Yes to comments

If you think about it comments didn't start spurting until about a year or so ago, I remember when I first established my blog in 2003 there was no comment section available. Nowadays the comment section of any publication is proliferating at a rapid pace. Remember Alghad Jordanian daily when it first went into circulation which it hasn't been that long ago, it didn't have reader's comment section, now it does. Why ? I think that comment is very essential and can be considered an integral part of the blog. It is sort of like an informal survey, it is highly opinionated, it is feed back from the readers, some of it is positive, and some of it is negative, and some neutral. It is your job to see where your audience are from your blog,!? Do they seem very supportive? Do they think that you are passive? aggressive? or rational human being. I agree that some of the comments are very tepid and others are plain provocative, however, and for the most part, other bloggers are sincere in their analysis. Sometimes they like to personify their comments, other times they add little humor to it, and occasionally they are highly satirical. Whatever they might feel about it, without the comment part there is no way for any of us to ever get any sort of feed back on any blogs that we write. Grant you a lot of blogs go unnoticed without any comment even if the comment button is turned on, but that in itself doesn't forecast anything about the blog. It may have been a case that people were very busy, it may be that people didn't feel like replying at that time, it may have been that they read the blog, gave a little smile and then moved on. We can never predict the readers mind unless we hear from them, and the way to hear from them is through the comment section. So my conclusion is yes for the comment section it shall stay on all the time. All comments are welcome as far as I'm concerned. Good, bad, or indifferent. Sometimes the comment might uncover a bias that I have, sometimes it might aid me to sharpen my skills further, and some times it is entertaining. Diversity, democracy, pluralism, are things that I live for and indulge the functioning of my whole life from within them. I'm all for comments, praise me if you want, and condemn if you want, I'll still love you and respect you as a human being irrespective of your opinion.

Having comments on your blog is not an idicator or measurment about your skill as a writer. I think sometimes that you can write a very interesting post that is very insightful and informative but never hear back any responces from your readers. The trick is to post an open ended posts and leave a question or a puzzle, an incentive for people to respond back.

I agree with Issam, and I can't help but mention readability. I have a hard time reading your posts because they're not indented or paragraphed, it's just one really long paragraph and that's really difficult to read. Just a suggestion, I'm poor of sight ;)

I agree with you. The internet is the most democratic bit of technology we have today. In the US, big business, and consquently their political biases, has taken over much of the media. Democracy, if it is anything, if it is anything at all, it is the voice of the people, all the people. This is why we must be on the look out for those governments and their institutions who want to limit the voices on the internet. The governments of China, Russia and the US, at least, have complained about the openness of the internet. And, rightfully so. Because, it is through the voices of the people their weakness are exposed!

Roba,

Sorry about your eyes, I'm going to try to separate my sentences. I know I said that once before to 'Promises'[name of a blogger] but then I started again violating what I said I wont do. I guess habits aren't that easy to get rid of but believe me I'm trying. Take a look at the blog today 10/11 and lett me know if it is any better.
Again, sorry Roba.

Roba said...

Yeah, I noticed in your social security post, thanks!

Hi there H em Abunimeh,
Just to give you a heads up, you're probably going to get some more comments on this post: Yes to comments. I found you when I was out looking for the latest info about rashguards volcom products, and even though this doesn't relate to rashguards volcom, I still had to stop and tell you that you're doing a great job. You're about to get some visits from my brother and sister. I told them about your blog so I hope you don't mind.

Hi H em Abunimeh,
I have to say that your blog hits the spot!
I was out looking for information on baby rash guard but found your post: Yes to comments to be far more interesting than what I was looking for. Quite a good job you're doing on your site here... I'm thinking about making a blog about baby rash guard I want to make it look like yours here. If you have any tips or secrets maybe you could share :)

It was great to visit your blog, thanks.

Aloha H em Abunimeh,

Thanks for your nice blog H em Abunimeh, I think I'll tell my cousin to stop by if that's okay.

Hi, you almost lost me for one second there... but I'm glad I didn't click away. First, I enjoyed your post, and second, maybe you can help. I don't know how much blog spam you get but I get tons on my blog. Most of the time I'm talking about rashguards stuff because I have a rashguards website, and people post all this junk with their links and stuff. As blog owners, I guess we'll always be subject to the unethical and inconsiderate. Well, hopefully it's not driving you to crazy... Good luck partner, enjoy the positives friend.

Bye ~

H em Abunimeh, I need a little inspiration... I've read your post 'Yes to comments', I enjoyed it so I decided to comment. I've been thinking about my blog and how there are all these people posting strange comments there. Maybe you understand, I'm not sure, but it's tiring to read the numbers of comments that don't have much to do with my stuff. My normal womens rash guards website never suffers this because it just sells womens rash guards and isn't a blog. Do you have any ideas for how to stop the cluttering of non-relevant comments? Thanks for your great blog. Tips are always welcome...

good day -

H em Abunimeh, what are we going to do...? I'm not sure about you but it's getting harder and harder to enjoy my blog because of all the spam it's getting attacked with. You may be having a similar problem... I enjoy my normal site about rash guard because it doesn't get cluttered with shallow comments, but when I'm visiting other blogs and places on the web looking for rash guard stuff it seems to be everywhere.

Well I'm not sure if you have any good tips, but good luck with your website goals. I wish you the best.
