Managing The Conversation

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Alasdair Stuart | No Comments

I’m experimenting with the shape I leave on the internet. You’ll see more of this in the coming weeks, but for now I’m channeling communication a little more, working a little smarter. One of the ways I’m doing that is through how I communicate with people online, which is why you’ll see this line at the bottom of each post:

Want to talk to me about the article? Come see me on Twitter at @alasdairstuart or email me.

It’s also why comments will remain off for the forseeable future.  It’s because I’m trying to even the conversational playing field. Anonymity on the internet is both a blessing and a curse. In the past I’ve received comments from people who genuinely don’t like me for reasons they view as legitimate. That’s fine: I stay out of their way, they stay out of mine, we agree to disagree. But I’ve also been on the receiving end of intentionally malicious drivebys, and I don’t need to put up with that. Wheaton’s law is very much in effect here and always will be.

if you’d like talk to me about the blog, or movies, or just about anything else, please use the links. Especially Twitter, I’m there far too much anyway and always glad for the company. Or, to put it another way…
