I mean, a New Age kind of thing about participatory journalism, a digital conversation between bloggers and commenters, no more top-down Voices of Authority, but instead a dialogue of equals. Right? Or so I’m told. When a blogger or bulletin board host slams the door in a commenter’s face, that seems more Old Journalism than New, a digital version of Never make war against someone who buys ink by the barrel.

My guess is that Steve was least impressed by the book's coverage of the California wine regions he is most familiar with, as he seldom comments on wines made elsewhere. As far as Jancis Robinson goes, it is hard to believe that she would be able to complete two enormous books so close together - American Wine and Wine Grapes - in addition to her many other activities. That said, and despite Heimoff's comments, I have since ordered my own copy of American Wine.

But, the point of discussion boards to me is discussion, and unless the discussion hits one of those "obnoxious" levels, it at least deserves to sit there.<br /><br />No one can or should feel obligated to respond to everything. In the early days, Steve responded to nothing, and I chided him for that. Then he started responding to everything and it got a little bit too "precious".<br /><br />Whether or not he responds to criticism is less of a concern for me. It a criticism is levelled and there is no response, then it stands there on its own uncontradicted. <br /><br />That is OK with me. Removing legitimate differences of opinion, however, is not something that I believe ought to happen.Charlie Olkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513782687786106137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677155356733403823.post-22676656321910568302013-02-15T11:01:58.314-07:002013-02-15T11:01:58.314-07:00Charlie, I never asked to be loved by Steve.
