You might want to grab a cuppa for this one, because Imma take you on a bender with a long arc and it will probably be night time before we return home!

I distinctly remember becoming aware of how this is actually a violation of Jesus’ “Golden Rule” — in other words: we ought to listen to others, much in the same way that we want others to listen to us.

Yes: I just quoted myself — which is (IMHO) perfectly OK because I manage so many blogs that now and then I simply have to do it! 😛

Well, so I see that other blog post as the introduction to my topic here today, so if you haven’t seen it, then please hop on over and check it out (it opens a new page, so it’s absolutely no problem at all to get back here 😉 ). And it’s not terribly long, either.

My hunch (also known as a hypothesis) is that few bloggers read other blogs and probably fewer interact in a significant way. Mind you: I said bloggers — let alone the general population (who hardly seem aware that the internet exists beyond the realm of Google & Amazon & Netflix (wait a second — is that the INTERNET, too?). Marketers will trample all over anything that sounds even remotely social, but marketing is different than what regular folks do — isn’t it?

Still — none of these folks, whether regular or normal or abnormal or whatever, do much more than dip their toes in. Balls deep? Are you kidding me?

Before I make a short story long, let me cut to the chase. During the 4 weeks of the advent season leading up to Christmas, I plan to entertain different aspects of this question (“How many writers and bloggers apply the Golden Rule to writing and blogging?”) … and maybe I will even manage to arrive at some sort of conclusion before the year ends (hopefully we will not all be lost forever, right?).

Sounds good? SMASH that subscribe button! 😀
