The predominant issue I meet is the popularity contest inherent in the blog world and its representation to the outside world. I have a really good friend who, even in our 'tween years, would discuss politics, religion, and other hot topics. Instead of posing a thoughtful argument, she would always seemingly "win" by means of expelling the carbon dioxide. I mean, she would get so wrapped up in what she was thinking and promptly saying (without much internal edit) that her volume and urgent cadence would completely shut out her opponent.
She's in law school now.
I mean to say editing is good and expelling hot air is not. If opinions are like-- well you know the old saying--then isn't the blog world just a gigantic porcelain bowl of...?
Now I am going to link myself to someone 4 months blog-older than me on the subject. Here you go.
