I Love My Readers

 October.20th.2005 • 1:00AM No Comments

This is the story of a guy and his readers. He loves his readers, and hopefully his readers love him. Maybe.

I love my readers, and you should love yours. Treat them with respect, courtesy and dignity. Without them, it doesn’t matter how loud you are, they’re the ones that listen. My readers are my support.

This is the story of a guy and a concept. This concept however, is something said guy sort of came up with out of the blue. The concept is about being loud while blogging and even tries to throw in a Full Metal Alchemist reference for kicks.

The more readers you have extends the volume of your voice. The louder and more trusted you are the more it extends the reach of your ideals.

Just like Full Metal Alchemist has the rule of equivalent exchange, our blogosphere has a few rules of it’s own. This I believe, is one of them. Although it seems obvious, many people don’t realize how true this is. It is one of the few things I have learned over the past few months.

Let’s take a drastic example shall we?

Dave Shea is loud. Doug Bowman is loud ...
