[Unfunny] xkcd [peronal faggotry]

Dear Randall,
When I want to read xkcd, I want to read a webcomic of romance,
sarcasm, math, and language. I see that there is no ``humour'' listed there, but, taking a peek at earlier strips, I can safely assume that one of xkcd's goals was to amuse its readers.
Nowadays, most comics seem to deal with the failures of your personal life[1][2][3][4][5]. While I cannot objectively state that it is not interesting, I can say that I, and many of the older readers, check their xkcd with the intent of being amused. This is hardly possible, having the recent love-spam (dare I call it so) in mind.
When you look above the strip itself, one can see links to numerous sub-sections of the web-site. One of them is a blog, or, as you humourously refer to it, a ``blag''. I see no reason not to refrain from revealing the meanders of your life there.
I, too, have lost a someone dear to me recently. But, unlike you, I did not have the urge to tell the entire world how do I feel. So, Randall, please visit a psychologist instead of trying to deal with your problems by making them everyone's problems.
So please, keep things where they belong and don't entirely derail your once-great webcomic into the areas of love and emotion.

Much like the spelling ``humour'', the Oxford comma is quite British in origin. The ``Oxford'' in the name is from Oxford University, in Oxford, Oxfordshire, in England.
The serial comma may be more current in American English than it is in British English, but its use in British English is still quite correct.
