What are our responsibilities to others when we blog? Do we have responsibilities to others when we communicate?
Blogging furthers one's communication with the outside world. Ideas are shared and relationships are formed. New understandings to previous meanings are found. A great responsibility is presented within a larger realm of communication. Not only is one writing for himself, he is writing for many, some of which he will never see in his lifetime. Writers who post their work on the web are actually sending it to others for feedback. Good writing is never finished. Blogging is a way for one idea to be met with many opinions. All opinions are valid and worth hearing. The right to freely communicate should never be restrained from anyone, regardless of knowledge on the subject. Criticism is a part of writing. All great works faced criticism for others or from the authors themselves. Blogging is no different.
