B(l)ogged down
23rd September 2005
I need to get a hold of myself. Of late, apart from struggling with lack of inspiration to put up new posts, I have been getting a little disheartened when I read other blogs. I don’t know if it is an indication of the kind of people who blog, or just that I happen to just have stumbled on a group of bloggers who tend to be (1) opinionated and (2) intolerant. Whether they themselves hold conservative positions or liberal ones, I have found quite a few people who just do not entertain other views and would either jeer, or condemn opposing views. There is no middle ground and therefore no room for discussion.
A few nights ago, I found a brand new blog that is a collaboration of quite a few “God-bloggers” who share their various posts on theological matters. This blog purportedly aims to foster “a forum in which participants will be tough-minded in their analysis but respectful toward each other. Debate is a contact sport, so we don’t discourage intellectual blocking and tackling within free and open encounters. But obscene, profane, or racist rhetoric - to cite only some obvious examples - shuts down debate.” Fair enough. I thought this might be a site to engage others in rigorous discussion.”
