We, your humble servants, your serfs, your wretched, ill-clad peasants who toil ceaselessly in the word fields harvesting our meager crops of ideas to feed the maw of your mighty empire, do humbly beseech you, have we angered you in some way?
Many are the ways in which you express your displeasure with us, from turning our comments to spam to making those changes we have no need nor want of. But now, your lowly workers have noticed that the ‘View Archive’ portion of our ‘Notification’ drop down menus are ceaselessly turning their little wheels whilst never delivering of us the older comments.
Far be it from such unimportant personages as we to dare to ask that you explain to us the motives under which you perform you miracles, but if you would deign to honor us with this morsel of information, great would be our joy, and the outpouring of our gratitude and worship would fill the cathedrals of pure, golden radiance in which thou, our master must assuredly dwell.
Pouring My Art Out 
Suck up much?
It is sarcasm
Are you turning into some kind of prophet? Are you prostelyzing to we the masses who lay our heads before your feet? We should burn the evil WordPress and its dastardly antics. We should shred the remains in a … a shredder, and then consume the detritus, afterwards excreting the sodden remains into the mouth of a shark.
Hmmm, suddenly my blog is moving slower… slower…
no… I I serve the overlords… the exalted overlords…
They are cruel masters.
no… I loves them…
But do they love you?
that is up to them
No it’s not. It’s up to us. We are them and they are us.
and we all hosed together
Indubitably.
not in a good way
Oh, it’s not just me? I thought it was because I was fiddling with the [technobabble blah blah blah redacted].
ha… I thought they were sending me a message
Art have you pissed off wordpress? Anyway, the poem is on my blog here is the link Lucy
I had to reblog that… that was awesome-sausage-squeezings
weird… when I reblogged it, it shows up on my blog with these strange A’s all over it… I may have to take it down, copy it from your blog, and then post it here.
it’s linked to your blog.
Is that what causes that?
Only for you. it seems. I just followed your link and it looks fine.
well try looking at it on my blog.
Oh, and don’t put anything they may not like on the WP blog, they won’t moderate it. I tried something yesterday with the “Time to take it back” or whatever it was called. I found where they said about that and I commented that it does not look how they describe or show it, and that it takes up half the screen, not the bar at the bottom. Went back later and it was still in moderation, with other comments around it. So I asked why my last comment was still in moderation – stayed in moderation. Then I thought i would try something. I said “So is there an option to do a half screen or full screen?” and I got a response for that. Seems like we don’t actually have free speech with WordPress. They are irritating me more and more. I am starting to think about going to a different blog thing or giving up completely.
There is a wordpress blog???
Yeah. Where they give their information on things. en.wordpress.com or something like that. I was pretty well pissed at that.
I ain’t going there
Yeah I got that. How the hell can I reply to what people have commented? Grrrr
Just a thought … you brought down the archive section with your 20,000+ comment post? Too many comments in one place. The system couldn’t handle it.
I actually wondered about that
Well, now that you mention it…great.
!
huh?
I didn’t realize it wasn’t there until you pointed it out. 🙂
oh… well, you’re welcome… or sorry…
I noticed the same issues. I can use my phone for short comments and replies, but anything else is a hassle.
BTW, I “Liked” this because I love the way it is written, it made me smile even if the issue is aggravating.
yay sarcasm!!!
You’re using that like the royal “we”, right?
My issues with wp lately haven’t included that one.
It is happening to lots of people… but not you… so you must be the royal ‘we’… or ‘they’… or something
Nah. I just stay under their radar.
😉
I forgot I was doing that too…
The wheel on my page keeps on turning. Don’t know what I’ll see tomorrow.
Small wheel keep on turnin’
Proud Mary keep on waiting for the stupid wheel to stop turning…
On every page, turn, turn, turn
Can’t view the comments, turn, turn, turn
build thou and archive… 40 cubits by 40 cubits it shall be…
Ah, ah, ah, ah, spinnin’ archive, spinnin’ archive
endless bummer…
There have been a couple of major issues today. You made no one angry today, except possibly your wife. I wouldn’t know.
The programmers who now have to find fixes to all these glitches, they’re probably angry but not at you..
not at me yet…
I’m not liking the post because of the issue. I am liking the post to show my support. Rally the troops Sir Arthur…we attack at dawn!
Are we unleashing the flaming beavers of war again???
They can never take our COMMENT ARCHIVE! Well, it didn’t have that same FREEDOM feel to it, but it’s okay. Flaming Beavers? Great band name…
It goes way back… my head minion is Canadian… we have unleashed the flaming beavers of revolution against the overlords before.
Ahh…well I don’t want to be responsible for the flaming beavers.
I have been in enough trouble with wordpress…
I know!! I was wondering about this, I just noticed it today and thought it was just a glitch on my page. I hope they fix it soon, it’s hard to reply to comments without it (for me anyway).
Me too… and I like to stretch my sarcasm muscles now and then… HA!
Hey, it’s working again! *happy dance*
It is… I finally won a battle with them… ha!
