What <i>is</i> Creekside.<br /><br />I don&#39;t know, exactly. A current-events / political blog maybe hosted out of BC?<br /><br />It is a blog that calls attention to interesting (and distressing) West-coast and National news stories typically hidden in the back pages of the Globe &amp; Mail. It has a &quot;left-wing&quot; bias (Yay!) and new posts appear about every third day.<br /><br />The link is in the text about, or go here: http://creekside1.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Spam and malware free, usually safe for work (unless you work for the Prime Minister).Wendellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08553873036366356241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36065933.post-48505007714791688712009-11-20T07:13:52.156-04:002009-11-20T07:13:52.156-04:00please: what is creekside?OzGracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01028941041849095124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36065933.post-76829737823324040062009-11-12T09:49:55.945-04:002009-11-12T09:49:55.945-04:00&quot;muttering to myself out loud&quot; LOL<br /><br />If you typed your mutterings out and posted them we&#39;d called it &quot;blogging&quot;.<br /><br />My favourite form of debate is parallel posting, I think.<br /><br />Imagine, I post something on my blog. You disagree (and maybe say so politely in the comments) and post a reasoned and/or impassioned argument of your blog. If I&#39;m vexed enough, I might bring it up again in another post... And so on, with the readership getting both sides and making up their own minds.<br /><br />What&#39;s nice about that model is that nobody has to host bad manners on their own site.<br /><br />Thks for commenting!!Wendellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08553873036366356241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36065933.post-64685950826236665682009-11-11T23:50:25.752-04:002009-11-11T23:50:25.752-04:00Since you asked...<br />I only want to comment on the first bit about extroverts for now. It&#39;ll take me a lot longer to process the rest, and then, possibly, respond thoughtfully. Many times I&#39;m moved by something I&#39;ve read in print or online to the point of thinking about making a public comment. In the few instances when I&#39;ve gotten further than simply muttering to myself out loud, I&#39;m taken aback by the proliferation of mindless, reactionary or inflammatory remarks that others are posting. Are these the extroverts? I don&#39;t know - maybe they&#39;re just faster thinkers, but I don&#39;t really think so.KarenBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11932000202580558948noreply@blogger.com
