I try to keep on my public blog roll those blogs that are closer to my viewpoint. I guess you could have a list with a disclaimer - "the views expressed here don't necessarily reflect the views of Pastor Joelle and/or her affliates..."Pastor Joellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212838423929588352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15178007.post-9378096844793696512009-08-07T11:31:09.248-04:002009-08-07T11:31:09.248-04:00This actually touches on an interesting problem: ...This actually touches on an interesting problem: What to make of blogs where the SOME of the posts (and, far more often, comments) address politically neutral religious or cultural subjects, in which one is acutely interested -- but OTHERS promote political causes by which one is appalled?<br /><br />These are frequent in the world of religious blogging. I experience it myself with WTTPRS, a blog which by turns fascinates and repels me, simply depending on what Fr. Z happens to be thinking about that day. GR usually exercises a bit more effort to keep comments on-topic, but obviously has failed a few times (defending Wal-Mart? Seriously?).<br /><br />I wonder: Does the problem also occur on physics or literature blogs? <br /><br />Another website which I frequent -- a forum for collectors of military watches -- handles the situation by asking posters to restrict themselves to the subject of watches, and also provides a semi-secret "general forum" to sound off about other subjects.Father Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170260624474428623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15178007.post-2134837214374983202009-08-07T09:25:10.134-04:002009-08-07T09:25:10.134-04:00Well there were a couple of interesting posts but ...Well there were a couple of interesting posts but when it defended Walmart (which I think is evil and that has NOTHING to do with whether or not it's fundamentalist) and then started complaining about including women's reproductive health in healthcare reform I had to take it off my blog roll lest people think I agree with it's POV.Pastor Joellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212838423929588352noreply@blogger.com
