I get a lot of email about my blog posts at AfterElton.com, particularly when I blog about Gale Harold as I did last night. The traffic shoots through the roof on those posts, but the comments? Nada.
Most of the private emails I get are from female Queer as Folk fans saying the kinds of things our readers normally post on the blog itself. When I've asked some of them why they don't comment right on my post, some say they feel like they shouldn't participate at AfterElton.com because it's a site for gay men.
Hello, I write there and I am a girl. Lots of women, lesbian, bi, and straight, post at AfterElton. Yes, it's a gay and bisexual men's entertainment media site, and yes, most of the site users are gay men. But I have it on the best authority that everyone is welcome to post there.
So if you have something nice to say, by all means, say it there.
If you want to tell me I suck or share girly supersekrit information, well, best to keep that to yourself. ;)

I tried to comment on your other post, but it won't let me. *kicks your blog*
I still like you, though.
