One thing worse that comes to mind, for me at least, is to not have the ability to freely express ourselves on the blogs.

That duly noted, when posts are longer than the original column, one might reasonably conclude the offending blogger is just a "wee" bit full of them self. I actually printed 8 pages from a single post -- posted by a self-proclaimed tree hugger -- to one of Ann’s earlier columns. As infuriating as, long winded, verbose, circuitous posts may be, thank God we all have the freedom to express ourselves in this great land, The United States of America.

Besides, if you don’t take them (blogogargantuous) too seriously (or at least, no where near as seriously as they take themselves) they can actually prove to be quite entertaining. Just a thought…

To reaganite: Just so no?
I think you misread my last post to you - it had no criticisms of Ann positive or negative, it merely pointed out that the body of your essay didn't support your stated premise or conclusion.

Liberal/Conservative arguments aside, I think we all need to pay attention to the basic structure of forming a written argument, whether reading or writing one. If we allow and excuse poorly formed arguments, we lose vital understanding at the heart of issues and are more and more susceptible to manipulations, both from the left and the right.

I hope that as the elections near we can be more mindful of this because the more we stray from sound argument building, the more vulnerable we are to be influenced by a writer's will rather then the available facts and research at the heart of an issue.

I understand you feel that I am somehow "consumed with jealousy and envy regarding Ann", I was wondering which of my statements demonstrated this to you because I cannot make the correlation. Is this idea a product of your will or based on something I said?

If you just do not like what I'm saying, feel free to ignore my posts. This should be obvious!
