I still visit the blogs. -Occasionally Hi folks I don't post here as much as I used to in the past. Not because of past or present differences with other bloggers, which although can be annoying at times, is not enough to stifle my enthusiasm. I'm a bit annoyed by people who feel they have to post a dozen blogs a day rather than consolidating their views into a single daily account or two, but that's not the biggest drawback either. (Altho it's close.) I'm just too often bored with the predictability. Both in the original posts, and the responses. I've been guilty of it too. Very often we can't let go of past differences and move onto more recent topics. And too many of us become trolls. (We hold grudges and actively seek out opportunities to jump on any post or comment by an adversary, and attack them with or without reason, whether it is relevant to the topic at hand or not.) Too many of us can't cede a point when those we view as the opposition are correct. Instead we twist and maneuver, instead of admitting that the other person has a valid point. Or we dredge up some irrelevant ancient history to use against them. (Altho, if the other person has just insulted us, remaining objective about the topic is rather hard for most of us to do.) It just gets boring. We know what to expect from each of us, so why bother reading? Arguments are predictable and just repeatedly go round and round for years with the same old refrains we've all heard before. Just my thoughts on the subject. GBU all, Gavin |
