Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

After some thought I decided to prohibit the Anons, at least until things calm down.

Yeah, the surgery is over (see my "it's over it's over" chant.)  But boy am I feeling some serious pain now!

If anyone is around, I am waiting for the next round of pain medicine to take effect, and sitting in chat!

Louise, I'm delightfully surprised to be hearing from you so soon, so I'm hoping the surgery was a success! I was praying for the doctor's skill and your continued healing.

I saw your author's note and have to sadly agree. I read those angry posts and I just don't get it. Why read something that gets you so upset? I quit reading a story when it is no longer an entertaining or learning experience to continue. The vitriol in those posts upsets the delicate balance of love and support that I find and need in your pages and on this forum. It is fair to question the plot points in an intelligent and calm fashion, but to rant is unnecessary and disturbing.

You have many faithful and supportive readers and I'm proud to say I'm one of them.

Yes, I think that at least for the time being, it is the right thing to do to cut down on the free rein of rants.  I find them mildly amusing and silly, but I know that there are a lot of readers to the Laramie Saga, and it is upsetting many people who are enjoying the story, and I believe that the troll rants are designed most of all to upset you guys.

At this point I am not going to allow anonymous comments.

Yep, I'm sort of up and down between here and the bed, but make no mistake...  I am hurting, and would like nothing more than to get another one of those anesthesia shots right now.

Ryan - just wanted to compliment you on the great artwork!

Louise - yeah, surgery is over!  I hope the pain meds help...  (i'll check in to chat in a wee bit)

Re: LJ comments: isn't there a way to screen comments before they appear?  or is that what you didn't want to do 'cause it felt like censorship?  I think whatever you decide to do is fine... It's like moderators screening the boards, or teachers sending disruptive students to the principal's office.  Regardless, you don't want the ranting and raving distracting from reading the story...

Louise,

Good to see you up posting and chatting after your surgery.  Look forward to new chapters.  AACCKKK!  Junior and Curt fighting infront of Ennis,  The Brides father. !
Hell hath no furry like that of a father protecting his daughter.

I find I must comment on the current drama surrounding Ennis and Ellery’s trip to BBM.

My thoughts on the matter are simply;  If the original author, Anne Proulx doesn’t mind  why should anyone else?   Get a life,  Ennis is!

I Hope that Ennis and Ellery going to BBM is the start of closure for Ennis.  He isn’t going to forget Jack, but Jack is dead and Ennis is living. And when Jack died, it is only then that Ennis realizes what mistakes have been made, what opportunities missed. (Original theme to the story?)  And it is my belief that if Jack had lived, nothing would have changed.  They would still be seeing each other 2-3 times a year.  Here it is 2006 and two old men horse back riding up the mountain ….

Louise,  Keep on, Keepin on!  Feel better

Best Wishes
Bob
