A Problem With Blogs
I've been reading a lot of blogs lately, mainly on the subject of a NY Times article about the impotence of web comics. (See Scott McCloud's site - August 18). Now, while I agree and disagree with certain views about the responsibilities of journalists, I have one problem with blogs that I want to talk about. Now, if this doesn't apply to you, don't worry about it. Because it probably doesn't.
A lot of the blogs I've read recently are by average people who think their thoughts and opinions are more important than others. They're obsessed with their intelligence and convey every point (clearly opinionated or otherwise) they make as fact. When others try to refute their views, these bloggers go into long-winded and ultimately useless arguments that are often completely irrelevant.
I won't name names, because I'm not fond of the infamous "flame war", and I'm not one to pick fights with people I don't know.
If this applies to you, remember: Your opinion is not as important as you might think. You are not the smartest person in the world (just because you have a blog).
And yes, I believe in these things for myself, as well.
