Blogging is no panacea, no complete replacement for PR; more an antidote or corrective therapy. Above all that, conversation is at the foundation of it all, the fact that Scoble reacted in a way that seemed to suppress conversation or the right of others to converse, merely confirms the existence of conversation rather than harms it. People should separate the -human - content of the conversation from the fact of it. And I should give up lecturing.
