Health – Even if a blog is targeted towards the yeshivish community, it’s still a free for all for anybody in the world to read and comment on. What’s the point of having a discussion board that only expresses one point of view? Even in the yeshivish community people don’t always see eye to eye and while you may feel that your point is the only valid one, other people feel differently and are entitled to express that. If you stood in the middle of Times Square with a megaphone and shouted your opinions, people would have a right to answer. The internet is exactly the same thing, this isn’t a parlor meeting in your home. Any person in the universe that has an interest in reading this board can and does and unless they get banned by the moderators anyone who takes the time to register can comment. Your statement about what type of people make or don’t make comments on all kinds of blogs, which lead to sinas chinum has no basis in reality. How can you possibly back that statement up? Do you read every blog or newspaper comment out there? Do you do background checks on who wrote them? Even on this blog, the people that comment can be a stranger, a friend, a family member, someone you hate, someone you love, possibly even a law enforcement agent trying to understand how our community thinks. Blanket statements on something impossible to analyze doesn’t equal truth.
