Honest question from one who largely ignores the blog wars-This is the part of blogging that I understand the least.
At what point does the line between being sensibly informed and giving them too much attention here get crossed?

Agree, the whole thing just baffles me. What the heck is a “stalker blog”? Is it a specific genre? How do you know when the same person goes around (where?) using different names? There were comments on the last thread about all this that left me utterly confused.

But then, my own biggest online presence is on librarything.com, which is not a site prone to flame wars, stalkers, etc. Mostly we disagree on which is Jane Austen’s finest novel, and whether or not one should shelve ones books alphabetically by author only, or within categories. Our only competition is who can read the most books from the “1001 Books to Read Before You Die” list.

My current, appropriate read: All Quiet on the Western Front.
