Comments: A Two-Way Street

Recently, Nikki spoke up about men who read other men's blogs, but won't comment on them.

I'd like to take that a step further and express my displeasure with bloggers who don't respond to the comments others leave.

Of course, people can do whatever they want, but, personally, I prefer a blogger who's more interested in talking to me than talking at me.

Just my two cents.

Man, when has that ever happened?

I see you made this comment at 11:15, then responded on the "Superman Returns" comment section several minutes, later.

Does this mean what I think it means? :p

re: "I've been trying to do more and more replying."

That's cool. It's not like you're the only one who could respond more, though. So, don't think I was calling YOU out.

Just expressing my preference.

The blogs I enjoy the most are the ones where the participants converse with one another. This is true of online forums, in general, though.

Whether it's a message board thread, a blog post, or even a real-life conversation, when people only show up to speak, but don't care to listen and respond, the dialogue suffers... correction, the dialogue is non-existent.

A series of monologues can work, I guess, but it's just not my preference.
