Why are all of your comments hidden

I get asked this a lot & i thought i'd take a second to draft a single reply. I hide my comments on my main page because i don't want any comments at all on my front page... I don't care if you thanked me for the fav... To me 90% of comments on your front page end up as achievement style pavlovian responses. If you've ever played a multiplayer game with achievement unlocks, where everyone can see them & are a major part of the game (like in WoW *shudder*), you will notice people will say "good job" or "congrats" whenever someone gets an achievement... They don't want to, its just a preprogrammed pavlovian response: Thats how i see "Thanks for the Fav."

If you want to discus a particular piece of work in my gallery there is a place for that. If you want to discus the entire gallery there is a place for that. If you want to discus my view on someone elses journal there is a place for that. If you want to flame me over following a rule & giving someone a heads up, there's a place for that too... My front page is not that place: If i could take down that particualr widget i would, but you can't.

In fact outside of the 90% of messages on my front page that are "thanks for the fav," 1% of the messages are "U y r a trull, bcase y got my friends art work of 2 peopples fuxing taken down... Y mussed be a prude, whose doesn't like sexxing." The remaining 9% are messages asking why i hide my comments... So now you know. I hide them because i don't want them on my front page: if i could get rid of the ability to write there i would.
