  In many ways this seems to have replaced diaries as a way of organizing your thoughts prior to screaming them into the void, with the bonus of spam and random racist diatribes. Perhaps bonus is the wrong word there.

    Same here. I often find myself writing similar things under similar topics, but the very act of writing a comment makes me refine my beliefs just a bit. (And then I can always count on other people to call me on my bullshit, which is another learning opportunity.)
