George Brown, who moderates the discussion at "The Rant" (News 3's Blog), is getting a little frustrated with the flamewars that constantly erupt in the comment section.
My Take:
1. The Rant has been a column in the Memphis Flyer for quite some time. Get yourself a new title that doesn't plagiarize a publication in the same market as you.
2. May I remind you, you are on THE INTERNET. We all know that the things the internet does best are (in order) Porn and letting little people feel big by slamming each other on forums and message boards. You're only adding fuel to the fire when you encourage people to Rant or you bring up racial issues in a city like Memphis. If you can't stand the flamewars, get off the internet.
3. Nice little WordPress blog you have there. You know they let you host those on your own site, right? Guess you don't care about your web traffic numbers, which is the only conceivable purpose I see for starting a blog that's centered around controversy and response (hence traffic).
I just always think it's funny when people get in a tizzy about people coming onto "their" site and not "obeying the rules." Look pal, if your audience had above a 3rd grade reading level, they might show some more respect for one another. Just don't count on it.
