BOB IS NOT GOSPEL, THIS IS A SEMINAR | 2007-03-26
Mr. Webb says that people who read and comment here are the ones who find Bob's ideas interesting and, in general, correct. He finds this highly offensive and a sign that we are not up to the high standrads of the "new ideas" -- unspecified -- that he has.
Outside of academia, monopolies, or other authoritarian systems, people will be found where they feel that what is presented is correct and interesting. So if you go to Bob's Blog, you will find people who agree that Bob is interesting and generally right. If Mr. Webb finds this intolerable, he is in fr a very grim time in this world.
On Planet Earth, if you just jump in and insult the person who is conducting a blog and say everything he says is crap, it would be very strange indeed if those who choose that blog didn't overwhelmingly criticize you. You see this as a conspiracy.
But then again, you see EVERYTHING as a conspiracy, don't you?
This is a seminar, not a dictatorship. I would be a bit concerned if Mr. Webb DID get any power in the media, because he does not seem to understand the concepts of free discussion and open competition.
I said that Al Parker was not thinking in his last post. But for Al that is just a correction of someone I know CAN think. I do not know whether Mr. Webb really understgands how the world works at all.
