Are Bloggers A Scholar?
2005.04.02 1:50

It'd been six months since I last time visited the Voo Doo Lounge, where lots of language teachers get together. I asked some of them you know blog? Many didn't know. It seemed to me that they prefer social activities like get-together in a bar rather than 'blogging', it was a fresh surprise for me to find blogging is not as popular as merry-making in a bar with a beer and a girl.
When I talked to a guy about blogging, immediately he replied, 'yeah yeah I am addicted', addicted like smoking? I don't like that idea. ..
He was a graduate student pursuing Ph.D in math. Are many bloggers a scholar like him? As far as I saw it from the last night people, I concluded so. Objection anybody?

I plan on returning to school for a MS in Computer Science. I already have a BBA in Management and a BS in Computer Science. I'd say anyone who blogs is likely more intelligent than the general population. Since it takes some intelligence to succeed in school, then I guess it could also follow that bloggers tend to be scholars. But, we really are generalizing here in either case.

Six months ago I started using a computer for reference purposes, then sruck to this site. Till that time I had been writting a bunch of scribles in notebooks, and I was just wondering whether to have chances to show my writings. This site is very good for me to exchange our views and know what others are thinking in their journals and comments. There are other users - computer people, game people, and not only those users including us, sitting in front of screen for hours requires some sort of perseverence, deligence, and maybe intelligence too.
Your fourth foe has been blogging since almost the same days as I started in another MH's site. I am not sure what his educational background is, but apparently his writings show certain sort of insight, basically his thoughts are not derived from books but direct experience, and all the more he doesn't have to verify or confirm whether his idea is right. At least he's speaking something certain from his experiences where his idea stands.
We'd better look on the sunny side of anyone's character. He is participating in serious discussions from his perspectives. That's important. I don't mind his offensive rebuttals, though I were a moderator, I would mod what I have to do. Sometimes intelligence means to give him a wide berth and try to give him plenty of rope.--Ancient Greek Philosophers -18c Enlightenment Thinkers -Slashdotters
