Ben Smith Comments on the comments on his Blog

I just wanted to take advantage of a (relatively) slow news day to make a quick point about comments. They are, ideally, ideas, not rants; content, not therapy. They’re at their best when you’re sharing something somebody else might want to read ”” a fact, an opinion, an argument.

A good reminder. Read it all.

    Titus One Nine is just such a conversation. My profound thanks to all with whom I converse here. I have learned so much. I also appreciate the ability to occasionally vent my frustrations. Hat tip to one and all.

    Hmmmm…. Sounds like a rant to me.
