Bravo, Mark
Bravo, Mark, for not engaging with the tempest-in-a-teacup that's brewing over at Grand Text Auto, and for telling us why a thoughtful response on one's *own* blog is better than leaving a comment that will inevitably start a flame war. Yes, comments aggregate content to one's own site, and focus the discourse on your venue but the integrity of the community has to come first, sometimes. Conventional academic discourse is tendentious enough; there's no need to replicate the worst of it in blog comments. Well done, Mark.

Thanks for stopping by, Elin! I think what's operative here, maybe, are different ideas about what constitutes a "docuverse," and competing pictures of what the Web should look like. Comments impose a hierarchy of types of things said on the Web, and conflict with the "flatter" docuverse that I hold in my own imagination as an ideal.
