Today's Chuckle

Tim fires off an angry column about a frustrating experience on the phone, only to have commenters point out that he just failed to follow clear instructions.

    I get it, but YOU don't. Census Day is when they wanted the forms back, but if you didn't get a form call the number, but you need an ID number you didn't get or you have to wait until later, which is after the date they wanted the forms back, and now they will pay someone to send someone else to your door because you didn't send the form in because you didn't have the ID number you didn't get. Some people don't understand how screwed up this government is. Good insight on Tim's part.

    As I read it, Tim agrees that he ignored the instructions to call back later.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
