A vacation from commenting
As you may know (if you’ve been following this blog) I’ve been blocked from commenting on articles and blog entries in MySA, the online website for the San Antonio Express-News. It came about after a couple of harsh exchanges with a few people on some issues. I let their attitudes get the better of me and pull me down to their level. The block has shocked a lot of my friends who feel I usually come across as more rational and well-researched on my comments. I think I do but in these cases I let the situation get the better of me and things got kind of ugly. So I’m taking a vacation from comments. Interestingly, I can still make comments in the Perry Presidential blog thanks to the fact the Houston Chronicle (sister site to the Express-News) is using Facebook Social so I’m using a different ID. While on “vacation” from commenting I’ve taken some time to read the comments of others and the state of affairs is not pretty at all, especially in the E-N comments boards. So have we lost the ability to converse?
