#and please don't flame me again just because i'm asklng a question YOU consider obvious

Perhaps someone who isn't such a Tublr noob can explain this one to me.

If I don't have any messages, then why in hell is there the number "1" next to my main blog in the list? I HAVE been on quite a few similar websites and that usually means you HAVE a message.

And if Tumblr works differently than the usual standard, why don't they tell you that right up front in a place where someone new to the site will know where to find it ... no, because if you don't know the issue is a problem you won't know you need to look for the information. It should be right up front in large letters in a screen you can't avoid looking at sometime during the process of signing up.

And if a certain troll thinks that my posting this still further confirms their opinion that I am "completely internet illiterate" and that reading my posts and replies "is like watching somebody talk english in china and expect to be understood" (and why do you want to insult the chinese by supposing they're as ignorant as you are and don't bother to learn other people's languages just because you're too arrogant to?), well, I really can't do anything further to rescue them from the pit of festering inbred stupidity and nastiness they seem to prefer to remain in;

when the ONLY thing I might have done to even close to deserve the flame - maybe - is to point out that all the people who were burbling on about Lot Lot Lot in a post where anyone who really knows the Bible story of Lot and Abraham would think it pretty obvious that it couldn't be a picture of Lot given the position and gestures of the individual involved, and must therefore be a picture of Abraham, are showing the Biblical illiteracy and ignorance that people who are actually IN the field are pretty well agreed is endemic in America. As the son of an Episcopal minister, I think I'm better qualified than you are to make that statement.

And as an autistic man, my brain maybe jumps around a little more than other people's. If what you don't like is my posting several replies as I think of things, that is showing still further how far you have your head up your ass that you don't even realize this is a disability issue and what an asshole you're being for shaming me for it on a public web site.
