You've obviously seen when people try to use the comment section to sound smarter than the author (which is usually true on this blog), but end up looking silly.I can think of 2 or 3 people that regularly read some of my favorite blogs that I wish I could just block. I read their comments and get so annoyed.Good stuff Mr. T :) Get off your soapbox man! jk ;-)

A lot of times people use the comment sections of blogs as their own personal soapbox. They don't engage the author, or they only argue with other commenters, not so much as converse with them.

When I wrote it, I was thinking that you have to read others comments to interact, but I guess a lot of people just interact with the author only (which probably hurts their reputation in the long run).If there are only 5 or 10 comments I'll usually read them all, but once you start hitting 40+ comments, it is hard to read them all.At that point, I often look for people who I know or look to see if people are specifically replying to someone. I figure if they got other readers' attention, they probably said something worth taking a look at. That’s a good idea too!

The other day I commented "hearing impaired" instead of "visually impaired." In context I felt like a complete dolt. I can’t count the times I’ve wished every blog had an edit button.
