My dear friend and blogging partner David Wayne reaches his 1000th post<\/a> today. Congratulations David! He says \u201cblogging has been the next best thing to the seminary experience for me<\/em>\u201d and then goes onto say something which I think Spencer and Johnson are discovering.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have the tendency to become insular and not able to see outside our own traditions and circles of friends. As a Presbyterian I can go to my church and rail against the liberals, the arminians, the Baptists (he-he, I just had to throw that one in!) and all kinds of folks and get nothing but hearty amens, pats on the backs and thanks that we\u2019re not like them. <\/em><\/p>\n

But in blogging I have found that I tend to get read by those I criticize, and that adds a whole new perspective. Blogging makes it hard to attack straw men. The blogosphere is one place where straw men have an uncanny ability to attack back. As much as I have loved interacting with those who share my views in the blogosphere I have to say that interacting with those who oppose my views has been richly rewarding, even when I remain unconvinced by their arguments\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Pop over to Jollyblogger and tell him what you appreciate about his blogging. While you are at it, why not tell me how I should use my own 2000th post which is coming up fast\u2026.!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
