I borrowed this from a random site and modified it quite a bit. Answer the following questions and provide links where appropriate.
1. Who is your most frequent commenter on your blog?
Gotta be kingdavid at FarWright.
2. Do you return the favor and comment at their site?
Absolutely. It’s the law.
3. Whose comments inspire you or force you to reconsider your opinions?
Christian at Sharp Iron. I don’t always agree, but his take on faith issues frequently causes me to look at why I believe what I believe.
4. On which two blogs do you comment most frequently?
5. Have you ever commented on a blog just to ’stir the pot’?
Once in a great while. When I see one-sided attacks on faith or political issues that concern me I’ll leap in.
6. Have your ever posted a comment because someone wrote something that infuriated you?
Frequently.
7. Have you ever banned commenters/trolls? Ever been banned?
Yes. Karen knows who. When someone continually uses foul language, gets verbally abusive or criminally stupid. I have not been banned as far as I know, but I’ve seen my comments deleted on several sites when I post opposing viewpoints.
8. Which post on your blog has generated the most comments. Why? (Provide a link to the post.)
Two posts: Kent Hovind Off to Jail (154 comments) and Sarah Palin for President (10,379 hits and 93 comments). The Hovind post generated lots of comments (frequently uncharitable) from Young Earth Creationists and the Sarah Palin post because she is a very popular/controversial figure.
9. Which topic (as opposed to a specific post) generates the most comments?
Politics. This was a critical election and lots of people held very strong opinions.
10. Have you ever commented on a blog and purposely disguised your info so that you or your blog couldn’t be identified?
Never (as far as I can remember). Own your opinions. Several commenters have done it here, though.
11. Do you post about controversial topics (politics, religion, social issues)? Do you receive comments from opposing viewpoints? Are they civil?
Yes and yes. Depends on the topic. Generally folks are civil, but I’ve found that many folks of a liberal persuasion need lessons in common courtesy.
Feel free to pass this one along. For grins I’ll tag kingdavid, Karen, and Christian.
