-- seems like you ..."some imaginary line"<br />-- seems like you already have your answer. Your inquiry seems peppered with sarcastic rhetorical questions. Written word is such a challenge. <br /><br />If folks like the way a conversation is going, they engage, If they don't like the feel of a conversation they may pull out. And in the end, on a blog, someone has to have (or be let to have) the last word.<br /><br />People pull out for lots of reasons, I imagine: bored, irritated, perceived-waste-of-time, tired. People like to feel that the reader is making an effort to understand. For instance, many readers don't have time for unproductive tit-for-tat banter.<br /><br />If you want someone to keep engaged, you need to understand their range of desires I guess. You have to understand their implicit rules and their "imaginary lines' -- or not. Or you can entice them by inviting engagement that they enjoy. <br /><br />So no rules, just flexible insight. And that is tough with only written words without tone and facial expressions, eh?Sabio Lantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963476276106907984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647729382465631369.post-74824511469460844932009-06-16T11:04:30.432-04:002009-06-16T11:04:30.432-04:00...if I get on a blog and someone posts a post, is......if I get on a blog and someone posts a post, is it fair game to respond to it.<br />- yes<br /><br />...is it fair game to respond to the responses of that post?<br />- yes<br /><br />Are public posts sometimes private?<br />- yes, but in that case it is the blogger's fault, not yours. I comment on these with great caution only though.<br /><br />Should I refrain from leaving a response to a comment about a post in case I may offend the responder to that post?<br />- no<br /><br />I mean there seems to be so many variables that I'm wondering if someone has the answer. I sometimes feel that I have stepped over some imaginary line and I cant step back.<br />- hmm, that sounds like a dilemma inherent in human communication.

Otherwise, there's this little check box that lets me disable comments. <br /><br />As far as being a "thoughtful" commenter, I say go for it. At The Cheek, I welcome discussion in the comments, just so everyone plays nice and respects one another. Only once in nearly 200 posts have I had to ban a commenter for blathering on and on and never really "listening" to the others in the comments. <br /><br />Of course, every blog is different . . . if you read a blog long enough, you'll get a feel for what works there.<br /><br />Happy commenting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
