A propos the discussion in the preceding post: Melissa McEwan has a very popular blog. Her moderating policy is the exact opposite of mine. She bans all the interesting people with original ideas and valuable insight and leaves saccharine sycophants who never say anything fresh or original.
I’m not going to her blog to inform her that her strategy is dumb and will never help her have interesting discussions on her blog that will expose her to new ideas and enrich her intellectually. I’m not doing that because interesting discussions are clearly not her goal. Her goal is creating a comforting space where she’ll never hear anything she hasn’t said herself a million times before. She is really successful at that goal. There is no need for me to lecture her because she wants something entirely different and she gets exactly that.
