First step in making a better world for all of us, especially me

Our current shenanigans provide me with an opportunity to fix something that bothers me and, I expect, you as well.

My posts don't seem to get a lot of comments.  Sometimes, just two or three.  The comments' quality is good and people are generally appreciative of what I write.  I can't complain about that and I thank all who have commented before.  I just get jealous of those posts that lead to rambling conversations involving 20+ comments.

I figure this is my best chance yet for comment glory.

    Shall we do it like the super-popular blogs? (E.g. FIRST!)

    Or would you prefer substance?

    If you consider me an a-hole, do you still want me to comment?

    Kidding aside, I always enjoy your posts, though I don't always have something to say.

    This place is going completely off the rails. It's been the most interesting week of CM so far.

    And. I. Keep. Missing. It. (or just sliding it at the edges)

    But I love me a "Beaker Ben" post, always and ever.

    I'll comment on your post, Ben.

    BB, come on man, your contributions in comments seem to get the most attention...not that you hijack comments, heavens no. But you typically deliver some of CM's finer smartassery there.

    I'll comment as soon as my KlugScheisser-Pro! finishes downloading. I want to try out the postcolonial genderqueer Marxist attachment. I paid extra.

    Hey Ben,

    Are you an asshole for wanting more comments? Or am I an asshole for calling you an asshole for being the kind of asshole who wants more comments? I get really fucking confused sometimes. I guess that makes me the asshole here, right?

    Anyway, I just wanted to say, good fucking job making me laugh, you asshole.

    No, Archie, you are the *complete fucking asshole*. Asshole.

    I loved your post. I really thought it was part of the hijacking, however. I still don't believe it's your real post, because your picture is not on it.

    Score!

    Meanwhile, can't everyone help a Beaker out? Only 12 comments so far. Pathetic...

    We might hear from Stella, after she's done emailing vitriol to the mods.

    The image wouldn't necessarily be proof that it really is BB. Someone posted with my name and used my image as well.

    Either way, keep on truckin' BB. I like your stuff.

    I will comment here to say that I have no fucking idea why some of these posts in the last few days have appeared, or disappeared, or what -- or what this blog is even about anymore. But I *ALWAYS* appreciate a Beaker Ben appearance, with or without pictures.

    I can't imagine Stella e-mailing vitriol to the mods. I've never done it, and I'm going to lay down a bet that the majority of those Real Goddamned E-mails were from men, and only one or two men at that. If Wilhelm cares to share some stats, I bet they'd be enlightening.

    Ooh, I hadn't thought of that, F&T, but I also wouldn't mind hearing the stats. Just at the moment though I think they're dealing with more malicious attacks from a seriously unbalanced asshole.

    Goddamnit! Do I have to do everything around here? Here you go Ben, this'll get you to 20.

    And one more puts you over 20.

    You're welcome.

    Many times the comments I would make are already made by someone else. I would not want to see, as on some blogs I read, a list of
    Plus 1 dude
    or right on etc,etc

    Ben, I live my life knowing that 99.9 percent of the time, I'm shouting into the ether. Here's my shout to you from etherland.
