Welcome to another edition of I Comment Therefore I Am, where normally I put together a post from comments I’ve left on other blogs. This week I’m gonna do something a little different. In last weeks installation of I Comment Therefore I Am I was tickled by the reaction I got to a particular comment I shared, so this week I’m going to share the comments that were left about that comment. How more convoluted can this commenting post get?
This is the post and corresponding comment that I highlighted last week:
I was visiting Jenny Matlock, who is very funny, and she made me think of the times my husband “yells” at me without actually “yelling” at me.
My husband yells at me all the time without raising his voice. When I tell him to stop yelling at me he points out that he didn’t even raise his voice. Ha! Like I can’t hear an implied yell.
It appears my friends that I can “hear” an implied yell. There are many of us out there that can hear a yell even when there is no accompanying escalation in volume. Here are the comments that I got that prove that implied yellers are being called out all over the place.

Hah! My husband yells without yelling too! So I know exactly what you mean.
I get “implied” yells ALL.THE.TIME.
Oh my gosh my husband yells at me without raising his voice too!
An implied yell! LOL! My wife gets mad at me all the time for this. It is so frustrating.
My husband does the “implied yelling” too.. though maybe it’s more of an “I’m busy and don’t want to talk to you right now about this because somewhere there are sports on the television that I’m missing” tone.
I know the implied yell well. I am a master of it.

Hey, I know the implied yell! I can’t believe other people get them as well. I thought it was only me LOL.
Yeah, my husband never “yells” but if he looks at me funny, I translate it to just that.

Oh! I’m right there with you on the implied yell. I think it’s worse, actually.
…I think the yelling without the yelling could also come from the female side of the house also. 🙂
Tone apparently is everything in conversation as it is in commenting. If I mistakenly keep my cap lock on AM I YELLING OR ARE YOU OVERRACTING – AS USUAL. No we are not YELLING, we are just asserting ourselves in a manly fashion. Tell unknown papi that I feel his pain.
Unknown Mami says: Monkey Man, please keep your hands off my husbands “pain” or any other part of him.
That’s it for this edition of I Comment Therefore I Am.
Do you give good comment? Wanna play along? Go forth, spread the comment love, and turn it into a post (I keep a draft post open while I read blogs throughout the week). Recycle, reuse, and reduce my friends; it’s the wave of the future.
Oh and feel free to comment on my comments otherwise how will I know that you exist.
If you play along please link back and/or post the button below. Spread the love, spread the love! You can grab the button code from my sidebar.
I should have commented about that implied yelling. My wife does it. If fact my daughter once called it a whisper yell sorta like the Godfather with the offer you can't refuse.
thanks for posting this meme feature.
you deffinatly have an opinioun and know how to share it, and I love it 😉
ps. I think you are back on my roll now..yippie:)
You really touched a nerve with that one! I can't believe that many people have experienced it.
Ya I can here 'em baby along with the other voices in my head!!! Heeeheheh!
Ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day from the hot sticky Ozark hills :o)
Hi, you included one of my comments too in the implied yell chorus, I accidentally commented as the real me, Maria instead of my Celtic goddess blogger identity gaelikaa LOL. Thank you indeed. That was a really clever observation and it certainly caught on with your readers. I totally enjoy doing this feature and find it brings out areas to write which definitely need developing but which would have languished mostly unread in someone else's comment box. I'll be joining you for the foreseeable future…
are you just sucking up to her?
sorry sorry sometimes my fingers write quicker than I can say slainte
damn I hope Charlie can pop over and help me get out of this.
I love this!
Monkey Man, please keep your hands off my husbands “pain” or any other part of him.
ROFL!!!
btw, I'm so guilty of the implied yell. I just don't think it's necessary to raise my voice.
It would be nice if it were my fine moral character compelling my honesty, but in truth since you and I only communicate through the written medium, eh – I got nothin' to lose for being honest!
Of course that's not to say I won't someday master the art of the written implied yell. Now that I think about it, could come in handy.
See? We all put up with those darn silent yells! Hates.
Hilarious! I totally feel you! I even get the “roll eyes” from my husband without actually “rolling eyes”
The implied eye-roll. Now that I think about it, I get those too.
This is the best comment string I have ever read. I had no idea there were all these implied yellers out there.
Your comment in response to my comment was twice as funny as my comment. The problem is that I never know when I am implied yelling and when I am just annoyed.
Hello my name is Tina and I am an implied yeller….
Actually, sometimes, I REALLY yell.
Help me.
Hugs,
Tina
I love this!
B xx
All this yelling!…
I feel right at home (-:
There is a lot of implied yelling going on in this here space – I have a headache… shhhhhh please
FYI – Mrs. 4444 has asked a question about vlogs over at I Can't Blog.

