I’d say that typecasts may discuss anything, including important, fundamental questions, but let’s hope they do so thoughtfully and that no mud wrestling ensues. Happily, I don’t think I’ve seen an example of political or religious name-calling contests in the typosphere, whereas they are common in the online news media (especially the comments sections).
Yes, I guess it’s the mud-wrestling I wish to avoid. I’m not one to build my life around the trivial, but once in a while I need a time-out from all the serious matters in life. I enjoy going to the typosphere for a brief respite from the media circus which thrives on serving a steady diet of bad news.
I wholeheartedly agree. When I’m in the mood for a heated argument, I’ll go peruse the annals of YouTube comments on Jon Stewart clips. To the Typosphere!
amen, brother! (:
