Yes - somehow I don't think the first commenter actually read the article. 681970@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Dec 2007 12:41:43 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/19/003738.php#comment-681968 John, your insight into modern criticism is spot on. I enjoy reading various critical views of pop culture online, but there's something about sitting down with a print copy of a magazine or book that still works. The internet, however, has the potential to open up new, fresh ideas of modern culture and introduce people to the more obscure aspects of culture in a non-threatening way. Thanks for the article (it seems the commenter above doesn't quite understand what you mean by "criticism," but I digress). 681968@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Dec 2007 12:40:15 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/19/003738.php#comment-681494 FOR YOUR INFORMATION: There is some kind of business maxim that states, "employees must be expected to take some criticism from employers". Problems begin when criticism is directed toward individuals from company rosters although individuals have no plans to join such company. There should be some way to complain about such activities, especially since Internet use can increase the persecutory load that targeted individuals must endure. 681494@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Dec 2007 16:34:52 EST