It's in the comment section (the place I tend to hangout in). Since you are a film star (well you were paid to be in front of a camera) you might have the best suggestions. Do you work with a talent agency? Did you ever check out the “Sick Days” blog I wrote about? The reason I ask (really just trying to help) is because I got in contact with one of the author's and he works in your type of industry but in Canada. Today location doesn't matter much because we are all connected through comment sections like this one.
have a good day
UM – I am so sorry you misinterpretted my comment as an implied yell. I assure you it wasn't implied at all but a REAL YELL!!! As for Papi's pain. I would not have to touch it or any part of him to have awareness of it palpability. Poor man. *smiles*
It seems to me that there are an awful lot of men out there that can yell without doing so, add another one to that list 🙂
No implied yells from me: I'm a straight-out yeller, always have been, most likely always will be. Luckily, the yelling isn't often, and I always end up apologizing because it makes me feel bad.
What about you and yelling, L-man? Are you trying to divert the attention away from you by giving us a review of an old movie?
He who diggeth his own holes can filleth them himself. (Fickle friend, aren't I.)
Oh it's ok. I think most of these two bloggers (hostess here and Celtic goddess) are very busy people so they might not even read these replies and certainly don't have time to answer them. But it does bring back memories of being ignored by girls. How about you?
wow you are sharp for an old guy. Ah so my yelling you ask, hmm, I'm not under oath right? There a town in Arkansas that may have been named after me. Figure that one out.
An honest yeller – gotta like that (from a distance).
You are kind of hard to ignore.
So cool to see my name in lights!! :o)
You know, I think I “imply yell” at my husband… there are just those times ((motions hands around his neck & shaking)) 🙂
That must be what I do to my middle son. He is constantly accusing me of yelling at him when even dogs would have had a hard time hearing me.
My daughter is always accusing me of implied yelling!
haha, I love all the comments about yelling without yelling. So funny, but I completely understand what you mean. My husband talks loud all the time anyway, so when he's mad it could easily sound like yelling to people who aren't around him much. He's just plain loud 🙂 mad or not.
is there some blogging party going on that I didn't get an invite for? Where is everyone lately?
Well, since losing my work from home job, I've been picking up shifts at my work outside the home job, which as you can imagine cuts into my blogging time. I'll be by as soon as I get a chance. Hopefully, I'll have time to write a post for tomorrow.
good and bad – good that you have a job outside that you can pickup shifts. bad that you don't have the home based jobs working. I hope you don't mind my smartass remarks. I do know that people at not always in the mood for some remarks.
If you're too busy just ignore this question – Is something broken with DISQUS? I get the first comment left by a reader and then if I reply followed by their reply to that – I don't get the email of the last reply. I didn't even get an email (not yet anyway) of your reply above.
Yep! My husband does this all the time….and then denies it. Drives me batty!
Okay, your reply to my comment made me laugh…out loud! You are so right.
I am still loving the “implied yelling” concept. And also, do y'all do the “a sigh says 1000 words” thing? It drives my husband nuts. LOL
Ok, you and Monkey need to take this show on the road. Too. Dang. Funny!
