"My life was changed by a blog (about runes), so i cannot say blogging is trivial": only holds if your life isn't trivial. Actually, we should feel bad for Elberty and encourage him to seek help. He is so frightened by human contact, so threatened by women, and so vulnerable to narcissistic injury that he sabotages every opportunity he gets. I don't think he's a danger to others, but I wouldn't say that with absolute assurance. Urge him to seek clinical assistance, I say.Toasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239283385268255066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999805.post-91088411787165598652009-09-02T00:07:53.787-05:002009-09-02T00:07:53.787-05:00Sorry Patrick,

A startling combination of apathy, bravado and bluster. <br /><br />I wish he'd taken the time that he did for his comment on your recent post regarding buttons (August 23). I loved his tie-in to King Lear (and his past writing on Chekhov).Jonathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999805.post-30925201370901220592009-09-01T15:02:41.964-05:002009-09-01T15:02:41.964-05:00Oh, how disappointing.

I was looking forward to this series, but what a miserable, ignorant and unrsearched set of answers. <br /><br />By the way, I know several people who have landed jobs (eg in journalism) partly or significantly as a result of their blogging, and others who have been offered paid work as a result. Many mainstream publications run blogs as part of their operations, and pay people to write them in parallel with their more conventional content. And so on.<br /><br />Sigh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999805.post-41747723362368825582009-09-01T09:59:49.386-05:002009-09-01T09:59:49.386-05:00If Kierkegaard's Journals are a kind of standa...If Kierkegaard's Journals are a kind of standard for serious web logs, the bar is set high. <br /><br />"In everything the purpose must weigh with the folly."
