Top 11 comments that get deleted
Koosi would just delete everything.
1. The comment in an excessively familiar tone, unless you are a close friend.
2. The comment that addresses me as “Ate”. I know this is supposed to be respectful, but it makes me feel like you’re asking to take the day off, and I don’t have a maid. I do have one sister, and she doesn’t call me Ate.
3. The comment with the long preamble about how much you want to be a writer. You want to be a writer, write something. No need to announce it.
4. The comment about how much my work has influenced your own writing, which would’ve been nice if your grammar weren’t atrocious, which makes me feel that I have failed you. (We do allow grammatical errors, but aspiring writers must meet a higher standard.)
5. The comment about how everybody says you sound like me, which you really should take as an insult. (They’re calling you a copy. Slap them.)
6. The comment that was obviously composed with a thesaurus in an effort to impress. The fact that you bother to leave a comment is impressive enough, thank you.
7. The comment designed to show how much smarter you are than everyone else. Why so insecure? In the words of a psychiatrist, Hindi ka ba na-‘Very good’ ng mga magulang mo noong bata ka? (Didn’t your parents say ‘Very good’ whenever you did something right as a kid?)
8. The comment that pretends to be about something but is really about the author’s bottomless need for attention.
9. The comment that thinks it is witty when it is just uncouth. Lots of writers (most of them British) make a good living from being rude and clever. It is a skill. Consider that you might need practice.
10. The comment that is less about the subject under discussion than about the author’s bitterness about his own life and resentment towards the people he thinks have it good. Comments of this nature can be very interesting, but most of the time they’re just depressing. (We make a distinction between depressing-that-makes-you-think and depressing-that’s-just-depressing.)
11. The comment that is deleted for no reason whatsoever. I just felt like it.

Was it a conscious effort to make it not a top ten list?

Also, have any of these posts been written in jejemon form?

Jaysus. I am so nervous to reply.
ifrico: I read somewhere that a list of top whatever that has an odd number makes it more interesting for people to read. Not saying that this is the reason for the title of this post.

Ang naaalala ko rito, si Madonna tuwing pinapagalitan ang audience dahil hindi nagko-cooperate–hindi isinisigaw ang lyrics ng Hung Up, say, o dahil masyadong maingay kaya hindi siya makapagsimula ng speech.

I will just assume that the reason for all my deleted comments was #11. It’s less painful.

Ahaha, lavet, can’t get any more “sapul” than this.
