“It really is high time we developed a Christian ethic of blogging. Bad temper is bad temper even in the apparent privacy of your own hard drive, and harsh and unjust words, when released into the wild, rampage around and do real damage. And as for the practice of saying mean and untrue things while hiding behind a pseudonym—well, if I get a letter like that it goes straight in the bin. But the cyberspace equivalents of road rage don’t happen by accident. People who type vicious, angry, slanderous and inaccurate accusations do so because they feel their worldview to be under attack. Yes, I have a pastoral concern for such people. (And, for that matter, a pastoral concern for anyone who spends more than a few minutes a day taking part in blogsite discussions, especially when they all use code names: was it for this that the creator God made human beings?)”
And all of God's people said...

Re: N.T. Wright On The Need For A "Christian Ethic of Blogging"
I agree completely with Bishop Tom on needing a Christian ethic of blogging, but for the life of me I do not understand his problem with blogging generally. He simply doesn't get it or even see it's usefulness. OK, I hear it's not to replace face-to-face 'bodily' conversation, but certainly it has its place!

Re: N.T. Wright On The Need For A "Christian Ethic of Blogging"
Will,
Right on. Your comments actually made me re-read Wright's statement. I guess that final parenthetical thought really can be seen as a shot at blogdom in general, which, as you rightly point out, is a bit of an overreach. In truth, the Christian blogs I read and see revelant discussions on almost never have pseudonyms or even allow anonymous comments (to any great extent).
Perhaps you've also heard the good Bishop take some shots at blogdom in the class you just took with him? Hmmmmmm????? :-)
