one of the downsides to blogging, specifically...
i like comments... i think they can be insightful and creative.
i don't like anonymous comments. they are generally foolish and recently, they've been indicative of the poor reading-comprehension skills of some blog browsers...
i'm not flattering myself. if you can read this last blog and think that in ANY WAY i use this blogging crap to build up my ego or flatter myself, please read a book.
if you wish to rebuke me, i welcome it. Psalm 141 says "let a righteous man strike me - it is a kindness. let him rebuke me, it is oil on my head." If you feel that an attitude, an action, or a behavior of mine hinders the Kingdom of God, tears down community instead of building it, or displays selfishness instead of love, then please tell me.
but
not
in
an
anonymous
comment.
for the time being, i'll leave them up. you have a name, don't be afraid to use it.

That beauty of the internet, the anonymous. I have to agree with this, mostly because of the fact that I have had students that have been hurt by the distance the internet puts out there. Why is it all right to say something to or about someone online, when you would not do so to their face? If you have an opinion you wish to voice, then you should be able to put your name behind it, otherwise, your opinion is not really something you consider important. Your name and your voice should be synonymous. If you are afraid of your own thoughts, then you should not share them with others.
thanks doyle
it would be interesting to hear more about how internet anonymity affects younger people and their interaction...
do your kids have facebook now? i hear it's moved to younger ages now...
