Blogging isn't a fight - 2009-08-12 12:19:26
I'm from Washington state, and don't mean to step in the middle of a fight, but here's an important clarification. Blogging does not equal "fights on the computer." A growing number of city council bloggers don't permit comments; they just use the blog to share info like what could have happened here. I personally do allow comments on my city council blog, but I don't allow anonymous comments. That keeps the morons away, at least in my town so far.
