I like the idea of dialogue regarding a particular blog post, but hesitant to engage in it much due to 1. it's time consuming and I'm not sure I have lots of time to engage in thoughtful dialogue 2. I don't want to monopolize the space by engaging in ongoing dialogue with another individual 3. I barely have the discipline to blog to the extent I do, much less carry on dialogue after posting.<br />Obviously, I have reservations. I would be willing to try but with the understanding that if I felt it was becoming too cumbersome/time-consuming/not enjoyable I would discontinue and no one is take it personally and start sending me hate-mail. :>)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737973262005167895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459696196850168776.post-18846172538577380072010-10-12T20:58:45.049-07:002010-10-12T20:58:45.049-07:00common sense: our common enemy.common sense: our common enemy.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02481687497270585464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459696196850168776.post-40477447302609297582010-10-08T21:33:49.397-07:002010-10-08T21:33:49.397-07:00You had asked, "Do you blog to initiate a dia...You had asked, "Do you blog to initiate a dialogue via comments or do you blog to put your message out there and if someone comments, it ends there?" I replied, "Yes."

When Oprah or whomever say you can do anything, I'm pretty sure she is counting on some common sense and intellect to part of the decision about what you want to do. I really don't think she is saying an 82 year old in a wheel chair can train and become an astronaut. Some things are just common sense. And one can absolutely convert anger into tolerance by telling themselves that here is nothing to support anger and plenty to support tolerance. Humans believe what they tell themselves. Children believe what their parents tell them, with age, people believe what they tell themselves. Oh, I consulted with a mutual blogger and it was suggested that I ask you this question (I think it was a great suggestion, btw) Do you blog to initate a dialoge via comments or do you blog to put your message out there and if someone comments, it ends there. Not ends there but I can't think of a better way to say it. Long day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
