While I love and appreciate comments, I certainly don't expect comments and don't blame anyone for not commenting (occasional whiny pleas for comments notwithstanding). I'm happy enough that people (and some robots) are reading what I have to say. To demand thoughtful, witty, or otherwise gratifying comments on top of that readership is kind of arrogant. And I guess this is where the blogger-reader relationship is different from the co-commenter/participator relationship in a chat board, online community, or things like that. In the blog, I am playing the role of informer/editorialist/entertainer/ass and everyone else is playing the role of reader and/or commenter. The more people comment, the more the blog takes on characteristics of a community. In some blogs, the commenters actually end up changing the direction of the blog, so that it's no longer just the blogger's blog, even though the blogger is the admin and actually initializes all threads, posts, conversations. For instance, and I don't know if this is a good example but this blogger is a die-hard Yankees fan while many of my readers are either indifferent or Red Sox fans. So I can write a post about how Pedro is a pathetic wimpy scumbag for viciously throwing an 80 year old man to the ground and, at a minimum, dewy24 will comment with an honest (though factually incorrect) smear on a poor old 80 year old guy who got bodyslammed by a 30 year old athlete. So he has changed the tenor of the post (assuming people read the comments) from 100% pure Yankee truth and righteousness to something else. And I welcome that (assuming that the rest of my readership recognizes the original truth and righteousness). The blogger should allow the readers to comment at will and should only edit spam and patently offensive statements (and yes, the blogger decides what is patently offensive, but I think you all know there is a pretty wide berth in VTK as far as offensiveness goes). Ultimately, the blogger decides what to post and the reader decides whether or not to keep reading. Ultimately Part II, the blogger should recognize that no one cares about the blog as much as the blogger does, which is probably why Warnock's Dilemma exists.Dan Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981886295607717368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18246530.post-1146098307931682212006-04-26T20:38:00.000-04:002006-04-26T20:38:00.000-04:00In the throes of Warnock's Dilemma, a few word sel...In the throes of Warnock's Dilemma, a few word selection mistakes are to be expected.Dan Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981886295607717368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18246530.post-1146097647092510112006-04-26T20:27:00.000-04:002006-04-26T20:27:00.000-04:00Should have said [...]craze I deleted the post[......Should have said [...]craze I deleted the post[...] but I guess the meaning was clear.Claus Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313281354942320255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18246530.post-1146096739892940272006-04-26T20:12:00.000-04:002006-04-26T20:12:00.000-04:00Wakka Wakka Warnockka:Dan: I tried to leave a com...Wakka Wakka Warnockka:<BR/><BR/><B>Dan</B>: I tried to leave a comment twice, but it wouldn't let me: "Your comment has been rejected.
