It seems like every ad blog you come across (including AgencySpy)is overrun with both authors and commenters whose only contribution is to say, "Wow, that campaign was even better three years ago when [insert agency name] did it." Or some highly misanthropic variation thereof. It gets pretty annoying pretty quickly.Kevin Erbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835923965273814427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927499066712159439.post-18995756000740923412008-03-03T22:49:00.000-05:002008-03-03T22:49:00.000-05:00Yes, you are responsible for what you say in the r...Yes, you are responsible for what you say in the real world. Don't you think Anthony, that commenting in the blogosphere can be a little like yelling at the driver who cut you off in traffic? That's what I was reminded of, as I read some of the nastier comments over at nancynall.com. Just like the driver who, protected by steel and shatter-resistant glass feels the freedom to swear or give another driver the finger, bloggers can hide behind their anonymity and be more aggressive than they would be in real life. It scares me just a bit, quite frankly. There can be a real mob mentality on some blogs. It's all about personal responsibility. If you wouldn't say it to someone in person, you shouldn't post it on a blog.Kirkwood Park Neighborhood Associationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664321663306890717noreply@blogger.com
