    Blogging Without the Option of Comment

    By CVille Dem on Tue, 10/28/2008 - 7:55pm |
    I never knew that a person could write a blog, put it up for the community, and decline the comments of fellow posters.  "Truthseeker" (an Orwellian name if ever there was one) has done it twice that I am aware of.  It seems to me to defeat one of the very purposes of this site, which I always took to be the give-and-take of ideas.

    The ironic thing is that these two dopey posts have gotten highly rec'd by people who say they thought they were clicking to comment, whereas the only "click" option was "recommend."  Anticipating TS's comment that those people are all stupid, I would say pre-emptively, that this level of cowardice is new to TPM, so no one was watching out for it.

    I would like to suggest that if the Management continues to allow this, there should be a symbol, or other way to tell from the title itself, so that people like me will know not to waste our time reading someone's words who doesn't want to read mine.

    In the mean time, I would suggest to "truthiness" himself that he write his/her diaries in one of  those little ones with a personal lock on it, or otherwise just discuss these weighty subjects with his/her navel -- surely it will be more appreciated.
