Beach Walk 242 - Debunking Double Standards
The way I debunk double standards is to separate the content from the structure. In this example, it’s the case of the cardinal’s blog.One of the discussion lists I read was talking about how the Cardinal of Boston has started a blog that does not accept comments. The discussion quickly veered off of the structure, “comments yes or no” and into the abuse issues of the Boston diocese. It’s a classic case of double standard – where by the content of the situation (who the blogger is) over-rode the structure (what are the basic blogger bill of rights?)IMO, a blogger is not required to accept comments, regardless of who s/he is. However it’s also my opinion that a blogger will have greater success by accepting comments, even if they are not always agreeable.Look for the bones beneath the skin to avoid setting up double standards.Cardinal Sean’s Blog – Now accepting comments after all!
