Stoic doctrinal review? Hey, I love the Stoics. I've been meaning to do a comparison of Stoic philosophy at the time of Christ with Mormon theology. (Seriously) If I do it next week, can we do a clean sweep? Which did we miss out on? Stoic doctrinal review? Hey, I love the Stoics.

It takes a certain je-ne-sais-quoi. Millennial Star stumbled upon it last week -- who knows if they shall ever rediscover its wonder.

After all, I can think of a blog which featured: (1) a Hugh Nibley post on February 23rd, the day before Nibley passed away -- a post which was in full swing with dozens of comments at the time Nibley's death was announced; (2) a few subsequent Nibley posts, including a great collection of quotes, and a ton of comments; (3) two posts about community building -- perhaps the only two posts about community building in the 'nacle this week (one of which was touted by one Steve Evans); (4) plus, a rolicking good discussion of kidneys for sale. Also, I have my doubts as to whether a solitary post at BCC qualifies for the #2 topic. Now, if it were a post about selling your kidneys, maybe. So I know it's your game and all, but come on -- you can only give so many positive reviews to Speed 2 before you're going to be written off as an unreliable critic. Steve,

Your bias is coming through, my friend. After all, I can think of a blog which featured:

(1) a Hugh Nibley post on February 23rd, the day before Nibley passed away — a post which was in full swing with dozens of comments at the time Nibley’s death was announced;

(2) a few subsequent Nibley posts, including a great collection of quotes, and a ton of comments;

(3) two posts about community building — perhaps the only two posts about community building in the ‘nacle this week (one of which was touted by one Steve Evans);

(4) plus, a rolicking good discussion of kidneys for sale.

Also, I have my doubts as to whether a solitary post at BCC qualifies for the #2 topic. Now, if it were a post about selling your kidneys, maybe.

So I know it’s your game and all, but come on — you can only give so many positive reviews to Speed 2 before you’re going to be written off as an unreliable critic.

Your monolithic site impedes its ability to tap in to the collective unconscious of the Bloggernacle. Yes, ultimately you shape the way all of us think, since we all link to you and we all read you; but this is not the same thing as capturing the true spirit of the Nacle. That said, your post on community-building was a good one, and would have made the list were it not sandbagged by a bunch of hack commenters.

Millennial Star, a site that I can hardly claim to identify with, seized the title. So before you question my impartiality, perhaps you'd best try to explain away that little item.

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://bt.splendidsun.com/?p=22#comment-96 Steve Evans, you are too generous in your assessment of me. Posting quotes has got to be <b>the</b> easiest way to blog, a cop out in a way. I don't have to come up with anything witty or insightful myself. However, I must say that I am pleased to make it into the <i>Times</i>. Thanks for the compliment and the exposure! Steve Evans, you are too generous in your assessment of me.
