Anything but medium

A thought in passing.

The status quo does not inspire interest. Cohesion does not lead to debate. Compromise does not generate ratings.

The media does not just abhor things being on an even keel though naked self-interest, it has an active incentive to make sure that whatever else, someone or something is either being pumped up or being shot down.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
