Good-bye Abu Muqawama?

based on your Moral Foundations results.

This is one good point, and much better than what I said:

I think you might be close as to why some bloggers don't necessarily hang with us here at the Council, but I have a sneaking suspicion that there may be another reason as well: control. On their blogs they have total control, and there really isn't any discussion in the sense that we have here. They can turn off (or ignore) comments, which don't even necessarily show up on the main post unless you click on a link. Here they can't do that.

The valid point raised by tequila is handled by a Code of Conduct (informal) which is enforced by tradition and the moderators here. Also SWC has in effect, several hundred people who are running their own blogs here (we call them threads) - as to which, there are different cultures.

A good blog can be a "no-comments at all" blog - e.g., SCOTUSblog. But there, Lyle and the rest do pretty much straight up reporting - here is the case summary and here are the original case records. Quite different from SWC, which is mostly an opinion forum.

Interesting herd of cats here.

Come on, why this artificial distancing of SWC from bloggers?

Several SWC people are bloggers, an incomplete list is here:
