Most of what you write about I have NO knowledge about and since I've been blogging for years, while staffing with full disclosure when necessary, I feel your comment about:

It has been demonstrated time and again that social networking turns into a nightmare if you just let the back pagers prey upon each other. It is now commonly known that technical blogs such as digg, and slashdot are virtual killing fields. So without some labor on the part of blog proprietors to protect the desirable back pagers, social networks become overrun with stealth trolls. This is becoming very well established.

Blog owners who are campaign staffers will make their presence known when there is a conflict and I've never seen or known one who ignored his blog in the process.

Enjoy your belief system. I don't buy it's validity and doubt many do.

Of course...I really don't care either.

My experience has been nearly completely positive until I run into the occasional 'true believer' in one subject or another...and they just become a bore when they can't see the forest for the tree's and only focus on their own views.

Right now my primary blog Political Dogfight has over 400 posts and Political Interviews is creating it's own self-described content....so I don't think I'm inexperienced.

As I said before, however, enjoy your belief system...I have no need to write about it having fully expressed my own view.
