Everybody loves Dilbert
Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, has a blog that's a couple of months old and it's a big hit. The blog has hundreds of comments, and Adams talks about everything from his comic strips to bottled water to deviated septums.
Recently, he hit the nail on the head about blogs.
If you are new to the Internet, allow me to explain how to debate in this medium. When one person makes any kind of statement, all you need to do is apply one of these methods to make it sound stupid. Then go on the offensive.
He names seven generalities that are hilarious, and the premise is absolutely true: No matter what you say on a blog and no matter how harmless you think it is, someone will be offended.
And that post was a respone to his original post - which had 607 comments - where he asked readers to tell him why he is stupid.
Corporate bloggers (and PR bloggers for that matter) should take a drink of the Dilbert Kool-Aid and remember that blogging can be fun, even when commenters aren't always positive.
