Maybe it's the heat that has a major tech blogger babbling incoherencies about a fringe US political candidate. Everyone has to have some kind of political philosophy; the trouble is that it should not corrupt the mainline message of a themed web site.
You want to know something else? Political blogging has about as much impact as running a fan by an ice cream cone for air conditioning. Nobody who reads me for tech business opinion or current views on computer applications wants to read about my politics. Heck; I don't want to read about my politics. I'm no guru and you're not a follower. That's why I stopped posting the odd political piece here a long time ago.
The fastest way to marginalize years worth of great posting is to leave it alone. I cull and edit and weed from this site all the time. Growth is about change and thought. Written declamations posing as insights are jarring and disconnecting experiences.

I wasn't sure who this was directed at, but through a weird fit of linking by another unrelated blog I put 2+2 together. (Not who I was expecting it to be.) I don't read that blogger, but buzzing through the front page there seem to be several posts relating in some way to politics. Not sure why/how the [fringe candidate] mention suddenly set off the off-topic-o-meter.
It's 2000 all over again: Nader Nader Nader! :-)
Well said ...
Well said, my friend. Although, now based on Ethan's comment, I'll have to go do my own research as to to who prodded you ... ;-)
regards,
Mike
