Commenting is a two way thing. If you're cutting your FL or generally whining because people never comment maybe you should have a look at how much you comment. It only seems fair.
You're one of the few. There are some people on my FL who do nothing but complain about getting no comments when they never, *ever* comment anywhere else.
Yeah, I get really annoyed by those. I usually make sure that I have commented on at least everyone on my friends list. That's probably why I get so annoyed when they complain, because I did comment on their entries but they never comment on mine/other people's.
I usually feel bad because half of the time I intend to comment on about five times more entries than I actually do, but then I get sidetracked with other things and never make it back to comment. But then, I'm not complaining ;)
And seriously, I agree with you 100% on this. People are hypocrites.
Heh, I was just about to say this. I know I suck at commenting, but I don't mind the unspoken (and, frankly, pretty lame) rule of "if you don't comment then neither will i, bitch," because I usually don't write in my journal (...when I do actually write in it) for the sole purpose of knowing what others think about it. With picture posts, or advice posts, or certain memes when I bother to do them, I do get a little irritated when I don't get many comments -- but since I usually comment on posts of the same vein on my flist, they reciprocate and I don't get that instinctive "why is no one commenting?" feeling.
But I would never DREAM of actually saying "no one ever comments, YOU ALL HATE ME!" because ... that makes you look pathetic and needy and will make people want to comment even less. It's JUST A JOURNAL. Just because people don't comment as much as you'd like doesn't mean they hate you or have no interest in your life.
...Apparently I had a rant brewing without my knowledge. Sorry. :P
