Alot of bloggers have commented on the rowdy Greensboro News & Record’s "Letters to the Editor" blog. Many are lamenting the lack of civility, the nasty posts made by people hiding behind their pseudonyms, etc.
Me? I love watching people with firmly held beliefs trying to convince someone else with equally firmly held, yet opposite beliefs that they are in fact wrong about their firmly held beliefs. This debate about torture is a prime example.
I’m sure this isn’t what John Robinson and company were striving for, but I feel the same guilty pleasure reading this blog as I do when I read the National Enquirer in the grocery store check out. Of course I’m sure John & company would love the Enquirer’s circulation!

That’s an excellent point Jon. I’m going to try reading the Letters comments with a new mantra: “This is not the news. This is Real World/Road Rules Challenge.”
Damn, I wish I’d thought of that analogy. I’m just not cool enough.
