Comment Section 101

Folks in small towns don’t need a psychiatrist because if you do something stupid the whole town’s going to know about it anyway; at least that’s what I heard. The same could be true about blogging and the ever present comment section. I enjoy reading comment sections, often times far more entertaining or informative than the original article.

While going over the morning “reads” I ran across a reference library on the subject of blog comments , so to speak, written by Michael S. Malone, which had been linked via Say Uncle. Following the thread of comments became an education in human ego trips. If you have an hour or so to invest try reading all 222 comments to see how it works.
