Sad State of Discourse Revisited

Lyn Millett noticed this post of mine, which was a response to something Rebecca Blood had said. I was saddened at the time that the interchange generated so little conversation, since it was precisely about taking stands that solidify community through weblogging. Lyn was on vacation at the time she read it but got back to it to comment (since I don’t have Trackback, I have to make note of linked commentary in this way instead) the other day. I’m grateful, and not just because she agrees with me [grin].
