Judging from an article in today’s New York Times, the blogosphere is devolving into a forum for the rude, the hateful, and the obnoxious; so much so that some bloggers feel compelled to put forth a set of guidelines for proper behavior. This issue has never been much of an issue for me. Every once in a great while, a troll will leave a comment that is supposed to be insulting, but it usually just elicits my pity. The tranquillity in my little corner of the blogosphere leads me to think that I must be doing something wrong. Either that, or I have exceedingly well-behaved readers.
On Blogger we have comments moderation which gives the blog owner the facility to delete anything not wanted before it appears. Works a treat. We are all polite, considerate, well-behaved, haloed bloggers.
