They certainly have opinions about what I should write about and what I shouldn't... Maybe they are right.

My blog readers are so darn smart --- sometimes I think they should be writing the content for the blog.

We Moderate Comments, Yours might not appear right after you hit return. Be patient; I'm usually pretty quick on getting comments up there. Try not to hit return again and again.... If you disagree with something I've written please do so civilly. Be nice or see your comments fly into the void. Anonymous posters are not given special privileges or dispensation. If technology alone requires you to be anonymous your comments will likely pass through moderation if you "sign" them. A new note: Don't tell me how to write or how to blog! I can't make you comment but I don't want to wade through spam!

But what if they're not?

Those people "should" shut up :-) Seriously. Maybe publish your own blog instead of telling fantastic writers and photographers like Kirk what they sh*uld do!!!! C'mon grow up!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Roland. It's presumptuous to tell a volunteer blog write what to write about, particularly when historically the blog content has been strong and varied. I'm for whatever you want to write about.
ReplyDeleteIt's the familiarity that does it I think. They feel at home here and the natural outcome of that is that they feel they should have a say in what goes on here. It's inevitable and probably happens in every social setting.
ReplyDeleteIt might be a hazard of online meeting places that some comments are assigned more importance that they should. In a meeting with 23 people physically present, if someone makes a comment that the others find irrelevant then they just ignore it, end of story. But in an online setting, that one comment may have undue influence that it would not have in a real-world setting because you can't count all the people who don't make comments. And those might outnumber the critical voice 100 to 1.
Generally, the louder the opinion, the less knowledge.

I pretty much have black friday fatigue this year, have scrolled through a few stores but seeing "1000 items" in the list makes it all seem a bit overwhelming, but I do need to pick up a few things, I'm going to make one of those shopping lists, someone I knew in the UK is working for chinese state media, just looked her up again out of curiousity and she's still there, her linkedin says she "chooses news stories that advance strategic objectives", but her boss builds concentration camps etc, all too weird for me
