Some people just can't handle the exchange of ideas, and it's beyond me why they're drawn to weblogs, an environment in which they're bound to be bruised. Tom Coates, a rather pedantic British blogger whom I met in person this week, is appalled by those he considers warbloggers. So, does he try to persuade them, and their readers? Nope. Coates's latest contribution to web culture: he proposes blocking undesirable visitors to his site. I mean, if they got through, he might actually win them over. On second thoughts, no.
