There is no single ettiquette for posting responses to blogs, as far as I know.

It seems to me neither here nor there as to where I respond to any posts I see. I have stated my reasons for posting here on Bob’s blog, I have no idea if they are still up or not.

As for moderation, I don’t think that I must allow any and all posts to be published. I intend to communicate my point of view here. You have your own blog, you can do what you like with yours.

It is interesting, however, that you choose to shoot the messenger rather than deal with the substance of the message. I am preparing a post that I may or may not publish concerning the Young Fundamentalist ‘old boys club’. It is quite amusing to see you all circle the wagons and refuse to deal with substance.

The criticisms of ‘old fundamentalism’ can continue unabated, but the ‘new fundamentalism’ looks a lot like the old, just younger.

Somehow it seems hard to respect your approach here. If you really find offense and want to address Bob directly, do it where the perceived (pun intended) offense occurred. Don’t make your personal digs unless you’re prepared to do it on his turf. And especially don’t do it with your comment moderation protection enabled.

But hey, it’s your blog. It’s your conscience. You can do whatever you want in the blogosphere. So do what seems right in your own eyes.
