Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Good job Jim.
ReplyDeleteGood move and congratulations,
ReplyDeleteBy "accident" I found your blog. You dont know who I am, I dont know who you are, really, I DONT, but if your blog speaks the truth about our hometown then, let it be.

Girl from B'ville,
ReplyDeleteHopefully, there will be some information here. Please feel free to correct or disagree. That's why I love the anonymous posting. We have a large, but close-knit community. Sometimes we don't speak up, not so much because of fear, but because of personal relationships.
Jim
Congrats from one of the three readers of Jerry's past. You will get information, some of it true and some will be patent self-serving bullshit. It will be up to the reader to discern which is which. Adoring crowds of sock puppets will come to the defense of the wicked. This too must be discerned by the reader. In short, open anonymous comments require a smarter audience. 'I read it on the internet, so it must be true.' won't cut the mustard in this environment.
ReplyDeleteJerry's current and past readers are more than welcome here as is Jerry. With the vacuum left by the Brownsville Herald, the blogs have become the pulse of this town, albeit with an irregular heart beat.
