I completely agree — as a writer, I do keep a blog in order to stay on people's radar (and to catch the eye of potential clients / editors), but I also do it to build relationships and to participate in the conversation in more meaningful way then by simply commmenting on other blogs. (gapingvoid.com)
and judging by the believers commments here, I would say some rehabilitation is in order. (religion.blogs.cnn.com)
«Grayling's somewhat confused commments now represent what has become a rather fringe view» I'd like to think that you're right, and certainly expression of such views has become rather fringe, but I suspect that indulgence of this sort of thing still more widespread. (nextleft.org)
