What everyone else has said.

My brother got me started on this blog because he wanted me to stop sucking at druid tanking in BC. Although I’ve already figured out tanking to an extent, I still read your blog. The off-topic stuff has been what’s keeping me reading the blog, not the theorycrafting (theorycrafting is for lames anyways).
Please don’t stop writing!

I kinda enjoy the off topic stuff. I don’t even play a druid, in fact the only reason I found your site was through BRK’s way back when. I enjoyed it and so call back from time to time to see what’s going on.

P.S. The “Gift that Keeps of Giving” post was among the best ever. I love love love that you were the man responsible for that. The schaudenfreude is delicious.

I like reading blogs because I like reading the person. It may start off that I start reading a blog because of Wow, but listening to the person has to be the best thing about blogs, if you don’t have your personality in your writing, and its guide after guide , people will follow you because of information you have – but that is all. They aren’t reading ‘you’ less likely to stick around when you stop providing them with the information they want. No relationships are built, and you end up apologising for a offtopic post when you don’t have to.

You can write whatever you want and I’ll read it. Because knowing you it’ll be good.

You could write about the poop some dog left in your front yard and it would probably either make me think or make me laugh.

I miss a couple days then read from the top down, so I read the post about the categorization of books 1st. Whole thing. Nodding along the whole time.

I found this place from a BRK linke a couple years back I think. I didn’t (and still don’t really) play a druid.

I stayed for the writing, opinion, life stories, etc.

*shrugs* don’t stop writing for you. Some of us will still happily read it. If you DO move to a new site the way Critical QQ did, let us know where it is nice and bold like.

From the look of the comments above, it’s all been said.

We love your writing style. Fancying myself a writer, I admire the “in-your-face” eloquence of your blog and the beauty of your story. Reading your blogs and the story you’re working on gives me inspiration to write when I have to time or energy for it. The fruits of your writing are many – not just for others, but I would assume for yourself as well. If you didn’t get SOMETHING out of it, you wouldn’t continue to write.

I also stopped playing my druid about a month ago, but your writing style is enchanting, intelligent, thought-provoking and I can’t help myself when your feed arrives in my email box. Wherever I am, whenever that may be – I stop and read. And more often than not, I read it to someone else after I’m done.

I look forward to what’s next…

John, knock it off, okay? :) Seriously, the druid stuff is still right here and I still reference it and forward people to it – it’s still valuable and pertinent. But you know what else I say when I point people to your blog? I say something like this: “It’s not just a druid blog. The guy’s an entertaining writer and he does a damn good blog. You never know exactly what you’re going to get, but it’s always at least interesting and most of the times, really good.”

Just write, man. Don’t you categorize it much – let us do that :)

BBB, like many of the other readers I came here to learn how to tank, and I kept comming back because I enjoyed what I read regardless of the topic. Please don’t fall victim to the labeling you spoke out against in your latest post. Sure, this blog started as a way to express yourself about WOW and your favorite class, and maybe help out some fellow gamers along the way. However, like yourself, the readers of your blog aren’t just gamers. All of us have varied interests and thoughts about things outside the World fo Warcraft. I would never suggest you continue something that you aren’t enjoying just for my benefit, but if you proceed with this blog please feel free to write whatever comes to mind. I will continue to check in as long as you are posting.

thanks for the effort.

To be honest, I enjoy your non-WoW posts even more than your actual WoW-posts. Like that piece about the road in front of your office :)
All the WoW-related stuff, all the theorycrafting, we can find that everywhere…
It’s just the grumpy old point of view on things that makes your blog so funny. And frankly, I feel like I recognize a lot of the feelings you blog about, the things you think about situations, it’s all very recognizable :)

So do continue!

(just post a bear-wall warning next time you post something like that reading sci-fi/fantasy lol)
