So degrading blogging in a forum is something I don't get. And you know... I wonder who's started more threads in EWN than anyone else.
I see blogs more as a way to get your opinion out in an extended vehicle. I cared not what peoples opinion were of said blog (though the encouragement I got from the likes of you and several other members eventually led to me sticking around long enough to join the boards) rather that I was able to vent my current frustrations and thoughts as to what I see wrong. With threads, I use it as a way to openly debate what the topic of conversation is. I guess that's what keeps me here the most. I love wrestling and debating / learning others view points on topics that interest me, so I seek out intellectual people on the thread who I feel can give me a chance to think deeper on something besides Miz Sucks, TNA is shit.
Far too often I am let down with the expectations I have of people to actually "think" before just regurgitating bile, but there are times where I get to hear people with actually views on things that I enjoy. I guess that's why I tend to comment on Iron Ape posts so much because I find him fascinating and his opinion, though some might contradict mine, are very sound in the logic he presents to a conversation.
