Maybe because, with one lengthy exception, most people involved had a sense of humor about the whole awkward situation. I’m impressed by the way this all turned out as well.

I completely understand and next time I’ll re-read what I’ve written before hitting submit :)

Sorry if I overinterpreted. Maybe it's because it combined Stephen Abram and a sense of "don't say anything against Library 2.0" in the same post, and given Abram's dismissal of all "opposition," combined with the force of the language, it struck me the (wrong?) way. If you'd said "Stephen makes some great points that those who've opposed Library 2.0 should think about," I might disagree over how great the points are (or, more to the point, whether the virtues of new applications rise to the level of a Movement requiring a Name), but certainly wouldn't hassle you over the comment. Do note: It's also the case that, if I didn't think you had worthwhile things to say, I would never have linked to your blog in a post.

Is it good or bad when something you wrote causes so much hub bub? First, Walt, I want to apologize that your comment was filtered as Spam - I just installed Spam Karma and I'm learning how to use it - I didn't even know there was a comment waiting for moderation until I read your thread here. Second, I am sorry to everyone I offended - and have posted it officially at my blog. I never ever meant for people to interpret my post as you did. Steve Lawson was right in his original interpretation; I just thought that Stephen Abram had a great post and I wanted to let people knew I agreed with him. Steven Cohen (too many Steves around here) - glad you like my spunk - I actually have a lot of it in person - I was just expressing it all verbally at work - guess I didn't have an outlet yesterday :) Anyway, once again, I'm sorry if anyone took my post the wrong way - I'll watch my words next time.

(You may be too young: First episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, as she's interviewing for a newsroom job. "You got spunk, kid. I hate spunk.") You're right, of course: Spunk is a good thing. And I like Nicole's blog, by and large. If I thought it was worthless, I wouldn't comment on it. But I was so taken aback by that post... I won’t do an Ed Asner.

I commented on Abram's piece last night at 10:00PM and it still hasn't been posted. In fact, who knows how many other comments he hasn't moderated yet. Don't get me wrong, he's a very very very busy guy, but that should have been taken into account when he started the blog. I wonder if he has an assistant that could moderate his comments.... I also know Nicole from Web2Learning. Her blog is wonderful. I love the fact that she's passionate about what she believes in and expressed it. Good for her. I only said, "Huh?" because I'm not used to reading posts like that from her. Spunk is good! Very good! It's when bloggers lose their spunk (or don't have it in the first place) when they start to bore.
