Traveling and finding myself responding to blog flames more than once, I pondered how to proceed. I really enjoy engaging in discussions, especially when people have differing opinions. But far too often, it has become a discussion that digresses into personal attacks. And who needs that?
Then an idea struck me... ban myself from Hot Blog comments.
And so begins the experiment...
For the next month, those of you who comment are on your own. I'm not going to be joining you - though I will read you - in the ongoing conversation. I will write what I want to write. And then, the floor is yours.
Perhaps I will do a weekly entry answering specific questions that have come up... or something like that. I'm not sure. Like I said... it is an experiment.
If things get out of hand, I will be lurking around and will suspend commenters if I feel it is necessary... which I hope it will not be, given that the first time I ever suspended anyone was just a couple of months ago... and if I do feel forced to do any of that, I won't be blogging about that either.
Anyway... thanks for adding your two cents. See you in comments in a month.
