Hey All!
The lesson for today is Moderation. If you have checked out the links on the blog roll,** you’ll see 4 recommended “Blogs for Outreach.” Three of the Four Blogs are supposedly non-partisan blogs run by the liberal media. The other blog maintains a “centrist” format.
From time to time, the commentary on blogs can be rough and tumble. Profanity may even be posted by boisterous liberals or irresponsible conservatives. But on these blogs you have a friend looking out for your interests and the interests of spirited but responsible discussion.
This friend is the Moderator. It is the Moderator’s job to keep the Commentary under control by deleting posts that contain profanity and/or personal attacks against a Candidate or a Commenter. This keeps civil discussion on track and discourages irresponsible discussion.
If you see an irresponsible posting on a blog with Moderation just ignore this irresponsible post and keep posting positively. The Moderator will eventually delete the offensive post.
Often times rabble rousers will attempt to hi-jack discussion through the use of profanity and/or anti-McCain propaganda. Those who engage in such behavior do it out of fear or weakness and in an attempt to steer the topic of discussion away from a Topic that favors John McCain to something trivial.
Do not fall for these tactics. Stay Positive. Be Positive. And Have Fun!
**Ed. Note. A Blogroll is a listing of recommended blogs in the blogosphere that the author of a blog wants you to check out or avoid, as the case may be.
