I have wondered about blog usage versus thread usage. Recently, someone posted a controversial blog and people commented on either side of the blog poster's opinion. Finally, the person blogging shut down all comments. I don't blame the blogger. I think that there should be a level of respect given to anyone who blogs. I'm unclear as to what though.

I've always thought that blogs are places were we can express our thoughts and that anyone who cares may read the string of blog entries and learn more about where the blogger's thoughts are.

I've noticed a slow down in threads since blogs were introduced. (groups too) I don't know if a blogger knows that what they are blogging about may be controversial or not but I do have to wonder if they think that it might be controversial why blog? Why not create a thread? I guess by blogging you have more control over who may comment and what to delete?

At any rate, it is interesting to see the ebb and flow of blogging on the site.

What are you thoughts about blogs and threads on this site?

the blog is where I share me... the threads are more purely for discussion it seems

That's exactly how it is for me. Blogging is a window for ppl to look thru and see my beating heart or frantic mind. The threads are where I enjoy more of a dialogue and seek advice. Blogging is purely cathartic.
