A Good Blog Post Gone Bad

We’ve had a lot of discussions about blogging here and how even good discussions can go bad.  Terry Storch had a great example of this yesterday when an ‘anonymous’ person decided to set everyone straight by quoting scripture…

Controversy, it seems, can come out of anywhere; especially on a blog.   I can say something is red; and someone most certainly (on my blog anyway) will say it was blue.

If you haven't already, please check out our blogging maturity and etiquette post.  I hate to even think about having rules here, but it's necessary.  I think I might have to add the "no anonymous posts" rule to the list. 

I want to post again on this subject sometime soon, maybe tomorrow (well, today I guess) if I can find the time.  Blogs are a great tool; but we have to somehow find a way to take the lowest common denominator out of the mix.  (By LCD, I mean the insulting post, the anonymous post, and the angry post).

As a blog owner, you sometimes feel like Rodney Dangerfield... you just don't get no respect. 

Hang in there Terry... there's light at the end of this tunnel! (somewhere!)
