I didn't know I cared
May. 21st, 2009 06:18 amI just unsubscribed from an RSS feed of a blog that I frequently enjoy. Why? Because I wanted to make a comment, went to the blog, and discovered that the author had decided to turn off commenting. This strikes me as so antithetical to my conception of what a blog is -- a microcommunity -- that I felt disgusted, and stopped reading.

I have now expended enough energy on this discussion that I could have written a letter to him in the first place, so I think I shall.
