Robert Scoble, the Obi-Wan Kenobi of blogging, needs a break from the crazy back-and-forth on his blog (see the comments section for R-rated dialogue). His partner on the blogging book (Shel Israel) weighs in too on both attacks happening to Robert and attacks at the book blog, "Naked Conversations". Very understandable policy by Shel.
No fun. Unproductive. This is a good example of where I don’t want to the have the RSS feed to the comments section of a blog. It’s also an example similar to handling a heckler during a speech or when giving a presentation. The difference, however, is what do you do when it happens in your own "house" (to coin Shel’s words)? Maybe Robert needs to go to allowing trackbacks only … not ideal … but then the heckling can only occur outside his house …
Update (8/4/05): Fred Wilson and Jeff Jarvis on the subject.
Trackbacks are worse thanks to spam.
At this point, what gives you more agita? Arnold or trackback spam … 🙂
