Comments on: Multiple Sources Are A Good Thing! http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/multiple-sources-are-a-good-thing/ My Thoughts on Healing, Raiding, and being a Resto Druid Mon, 20 May 2013 19:02:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Leafy http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/multiple-sources-are-a-good-thing/#comment-2448 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 23:39:37 +0000 http://fallingleavesandwings.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/multiple-sources-are-a-good-thing/#comment-2448 This post has taken on new life for me since I realised it works best if I imagine you on the wrong end seven beers and a couple of bourbon chasers and waving a stick at the audience.

A fine rant, in other words. :-)

I sometimes find that I read blogs where I may have little to no interest in the content – except that the blogger who presented it is absolutely amazing. They quite literally make me interested in the content that they are writing about. I think each person has something unique to add to the blogosphere, and each voice only makes the choir more powerful.

Just because you feel that someone else maybe did it better doesn’t mean that someone else would feel the same way! I can’t say it enough, the more information that is available, the richer the community becomes :)

I also love posts that are “I started to write this as a comment, and it just got too long”. I think it’s great that the community can have a conversation like that! I agree – give me more!

You want to make your mark, offer something fresh and are really worried about just regurgitating what those before you have done. I’m very glad to see that you are encouraging people to post what they feel strongly and passionately about, or that they feel would be useful – even if it has been said before. Kudos to you!

Everyone will have unique experiences that will color their thoughts and suggestions. Being able to pool from all of those experiences is wonderful!

When you visit, if you are only going to the “guides” or “sources” and maybe only skimming over some of the articles and their comments, I could easily see how it’s missed. But, unfortunately, I do think that it is there :( It is a little disheartening.

You may have a point as well – maybe I am making more of it than it is. Perhaps day to day readers aren’t picking up on the same undertones that I am, or maybe I am just being sensitive to it because I love the druid community. I’m not entirely certain. I can only offer my commentary on how I feel as both a reader and a blogger in the community.

Communities are only as strong as those active in the community. There can never be too much information floating around out there. I also know that it can be a little demoralizing to visit someone else’s blog and see they just posted on something you had been working on – but I think people should still post those things :)

You can never have too many resources available. As for stepping on anyone’s toes – it isn’t a competition! There aren’t toes to step on, just more useful knowledge to be put out there :)
