I suppose the author admits they exist out there, but it'd be nice to get a little shout-out. Oh well. <BR/><BR/>I wouldn't worry too much about veering off topic. I'm in favor of tangential and relevant discussions; unfortunately I've seen too many discussions (that weren't destined for greatness from the outset, but nonetheless) devolve into messy and off-topic debates. If one person says something ignorant, the Iron Clad Law of the Internet dictates that apparently twenty people have to jump to refute it. Now twenty multiplied by twenty, multiplied by twenty...T.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00945932279787919282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-91594127930520539982009-02-12T11:34:00.000-05:002009-02-12T11:34:00.000-05:00Really stellar work, TS.

These do's and don't's should be printed out and stapled to the foreheads of every avatar out there who dares utter Unkie Oscar's name between now and the ceremony. A lot of folks will disagree with the points here, though, especially "DON'T stay on topic". Since my blog entries and essays are frequently as desultory as they come, it always irks me when I get slapped on the wrist. Ah well, that's what happens when your right brain gets a yen to start annexing most of the left hemisphere...<BR/><BR/>Also, doesn't it seem like the folks who say that blogs don't do complexity are conspicuously avoiding/ignoring ours?Joseph "Jon" Lanthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00826623899121215596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-89875949681045629422009-02-12T10:36:00.000-05:002009-02-12T10:36:00.000-05:00Ha!

I say do it, and if I said don't do it, I'd be a raging hypocrite. They can't be ignored, and the more intelligent thoughts out there the better. I know whatever you'd produce, FilmDr, will be miles and miles above the inane debating, and I'd definitely want to read it.T.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00945932279787919282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-43778014969021556002009-02-12T10:01:00.000-05:002009-02-12T10:01:00.000-05:00Very funny.

I was thinking of writing up something about the Oscars with Dr. K (as we used to do in the newspaper world), but now that I've read your post, I'm reconsidering, especially given the sheer Oscar-related verbiage generated in the blogosphere. Perhaps it would be wiser to run from the building screaming.The Film Doctor https://www.blogger.com/profile/03073505923746994988noreply@blogger.com
