<div id="RTEContent">Carl is right. Blogs and email forums do create conflict and divisiveness. I find people on V2020, including myself, less considerate and polite to others online, versus in person. <br> <br> I think it is in part because we do not see the person, often do not know them, mistranslating their meaning, and/or get so caught up in the argument/content and lose site of the human on the other end.<br> <br> I know many people on V2020, and none of you have horns and a tail. However, just reading the content of some people, I would swear you could trace their IP address directly to a dark tiny corner room on the bottom floor of Hell.<br> <br> Carl, or anyone else, it would be interesting to see a study on the increase of divisiveness caused by blogs and ways to counter them.<br> <br> Take Care,<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>Carl Westberg <carlwestberg846@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(1!

With <br>approximately 4 million blogs being born every 5 minutes, it's incredibly <br>easy to find those that mirror your worldview, and assure you of your <br>absolute rightness in your beliefs. I'm as guilty of it as anyone, hanging <br>out at Commondreams, etc., while those with a right leaning penchant can <br>visit theirs, and everything is pure black and white for us, with no gray <br>areas to complicate matters. I know I'm correct in this, because I just <br>found a blog that says I am. <br> <br> !
