MYSTERIES OF BLOGGING

Phillip Coons poses the question,
Why do people enable comments on their blogs if they label anyone who comments (with an opposing viewpoint) a troll???
Heh.
Personally, I reserve the term for people who post idiotic, inflammatory comments without any substance for the purpose of inciting flame wars. So far, I have been fortunate to have very few of these.
