Every article I write here — hundreds — has at least one comment by someone who either a) hasn’t read the article, only the headline; or b) may have read, but paid little attention in their rush to say what they want to say.

The way Medium works, these commenters could choose to leave a courteous comment on another writer’s article and write one of their own expressing their own opinion.

But the way our society works, that’s not an option for these folks.

I recently wrote about how unfunny, sad, and lame I find today’s version of Saturday Night Live, a late night television sketch comedy show that’s been on the air for most of my life.

I invited readers to put examples of today’s current show to encourage me (and others) to give the show another chance. Or heck, even ‘prove me wrong’ even though this is my opinion and —

I’m not Jordan Peterson.

One chap put the last names of three performers, none of whom have been on the show for a decade or longer.

Another?
