Hey thanks Tyler. It's always good to get good feedback from a fellow writer; you guys know what you're talking about when it comes to comedy and writing.

Logan - very good point, although there's a lot of factors involved that I took into consideration. Me and Court hypothesized a little bit about it. I'm not going to get into all of it right now, but it got pretty detailed.

Here's what I think:

Almost every post of mine would have a 'not funny' comment of some sort on it within a day, and that got to me a little bit. I would be more critical of my articles before I would post them, ultimately not posting a lot of articles because of what the response would be. Pathetic, but it happens.

I have some ideas on what turns people off about my comedy, and also I think that my comedy doesn't really invokes a lot of positive comments, being that there's not really a moral or discussion to any of my comedy.

What it came down to is that all the negative comments were starting to affect my posting frequency, and ultimately I felt that people would start to get the impression of me that I'm not funny, because all those people or person must be right, right? People would start to think I'm not funny because of the comments, even if they would've thought of me as funny otherwise. A reputation would build that's inaccurate.

Comments just serve no really useful purpose for the type of comedy I write, or not a great enough purpose that it's worth putting up with all the other stuff.

All in all, what it comes down to is this is the right thing for me to do for the time being. My comedy will prosper (hopefully). This way, I can just write pure comedy uninhibited, without having to worry about all the unnecessary drama of comments.

But yeah, I'm a fucking pussy.
