Well, I did a bad thing...

I normally refrain from commenting on other people's blogs (other than my brother's). If I do post a comment, then I like for it to be somewhat anonymous, because the internet is full of very bad people. However, today as was using the "Blogger NavBar" to randomly sample blogs, I ran across "A Blog of Rage" (be wary about perusing this site if you are easily offended by liberal ideas or foul language). The author had posted an entry about Social Security and for some strange reason I felt compelled to comment for no other reason than just drive a socialist looney, so I cut-and-pasted excerpts from an earlier post I wrote.

I am kind of regretting commenting now because I drew the attention to myself. See, it didn't take long for the author to find my blog. Morbid curisoity drew me back to the site this evening to see what kind of reaction I had ignited. I got two people commenting on my comments. One is a idealouge who thinks the best way to handle an opposing idea is to call someone a name, while the other person (and original author) appears to be a well-reasoned guy who respects various ideas, even when he disagrees with them.

Then, to top off my unpredicatable behaviour, I have replied to thier replies. What is wrong with me? Am I out of my mind? I know that I will not change anyone's mind. I am just in a cantankerous mood and want to get under the skin of some stranger out there in cyberspace. Lesson learned. I did a bad thing and must vow to never, ever comment with stuff I have previously written.
