DISQUS

Quote: "My problem with ’squee’ is that it may focus too much on a person or persons instead of on ideas, on proposals, on concepts and dreams about librarianship. Let’s get excited and show it, but let it be over issues, not persons. The cult of person that has grown increasingly strong in this day and age is one for which I have an abhorrence because I think it is misleading and could even be dangerous. "

And yet, you post to blogs your opinions which are a reflection of you, the person.. Though you may discuss various ideas and concepts, blog posts are all about your opinions of them, about you, the person's, ideas and thoughts on whatever subject, and therefore about you, the person, as much as anything else.

Hm. I'm not sure how to respond because I'm not quite sure what you're trying to point out. Are you saying that I am adding to the cult of personality by having a blog and/or commenting on someone else's blog? If so, I'm still a bit in the dark because I can't really see the connection or justification for that view.
