Ohio blogs dysfunctional? DSM criteria remain unmet


I was all set and ready to write a nice warm, house is quieting before Shabbat post, and then I read this.

I’ve exchanged some very nice emails with Bill Beutler who edits/authors Blogometer and I understand from him that he doesn’t always do 100% of the research and writing. Hey, there are at least 28 million blogs out there, I can’t imagine pulling from them everyday for what he produces.

However, I must disagree with Bill, or whomever wrote the headline, Are OH Politics Really This Much More Dysfunctional Than Other States? Or Do They Just Have More Bloggers?

What’s happened this week in Ohio in regard to a not nice headline and post on the now defunct blog, High and Broad, shows to me precisely how well-adjusted at least some segments of the blogosphere function. How else would you explain the shutting down of the offending blog, the (maybe hanging out to dry) apology from the blogger and the concrete pronouncement out of The New Rules by none other than a blogger whom many consider to be beyond the pale, not to mention one of the staunchest proponents of blogs and bloggers not needing a written code of ethics of any type?

Sad to say but I know dysfunction pretty up close – through education, work and personal experience. Ohio’s blogs dysfunctional? Not according to my DSM.
