As most folks don't know, I am a quasi-member of eHarmony. No, not a PAYING member. But I do "belong" (a poor choice of a word, I admit) to the "eHarmony Advice" message board. Now although I have never used any crude or vulgar language when constructing my various posts and comments, a number of them have been quite critical of a number of posts thrown up by several members. But I have done my best to show no mercy and/or tolerance for those threads started by the geniuses employed by eHarmony (which would be, I suppose, the "eHarmony Advice" team).
Many of their questions are inane, banal, ill-conceived, poorly worded and structured, general and abstract to the point of complete and utter contentlessness and just plain meaningless (both functionally and, of course, intrinsically and inherently). My deepening impressions are that these questions are devised by people who either never made it out of junior high school or did so but just barely. These questions expose the preconceptions and presumptions (and ignorance) of the questioneers. Since some of my comments do not meet with their apparent approval, some of my comments have been reviewed (prior to posting, after I hit the "send" prompt) and, as a result of those reviews, have not been posted. Thus they have been disallowed, as in denied, as in not permitted, as in negated.
Well, of course. Whatever those delicate geniuses-insightful social scientists (and budding amateur psychologists) decide, it's their board and their site and their game. And I'm fairly sure they are so stupendously sincere and waywardly well-meaning. They are also, however, weasels. But they have to play their little games. Fine. I'll play mine. Now whatever good things eHarmony accomplishes--and there may be a few, I might admit--such things are easily and effortlessly negated by the absurd myths and pernicious embellishments that the post-modern mind creates and then readily accepts and believes in. My calling is nothing more (or less) than repudiating such twaddle-like piffle. And, being the fair, just and noble person I aspire to be, it is my pleasure and honor to do just that. And I even do it for free!
Now for all those writers, columnists, thinkers and drinkers out there that have even taken eHarmony to task for any legitimate and valid reason whatsoever, thank you all very, very much. This naturally includes Mrs. Michelle Malkin, who once upon a fine time ripped eHarmony (and its founder) for caving into the gay-homosexual-lesbian-bi-sexual-trangendered-multi-gendered-hermaphrodite lobby and coming up with something for them and theirs, which is exactly what a private company or business ought to do. Not. Quite. But some folks would rather take the money and run (or walk away quickly), so what can anyone really do?
Some people in life (and even after life) want their cake and then they want to eat it, too. Okay. But if they are so inclined, let them choke on it. That's what I call just desserts.
