Collective Fiction by the members of Blog Catalog'

libdrone — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 07:11:55 -0500

Since we have not had a new thread of the day nominated for a few days, I am going to risk some shameless self promotion and direct the group to

http://www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/collective-fiction-by-the-members-of-blog-catalog

about a short story collectively written by Blog Catalog members on a discussion thread just like this one. OK, so it's not Shakesbeer (err umm Shakespeare) or even J.K. Rowling, but it is funny and something a bit different from our usual BC discussions.

When Is War Justified?'

libdrone — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 01:52:40 -0500

For today's thread of the day I have to nominate JD's excellent inquiry on when war is justified. This thread attracted wide participation across broad ideological and geographical chasms and is well worth reading.

Welcome to Carpebagger-- some info for newbies.'

libdrone — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 01:54:05 -0500

We encourage you to post links to exceptional threads here on BlogCatalog, and to *Members* exceptional blog posts.

But this is NOT a shameless promotion group. You really should be highlighting things OTHERS have written that you found to be of exceptional quality.

And you should try to limit yourself to the best of the best. No hard fast rules on this unless something develops that seems to me to be a problem. Just use your better judgment and think in the terms of highlighting the best posting out there.

Please also tag your threads with "carpetbagger" so that anyone can do a search in the groups for that and find all of these threads.

Universal Health Care'

Would you vote for Hillary Clinton?'

libdrone — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 02:52:20 -0500

I beg the group's indulgence in parking the Hillary thread here for awhile where it won't get lost. I believe that someone will be setting up a Hillary group at which time it could be there.

(stating clearly that I do NOT think it was one of BC's better let alone best discussions. IF this were a movie the thread would be on the cutting room floor, but since we are trying to get a range of political discussions going on Blog Catalog, here it is...)

Ron Paul and the Constitution'

libdrone — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 00:39:17 -0500

For the best thread of the day I nominate my own Would You Vote For Ron Paul?

Which resulted in a great blog post by JD at:
