The Debates and Looking for the Natural
Terms by Lehman ^ | 6/28/19 | K. Lewis

Posted on 06/28/2019 10:07:54 AM PDT by K. Lewis

Candidate debates expose democracy for what it is; fickle, unstable, misleading, and fraught with dangers. It’s about persuading rather than truth.

How much traffic is your blog getting as a result of this?

I’m guessing not much.
Sure looks like nobody is showing you any love.

Blogging is hard, isn’t it?

Demonetized by natural selection so to speak...

Most things are, son, and especially blogs.

I've been advised to inform you publicly that your blog has caused fibromyalgia on my nipples.

We at least got to see some fainting goats in the post above yours; so the thread was not a total waste of time.

Good question.
I wanted to use the Jittery Goat mainly for fiction; short stories and excerpts from my novels. And thus use Terms by Lehman for non-fiction stuff.
It is uncertain whether it is a good idea or not but it made sense.

Actually, humblegunner, I’ve been blogging for a number of years. The Jittery Goat has had its own .com site and Wordpress. Although my numbers are not large, for a private blogger I’m quite satisfied with the results. My Jittery Goat.com (which is about to expire and not to be confused with The Jittery Goat on blogspot) has had over 200,000 visits the last two years.
Of all the blogs I’ve had, I would estimate I’ve had over 1,000,000 views.
To answer your original question, you’re right, I don’t get very much traffic from this site—about 30 hits.
I do this because I enjoy it. It’s that simple. If I turn out a good piece that’s all the matters to me. Someone reading it is inconsequential.

I'm sorry. I hope you find work.

Lord help us.

I don’t get very much traffic from this site—about 30 hits.

I'm glad. It should be less than that.

I do this because I enjoy it.

Yeah, so do serial killers and perverts.

Yay you.

Calling me son? Why not call me boy?
Are you Joe Bidan?
Anyway, at my age, I take that as a compliment.
I make every effort to write honestly.
Often when debates occur, a debater gets painted in a corner and has to start making up facts.

I’m 76. Old enough to call you son?

And anyway, it’s no insult.

Blogs are all about persuasion. Not that it’s
a bad thing, it just is.

And a debater who’d lie before acknowledging
defeat is a coward and a fraud.

So what stopped you from posting the whole thing?
You just forgot?

Well, sir, you have me beat but not by much, so call me son.
