It's a well-known theory, used by tabloids, Hollywood types, tv competition cooking shows, reality tv, , the publishing industry, every sleazy endeavor you can imagine, that conflict sells. I've long suspected that Bob adheres to this perception of the benefits of permitting and even fanning conflict ---unless it hits too close to home, in which case, there's the handy block. BUT, of course, blocks cause a great increase in traffic to this site, they 're very useful in resuscitating sluggish traffic. They're wonderful for sales. Now, that's something I can RESPECT.
