I’ve been meaning to add this feature for a hot minute but as soon as I think that I have time to learn about it and make sure we aren’t screwing everything up, I forget. Putting that sentence down on paper really opens my eyes to just how lazy I can be.

“But, V— what is this amazing new feature that you’re adding to “Beats, Bears, Blogglestar Galactica”?

Oh, well I’m glad you asked!

The Collective is an idea that we’re all in this together and that while we don’t always agree, some conversation and collaboration can broaden our horizons without getting us off-track or too deep into the reeds. Into the weeds? Into the wreeds.

Comments. Specifically, your comments. Going forward, all of the blog posts on The Collective will have the comment feature enabled with a minor catch—squid pro row, if you will.

We will have to review comments and allow them to be posted so that we can avoid trolling, offensive material and comments about finding local nudes. I solemnly swear that I’m up to no goo— sorry, wrong oath.

I solemnly swear that comments will be posted regardless of their level of agreement with our point of view as long as you are engaging conversation. If you’re just saying something like, “… this is dumb and your face is stupid and you have to eat only fruit and olive oil” without any supporting information or proper hyperdrive coordinates, we can’t support that. No hate, please and thank you.

SO… without further a-dude, I give you The Cesarean.

The c-section?

The comment-section? Hello?!
