A Tale of Two Disparate Anonymous Comments

[Bodington]

In my very first submission published in Literotica way back on Jan 5, 2010, I received the following anonymous comment which I quote verbatim:
“m,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,”

In contrast, in my recent submission, a contribution to the Yay Team 2024 challenge, I received the following 539 words comment which I also quite verbatim:
“There is a very thin line between having a great vocabulary and being snobbish.
I am a Tax Accountant by trade, which means I can read and understand very difficult and precise language. My gift according to my clients (and even those involved in my Tax Court briefs) they appreciate how I take a complex matter and turn it into everyday words that anyone can understand.
It is not that I am adverse to reading material that use words which make it harder to understand than it should be, it is not something I enjoy reading for entertainment.
One of the things I have always done with my clients is to show an interest in their life. So we start the meeting talking about their family and what is new in the past year, during that time I am working on their tax return. I rarely have to ask tax questions because the documents speak for themself (these are established clients). Each client gets an hour of my time...even though I am done with the return in about half or that time. I take that time to ask them what is new an exciting in their career. Which has lead to many very interesting conversations. It gives them a chance to tell someone else in the world what they do day in and day out (if it is not classified).
And, I am always interested, it is not just a ploy. Currently my most interesting discussion with a client was about a scientific paper his coworker that is about to be released. It is about a brand new theory in Cosmology. If he is right, and I think he is, this will bring new light to the Big Bang theory. as well as the expanding universe theory. C.H. Ross is as smart as Stephen Hawking. I was so interested that I took him out to lunch and we talked another hour while he explained it to me. The theory is based on the age of the universe, as the universe ages it grows larger and the empty space between any two given points expands....etc.. After about thirty minutes of his explanation, I asked him do you realize what you are explaining to me. He said he had no idea, I asked how does a baby start...just like this theory it grows by dividing and and doubling. My client laughed and said so you think the universe is like a baby. Yes, before you dismiss it think about it, it is another universal constant. It is a simpler way to describe what he believes happened. He did think about it and actually called his coworker and asked him what he thought about my statement, Mr Ross said while it was very simplistic, it was accurate. That is the my point in this entire drawn out story...you can take something very complex and make it simple enough for a normal person to care about and want to listen to or read.
This story was hard to read to just like the actual tax laws (not talking about the IRS instructions), it is not something I would choose to read for entertainment while relaxing.
I really hope this helps in your future.”

At least in the latter comment there is something there in which I can reply to, but since it is anonymous I have no way to ensure a dialogue for exchange of viewpoints. The former comment is too cryptic that it defies comprehension. I actually counted and discovered that there are 40 commas between ‘m’ and ‘mm’, 43 commas between ‘mm’ and ‘mmm’ and finally 38 commas after ‘mmm’.

“m,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,”

Just this? Pussy.

...I mean, actual pussy. Of the feline kind. This is clearly a cat laying on someone's keyboard.

Maybe the number of commas are a secret code to indicate the breasts-waist-hips measurements?

A plausible explanation which actually might be the actual measurements of my depicted avatar. However back in 2010 I had a different avatar of a woman much slimmer.

The first one had just gotten off which they see as the purpose of reading here.

The other hasn't gotten off in forever, and doesn't even know how to so in the midst of reading an erotic story this is what their mind does

First commenter is a much happier person

That's a novel twist on a critique: by a Tax Accountant. Add cosmology. I'm not exactly sure what to make of that!

 

[Comshaw]

first commenter: Occam's Razor, the simplest explanation for a thing is usually the correct one. I think he or she enjoyed the story and tried to express that in a way to describe how they felt about it.

Second commenter: It's telling if you look at the actual words he used to describe/critique your story as opposed to those he used to tell about himself. He used 76 words to comment on your story (if you don't count the first sentence and 90 words with it). That means out of the whole comment he spent 85.9% of it (or 83.4% with the first sentence) talking about himself. Hmmmm...curious isn't it?

What a bizarre comment! I am into your Yay Team story right now BTW, and it is certainly not provoking thoughts like that in me!!! Plus, if my tax accountant started asking me weird shit about my life like that, I'd think they were up to no good!

 

[MillieDynamite]

Accountants, you got-to-something them. What? I dunno. When someone says they're not adverse and are being adversarial, they damn sure are lying.

“I can read and understand very difficult and precise language.”
“It is not that I am adverse…”

Adverse?

I work with someone whose every. Single. Email. Is like this.

Your accountant chap reminds me of a Terry Pratchett line from The Nightwatch, where a character hides an important document somewhere it is absolutely impossible for anyone to ever find it: Tucked into a copy of 'Anecdotes of the Great Accountants, Volume 12'.

Thank you two especially for expressing your take on the first commentor. I've never deleted this comment as it has been intriguing me continuously for the past fourteen years. Your explanations seem to be truly plausible and so I need no longer remain nonplussed. As to the second commentator, all I can say is that his very last line about wishing that his comment would be helpful to me in the future seems be disingenuous and smacks of sophistry.
