> well, i think that if someone is determined to follow link after link in search of incivility, then one deserves what one gets... i mean, hope he or she had a good time hunting down an incivility, but don't blame the poster of the original link. OTOH, an obviously uncivil link doesn't require as diligent a hunt, and the poster of the link is responsible for its content- those looking for links n times removed to more outrageous material are doing it on their own time, to please themselves.
yes. i think that is a good point.
not necessarily that they are purposely looking for incivility...
but that we are only responsible for the link we give (and not the 'higher order' links...)
(did that make sense??)> then i think that blogging shouldn't be a part of this site (but links should).
hmm. though... currently people post a link to their blog...
> because it may be challenging, and nerve-wracking at times, to remain civil at this site,
yes. but... i guess i think... that it is worth the effort. i don't like to think that i hurt or offended someone with what i said :-(
but it is hard...
> but it's not a blog where one presumably expresses oneself in accordance with one's own standards.
I've never blogged. so i dunno.
> and if i were uncivil, would i be banned from my own blog? sounds absurd.
well... maybe you would be blocked from the babble site (where the blog is a feature of the site like babblemail)
but now i'm wondering...
what is the difference between a blog and a thread?
