Compliment, Comment, and Complain
Recently I read a article "The Top 10 Reasons We Deleted Your Comment", which discussed the reasons why NY Times censored post that they did not approve of and the reasons why such as, profanity or name calling. Some may see this as a way to pick and choose what comments they like, but I personally view it as a way to keep negative or comments that seem more like an essay away from your post. Comments on articles are meant to be short and get your point across in a few words unless of course your discussing a topic and what you think about it such as, politics or books that you have read. They may also block your comment if you use fake e-mails or had plagiarized someone else's work, which makes no point in the first place, since, the first thing they'll do is check to see if you are who you say you are or if your post contains your actual thoughts not someone else's. A couple reasons they found irritating and felt that it would be best that they didn't post your comment. Personally, I believe that all these reasons are agreeable and I would check for some of these things on comments that I've posted.
Also, while listening to "From Commented To Columnist: The Atlantic's 'Cynic' " it described a story of a grad student who commented on The Atlantic under the pseudonym 'Cynic' and became a columnist for The Atlantic after commenting over a three year period. Cynic began commenting on The Atlantic because he liked the way the blog expanded on ideas instead of tit for tat, he found it easy to expand on topics such as, Ulysses S. Grant and people really liked that he put thought in his comments. Soon people began to wonder who Cynic actually was, almost like a superhero with a secret identity, he was even given a deal if he gave his true identity he would be given a job at a the Atlantic; because, they really enjoyed his comments. He was unsure by this idea and wondered if it was it the write thing to do; I would be the same way especially because I would think that what if I was not as good as a columnist as I was a commented or what if people didn't like my column? He eventually decided to give up his identity and become a columnist for The Atlantic and now works for them enjoying one of his passions, writing.
