I think there's definitely room for the comment that&lt;br&gt;takes a different tack or points out something the writer might have&lt;br&gt;missed, but doesn't necessarily violently disagree.  That's certainly&lt;br&gt;the type of comment I encourage  :-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 2:03 PM, Disqus&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">mathewi</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:08:03 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Blogs and the &amp;#8220;phone-in show&amp;#8221; effect</title><link>http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/04/01/blogs-and-the-phone-in-show-effect/#comment-290009</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Heh...violent agreement. How would that look?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Let me agree with you or I'll stab you in the face!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Personally I do find myself commenting on people's stuff when I disagree slightly more often than when I agree, though not overwhelmingly so. Sometimes I just want to add my two cents, or point out a different angle or related fact. Which is sort of like disagreeing, I guess, if you want to take it that way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Never saw much point in the "Rah Rah" type comment either, as I'm sure others don't, which may skew the results.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Tim Burden</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:02:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Blogs and the &amp;#8220;phone-in show&amp;#8221; effect</title><link>http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/04/01/blogs-and-the-phone-in-show-effect/#comment-289873</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks, Todd -- that gave me a laugh  :-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 1:29 PM, Disqus&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">mathewi</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 13:33:10 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Blogs and the &amp;#8220;phone-in show&amp;#8221; effect</title><link>http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/04/01/blogs-and-the-phone-in-show-effect/#comment-289844</link><description>&lt;p&gt;YOU ARE SO WRONG!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No, seriously - interesing post.
