Re: Conversation on the internet - is it a lost art?

News and news-aggregate sites seem to get lots of comments and while part of that may be just because they have a large audience, I think part of it is that it's easy to get people to voice their opinions when the subject matter is controversial or when, by doing so, people can talk themselves up and feel superior to others. When I used to read articles on The Stir, they always ended with a direct question asking for everyone's thoughts on the subject. That was actually the reason I stopped visiting The Stir: it was really easy to get sucked into the comments section and most of the people commenting there were absolutely awful.

One thing that tends to keep me from commending is that I don't want to have to maintain accounts on every platform or sign up for and give out my email address to every website specially in order to do so. It's just not worth the trouble even if I find myself dying to say something.

They get a lot of comments, but the thing is it rarely starts a discussion - and when it does it usually devolves pretty fast.
