Blogger negativity
January 3, 2008
I wrote this blog to earn to write and i was struck by adam curtis’s comments about blogging in general. He’s a fairly cool director of documentaries i wish i saw (Power of Nightmares, etc). Anyway the quote i was struck by was..
First of all, the people who do blogging, for example, are self-selecting. Quite frankly it’s quite clear that what bloggers are is bullies. The internet has removed a lot of constraints on them. You know what they’re like: they’re deeply emotional, they’re bullies, and they often don’t get out enough. And they are parasitic upon already existing sources of information - they do little research of their own.
